Though the festival varies by country, it is dominated by themes of reunion and hope.Hot off the success of DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration #1, which introduced Marcus Sun, the Monkey Prince, DC Comics is going all in with the announcement of a 12-issue Monkey Prince mini-series from my favorite comics creative team of Gene Luen Yang 楊謹倫 and artist Bernard Chang 張伯納! The series, which is set to release on Lunar New Year 2022, looks to introduce the iconic Chinese character Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, into the DC Comics universe and tell a story inspired by the legendary story Journey to the West. Today, Spring Festival is celebrated in China and Hong Kong Lunar New Year is also celebrated in South Korea, Tibet, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and places with large Chinese populations. Repeating in a rotating basis, these animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Each year in the lunar calendar is named one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, which are derived from ancient Chinese folklore. ( Learn why some people celebrate Christmas in January.)Īs its name suggests, the date of the lunar new year depends on the phase of the moon and varies from year to year. When the newly founded Republic of China officially adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1912, its leaders rebranded the observation of the Lunar New Year as Spring Festival, as it is known in China today. Its holidays, however, are governed by its traditional lunisolar calendar, which may have been in use from as early as the 21st century B.C. Modern China actually uses a Gregorian calendar like most of the rest of the world. It is traditionally a time for family reunions, plenty of food, and some very loud celebrations. Lunar New Year falls this year on Sunday, January 22, 2023, kicking off the Year of the Rabbit.
And though it is known to some in the West as Chinese New Year, it isn’t just celebrated in China. Celebrated around the world, it usually prompts the planet’s largest annual migration of people.
