Anyone?


Pushy Spaghetti God. <_< ;) :P

According to Wiki:

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節; pinyin: Chūnjié), or the Lunar New Year (simplified Chinese: 农历新年; traditional Chinese: 農曆新年; pinyin: Nónglì xīnnián), is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is an important holiday in East Asia. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called the Lantern festival (simplified Chinese: 元宵节; traditional Chinese: 元宵節; pinyin: yuánxiāojié).

Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxì (除夕). Chu literally means "change" and xi means "Eve".


Did that help? ^__^
Cheers,

well in indonesia or a bigger region like south east asia there were a number of new year :

- a gregorian new year 1st january
- an islamic new year first ramadhan

and

a chinese new year

or maybe there is also a hindu new year etc.

i think it is only to describe WHAT new year is it.

i also think the chinese only called it spring festival.

I am currently a moderate for the voting purpose. However, I think I am more of a Confucianist kind of voter. My Confucianism ideas are based on Confucius himself and also Mengzi and not later interpretations of the Confucian scholars. I also prefer government officials to have knowledge and experiences in the areas of their responsibilities and not just someone who have donated money and then gotten certain titles.

Posted 10 January 2008 - 05:32 PM

haha, as I read the questions, I felt I had it coming...

Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.87

So I'm a harcore lefty (even though I usually vote rightwing), with a strong anarchist tendency (thus explaining my distaste for the CCP...). On their chart, that puts me somewhere in between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. I find this flattering!

Francois, we are in the same party! It came out -6-25 and -5.38 for me.

Well said, I agree.

Mok,
Congratulations for the poll. It is a good way of exploring a difficult and important subject which touches everyone. Luckily Shaolin oriented us to the Political Compass, and its results are coming out very interesting. In the attachment, please find a Compass chart pinpointing where the different answering members are. This, within the understanding that we all keep in Confucian Armony...

I think nowadays it is difficult for an individual to judge which political wings or factions they support...

Cuz it is not as clear as Left or right now...

Most people may support issues on both ends.....

This link may help you..Your political compass.............
