Ox Chinese New Year

Hi everyone,

Happy Chinese new year :)

I’m not going to write a long post for now. Just a quick highlight on some popular Chinese New Year greetings.

I want to write this because sometimes people just say the greetings without really knowing the meanings. For example, some people think “Gong Xi Fa Cai” means “Happy New Year.” Well, it’s not. Check these out.
