On January 25, 2020 we start the Chinese Year of the White Metal Rat.
The Rat is first in the order of all the Chinese zodiac animals. According to one folktale, the Jade Emperor decided that the order of the animals would be determined according to the order by which they arrived at his party. Rat cleverly convinced the Ox to give him a ride. Just as the pair arrived at the door, the Rat jumped ahead and landed before the Ox.
Not only clever and inventive, rats are also seen as symbols of wealth and surplus. Because of their fast rate of reproduction, couples who wanted to be blessed with children prayed to them.
The Chinese New Year day is traditionally viewed as a solemn day to pray to the gods for a good planting season and a bountiful harvest.
You are not allowed to take a shower on New Year’s Day. You are also prohibited from cleaning the floor or taking out trash until the 5th. In Chinese culture, these actions are equivalent to sweeping away good luck.
