My Choice - Chinese New Year 2011: Year of the Rabbit video

Chinese New Year 2011 - Year of the Rabbit. This is a medley of Chinese songs for the Chinese New Year and we're showing photos of various decorations used for the occasion including some taken in Malaysia. The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year. The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration! The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.
