History of the Holiday

According to an ancient legend, Buddha（佛祖）asked all the animals to meet him on Lunar New Year. Twelve animals came, and Buddha named a year after each one.

Buddha announced that people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality. If you were born in 1970, 1982, 1994 or 2006, you were born in the year of the Dog. In ancient times, the dog is considered the best symbol for honesty and loyalty（忠诚）. People who were born in these years are believed to be honest, brave and filled with good luck and strength. They are said to get along best with people born in the year of the Tiger, Rat or Horse.

Festivals, Lions and Feasts（筵席）

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks and family gatherings. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions perform. The dancers are supposed to bring good luck to people. People often wear red. Legend has it that red can drive away bad luck.

27、Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer who would go from farm to farm and ranch (大牧场) to ranch, training horses. One day, while he was still in high school, Roberts was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be in the future.

That night, he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal (目标) of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail (细节) and even drew pictures of the ranch.

He put a great deal of heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”

Confused (困惑的), Roberts went to see his teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?” The teacher said. “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Buying a horse ranch takes a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it. Change it.”

Roberts went home and thought long and hard. One week later. the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

He said. “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
