Red according to Chinese traditions brings luck. Spruce up your soft furnishing with gold since gold symbolizes prosperity. Smart black trimmings here and there would add contrast and the Asian theme feel. A word of caution � stay away from white � white is believed to bring misfortune!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally it�s the time for accessories.

Chinese New Year : When is Chinese New Year 2014

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Chinese New Year in 2014 is on January 31st. Chinese New Year, which is also Spring Festival for the Chinese, is calculated in accordance to the luni-solar calendar. This makes the date corresponding to the modern day Gregorian calendar change each year.</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">According to Chinese calculations, New Year comes on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice that comes closest to li chun (beginning of spring) and falls on the 11th month of the Chinese calendar. However, in case there is a Leap Month after the 11th or 12th month of the Chinese calendar, the New Year commences with the third New Moon. </span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UmeJDFtWYm0/Usz3X1noLOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/PF2poSBAqH0/s1600/bigstock-New-Year-Card-With-Horse-49429037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Chinese New Year 2014" border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UmeJDFtWYm0/Usz3X1noLOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/PF2poSBAqH0/s1600/bigstock-New-Year-Card-With-Horse-49429037.jpg" title="Chinese New Year 2014" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chinese New Year 2014</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> In modern times, Chinese calendar calculations are based on 120 degrees East Meridian. </span><br /><a name="more"></a>The length of the months is astronomically calculated in keeping with the Chinese traditional calendar. Then the calculations are plotted against combination of two calendars � lunar and solar.<br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The solar New Year is known as Sui which has  duration from one December Solstice to the next; while Nian is the Chinese calendar that commences on one Chinese New Year and continues till the next. Final result is achieved after approximation of these two calendar systems. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chinese New Year celebrations last for fifteen days, each day having its own set of rituals, customs and traditions. </span></div>
