The world celebrates the chinese new year 2023

Today, January , 2023, the world is celebrating the New Year according to the Chinese calendar - the Black Water Rabbit has come into its own, the correspondent of the Access News Agency reports.

By the way, a different chronology system operates in China, so instead of 2023, the 4720th came in China.

In China, the New Year is called "Chunjie" or Lunar New Year and is celebrated for two weeks. Red is all over the place these days. This is connected with a legend according to which, in ancient times, the inhabitants of the country were terrorized by a mythical monster that roamed cities and villages on New Year's Eve and killed people. Once a monster met a child in red clothes, got scared of him and ran away. Since then, it has been customary to decorate everything in red for the new year to drive away the beast.
