New Year is a holiday celebrated by many peoples of the world. Not in all countries they meet him on the night of January 1, but everywhere they love and appreciate him. Already from the first days of December in all villages and cities there is a feeling of the approach of this winter celebration, which is considered the main holiday of the year. This is a day off, which in Russia also marks the beginning of a common, rather long, vacation. Traditionally, it is celebrated at home, next to the closest people, the holiday is considered a family holiday.
history of the holiday
On the night of December 31 to January 1, the New Year is not celebrated in all countries of the world. Very often, the main winter holiday is Christmas, and New Year's celebrations either end the Christmas period if Christmas is celebrated on December 25, or begin - in countries where Christmas is celebrated on January 7. In most countries of Southeast Asia, January 1 is an ordinary day, the new year is celebrated there according to the lunar calendar, and in Israel, the main New Year festivities take place in September, when Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated. No celebrations in new year's eve in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Iran, India, China, Saudi Arabia.
New Year is one of the main holidays of mankind, which can rightfully be considered one of the first to appear. It was celebrated as early as the third millennium BC in Mesopotamia. Historians assure that the holiday is even more ancient, this tradition is not less than five thousand years old. The ancient Egyptians celebrated it in a manner similar to modern day celebrations, with nightly festivities. Their New Year came in September, when the Nile flooded, which was an extremely important event. On January 1, Julius Caesar began to celebrate the holiday, he also established the custom of decorating houses.
In Russia, it was celebrated for a long time in spring and autumn, until Peter I postponed the celebration to early January. It is curious that in all Christian countries the New Year is a somewhat minor holiday compared to Christmas. In our country, this celebration is considered the main one for the reason that under the Soviet regime it was strictly forbidden to celebrate all church events.
Eastern culture and Chinese traditions have taken root in our country. Everyday life have become our habits and traditions. Today, many people have begun to celebrate the New Year in an oriental way, while others, although they do not celebrate, but which animal corresponds to each coming year, they track anyway.
The Eastern calendar is based on the Chinese time reckoning, according to which each animal has a repetition cycle of 12 years. That is, the outgoing year of the Dog will next come in: 2018 + 12 = 2030.
The onset of the Year of the Pig 2019 will be determined by the lunar calendar
There are 12 animals in the Chinese calendar. The cycle begins with the year of the Rat, then the year of the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit or Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and the year of the Pig closes.From which animal corresponds to a particular period, they determine what tests or surprises to expect in the near future. The Chinese calendar prescribes which of the undertakings can be successful, and which should not be done during this period. In addition, the totem animal will “tell you” in choosing the right time for a special occasion. important event. It can be a wedding day, the day of conception of a child, buying a house, vacation abroad, some serious projects, etc.
In our country, as in most other countries, it is customary to celebrate the New Year on the last day of the outgoing year and on the first night of the year following it. But for the Chinese, this is not the case at all. Chinese New Year is not a fixed date, it is associated with lunar calendar, and this is the second new moon after December 21st.
The holiday can fall on one of the days, starting from January 21 and ending on February 20. For the Chinese, the cycle change is celebrated not for one night, but for 2 whole weeks, and completes the celebration of the traditional Lantern Festival.
New Year of the Pig in 2019 in China is associated with the rotation of Jupiter around the Sun
The upcoming New Year 2019 is the last in a cycle of 12 years, during which Jupiter turns around the Sun once. The patron of 2019 is the Boar (or Pig). The Chinese also endow the totem animal with elements and color, and therefore 2019 will be the year of the Yellow Earth Pig.All the characteristics of the year together and affect which undertakings will be successful in the New Year, and which ones are better to wait until next year. The totem will also prompt with behavior to maximize its potential, and sharp corners will help to get around.
Thanks to this totem animal, it will be possible to sum up all the actions performed in the lunisolar cycle and understand what the direction should be for the next 12 years of the cycle. The pig for the Chinese calendar is balance, patience and diligence, and therefore it is precisely these qualities of people that will help them achieve success in the coming year.
Celebrate the Year of the Pig 2019 according to the Chinese calendar according to certain rules
Due to the fact that our and Chinese time reckoning does not coincide, it turns out that the hostess of 2018, the Dog, remains the animal patron throughout January. And the Yellow Pig will come into its own only on 02/05/2019. On this night, Jupiter begins a new cycle of revolution around the daylight.On the night of February 5, all over the world, people who adhere to the traditions of the East will celebrate the arrival of the New Year 2019. In accordance with the elements of the totem animal and its color, the rules for holding the holiday are also determined. They should be observed, and then the whole year the totem animal Yellow Earth Pig will patronize the person and help him in everything.
The rules for celebrating the New Year 2019 according to the Eastern calendar are as follows:
The color of the clothes should be yellow or any shade of brown, you can also choose green.
With finances, there will be complete order if you put a bill under the New Year tree, the denomination of which should be high.
Pork on New Year's table it is better not to put, any other meat is allowed. The pig will be glad to have an abundance of fruits on the table, greens and vegetables.
In accordance with Eastern calendar, 2019 is the last year in a series of upheavals and changes. Further, stability and constancy await people, and in this regard, the family created in 2019 will turn out to be strong, the new place of work will be stable and well paid, and the child born in 2019 will love work, always achieve his goal, and in a stressful situation will be morally stable.

Brought greetings from the forest
And from whom - find out for yourself.
(Toys in the bag: squirrel, wolf, hedgehog, fox, owl).
Fast little animal
Jumping through the trees. (Squirrel)
Who is cold in winter
An angry, hungry walks in the forest? (Wolf)
Under the bushes, under the trees
A ball of needles rolls
Uphill - running, downhill - somersault. (Hedgehog)
Cunning cheat

Fluffy tail - beauty,
And her name is ... (Fox)
Lives in the forest, sleeps during the day,
Flying at night
He hoots and scares everyone. (Owl)
Well done!
What is it
Flying in the air?
Melting in the palm of your hand
Lighter than fluff
Asterisks - ... (Snowflakes)
Correctly.
Snow Maiden: Where are my snowflakes?
Snowflakes:
We are snowflakes
We are fluff
We start a round dance.
The Snow Maiden came to visit us,
Santa Claus is coming soon.
This meeting, this evening
The kids have been waiting all year!
The dance of the snowflakes. (Primary School)
Snow Maiden: Well done! Guys, what fun do you have in winter? (Sled, skis...). Do you make a snowman?
Me: Yes, and we just have a little surprise for you, Snow Maiden. (The poem "Snow Woman").
Guys, where is Santa Claus? He's been gone for a long time.
Phone call.
Snow Maiden: Hello! Hello grandfather! Where are you? How do you sit under the tree? How are the slippers? Where are your boots? Who stole? Baba Yaga and Leshy? Don't worry, we'll figure something out!
Snow Maiden: Guys, what to do? Who will help us?
(Knock on the door. The fortune-teller enters (music by Bulanova).
Fortune teller: I am a fortune teller. Hello. And who wants to know their fate? What happened, what will happen, I will tell the whole truth, I will not deceive anyone. To begin with, I will tell fortunes to you by the hand.
Look closely at your palms (pause). If you see extra lines on them, then you haven’t washed your hands for a long time. Too thick lines on your hands indicate very good nutrition. If you didn’t find a single line on your hand (pause), then you forgot to take off your mittens.
Now look at your feet (pause). A lone shoe on the left foot suggests some absent-mindedness. Yellow boots with green polka dots indicate discriminating taste. Now take a close look at the necks of your neighbors. Soaped neck promises to improve soon. Now I will guess what your name is. He approaches some mother and asks her name.
Fortuneteller: /I. O. / name (pause) / I. O./.
And now, who is brave, let's tell fortunes, pull out the papers and read the wishes.
(Parents read wishes aloud. The fortune teller tells the horoscope)
Snow Maiden: Fortune teller, honey, that's all well and good, but we need you to help find Santa Claus.
A fortune teller reads cards.
Fortuneteller: Oh, he is lonely, poor, cold. But I can't see the place well. Blizzard, blizzard. But I see that someone is coming to visit us. I’d better move away, and I advise you, Snow Maiden.
Baba Yaga runs in to the song "And I'm a little abomination."
Baba Yaga: Hello, did you recognize me? Yes, I am Grandmother-Yagusechka (oh, sciatica).
Me: Baba Yaga, why are you ruining our holiday? Why did you take boots from Santa Claus?
Baba Yaga: But what a beauty I am in them!
Me: Baba Yaga, where is Leshy?
Baba Yaga: Yes, here he is rushing.
To the song of Leshy, Leshy runs in. Sings.
Leshy: Hello, I'm Leshy. Hello, grandma!
Baba Yaga: Leshenky, healthy! I look like? Am I good?
The song "You are not scary made up."
Baba Yaga: Oh, rude!
Goblin: Well, don't pout! Grandma, but the guys took us with you for their friends and are not afraid of us at all. Silly, gullible, smiling, but they themselves do not know that we ruined their holiday and Santa Claus will not come to them.
Me: What did you do?
Baba Yaga and Leshy: We stole his felt boots from him. He can’t come to your holiday in slippers! (Whispers).
Me: What are you whispering?
Goblin: We want to dance with the guys. If you dance well, maybe we'll give you boots.
Me: What do you want to dance?
Goblin: My favorite dance.
(Dance for all beginners “If you like…”.)
Me: Well, how did you like it?
Goblin: Yes, we danced well, but we won't give away the felt boots.
Baba Yaga: And now - my favorite dance. I forgot what it's called. Well, here's what ... (grabs the lower back). Well, a bird dance, chicken, no, goose, but, I remembered - duck.
Me: Yes, not a duck, but a dance of little ducklings.
Me: Did you like it?
Baba Yaga: I liked it, but I won’t give up boots.
Me: Do you know how to dance?
Baba Yaga: Oh, I am the best dancer and singer in the world.
Dancing, holding on to the waist
Baba Yaga:
Well, clap me!
I didn't want to dance
Standing and shy
And the harmonica played
I couldn't resist.
I danced with three legs
Lost my boots
looked back,
My boots are on.
Hedgehog sits on a birch
White shirt,
On the head - a boot,
On the leg is a cap.
There is a cart on the mountain
Tears drip from the arc.
There is a cow under the mountain
Puts on boots.
If there were no water
There would be no mug
If it wasn't for me
Who would sing ditties?
Baba Yaga: Guess the riddles - I will give the boots, so I decided (just answer all together).
wiggles ears,
Jumping under the bushes
gray coward,
Call him ... (Bunny)
Baba Yaga: Well, not very well.
Near the Christmas tree in every house
Children lead a round dance.
What is the name of this holiday?
Answer ... (New Year)
Me: You guessed it, give me the boots!
Baba Yaga: No, now guess for me!
Me: What if you don't?
Baba Yaga: There is no such riddle that I would not guess!
Me: And if you don’t guess, will you give me boots?
Baba Yaga: Yes.
Goblin: Yeah, trust her more. Lie - will not take expensive.
Baba Yaga: Don't go!
Me: Ok, listen.
He is a fun toy
In a cap and with a rattle,
And his name is...
Baba Yaga: Cheesecake!
Me not!
Baba Yaga: I know, I know, "frog"!
Me not!
Guys: Parsley!
Me: That's it, Baba Yaga, give me the felt boots.
Baba Yaga: No, no!
Me: You gave your word.
Baba Yaga: Honestly - ready to lie! I am the master of my word. I gave my word, and I took it back. Make me laugh!
Me: Okay, look!
Baba Yaga: Oh, you can laugh!
Me: Give me boots!
Baba Yaga: I won't give it back! I like you very much!
Goblin: Listen, grandmother, do you even know what everyone calls you?
Baba Yaga: How?
Goblin:
Old woman - beef,
Vredina - greedy.
No, I messed up:
Greedy - harmful,
Beef is a pickle.
No, it's not like that again.
Grandma - yaguska,
Vredina - picky,
Greedy,
Yabed - snag!
Here!
Baba Yaga: Rude!
Me: Goblin, you keep swearing at Baba Yaga, but yourself? Do you want to stay with us for the holiday?
Leshy: Yes!
Me: Then help us, persuade Baba Yaga to give the felt boots.
Goblin: Okay, but I have a condition.
Me: What?
Goblin: You are all so cute and pretty here. Do you have any robbers? Any pirates? Any rude ones? Everything will be easier on the heart.
Me: Guys, let's pretend to become artists for 5 minutes and outwit Leshy.
(Dance of the Pirates)
Goblin: That's a different conversation! Grandma, okay, let's give the felt boots.
Baba Yaga: no, no, no!
Me: Guys, let's kindly ask: “Granny Yagusechka, please give me boots!”
Baba Yaga (cries).
Me: What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?
Baba Yaga: For joy. I have lived for three hundred years - I have not heard a kind word. Everything is a grandmother, yes Yaga. Children tease: "Hedgehog-potato, bone leg." And you are so polite: "Grandma, please." Here are your boots, take them to Santa Claus, and I'll drag myself into the forest, I'm ashamed that I wanted to prevent you from celebrating the New Year.
Goblin: Listen, grandmother, do you remember under what tree we left Grandfather?
Baba Yaga: No, I have sclerosis.
Goblin: Where is my brilliant detective? (Claps hands 3 times.)
(Dance of detectives)
Goblin: Go to the forest, find Santa Claus, give him boots and bring him here.
Detective: Will be done.
(Baba Yaga takes off her boots).
Baba Yaga: Will I be barefoot? I have sciatica and rheumatism.
Me: Here are your slippers, put them on.
Baba Yaga: My favorite size. And then you take them away?
Me: No, we'll give them to you.
Baba Yaga: Oh, thank you!
Me: Well, sit down, Baba Yaga and Leshy, we will wait for Santa Claus. Snow Maiden, call Grandpa.
Snow Maiden (calls on the phone): Grandpa, where are you? Already entered the school? Already around class? Are you already at the door?
Me: Santa Claus, Santa Claus!
Santa Claus: Ay, ay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y!
Santa Claus: Oh, hello guys! Hello granddaughter! Hello parents! (greets all the children) I saw Leshy and Baba Yaga.
Santa Claus: Oh, and you're here?! I'll freeze you! (Goblin and Baba Yaga close)
Snow Maiden: No, grandfather, they promised to behave well.

Children come out, tell poems about winter ...
Song (all together) "The clock strikes ..."
(source-internet)
In 2020, according to the eastern calendar, the year of the Rat begins, which begins a new twelve-year cycle. Many are interested in when this will happen: with the first strikes of the chimes or in the East do people celebrate the New Year in a different way?
Chinese New Year
When 2020 officially comes around the world, the Celestial Empire will only prepare for this holiday. In the East, it is called Chun Jie, which means "spring festival" and symbolizes the awakening of nature. Most people in China still live by agricultural labor, so the lunar calendar is very important to them.
Each year according to the eastern calendar is associated with some kind of animal. There are 12 in total. The date of the change of the year depends on the phase of the moon: Chun Jie occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice (January 21 - February 21).
Eastern zodiac
Time reckoning in the Chinese tradition is based on the division of the entire universe into five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and the allocation of 12 sacred animals (rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and a pig). In 2020, the year of the Rat is coming, the most cunning animal, according to the legend of the ancient Chinese. According to this zodiac, they live not only in the Celestial Empire, but also in the Land of the Rising Sun, Mongolia, Korea, and Vietnam.
The complete cycle of the eastern zodiac is 60 years. Every 12 years, the owner of the year is replaced, which passes from one element to another. In 2020, the cycle started in 1984, led by the Wood Rat, will continue. The elements change every two years. In 2020, the era of metal begins.
There are three versions of how the animals were chosen:
- The Jade Emperor, who rules in heaven, once wished to meet 12 of the most interesting animals living on earth. His assistant chose a rat, which he instructed to send an invitation to heaven to a cat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, and a dog. The rat completed the task, but deceived the cat, considering him a contender for his place. The emperor, seeing 11 animals, became angry and ordered to bring another one, which would be the first one that his servant would come across on earth. It turned out to be a Pig.
- The Buddha invited 12 animals to the Chun Ze festival. As the guests appeared, the Buddha gave each a year of reign. There was a cat among the animals, but there was no rabbit.
- All the animals living on earth were supposed to come to say goodbye to the Buddha. Only 12 of them came, and they were appointed guardians.
Comparing these legends, the Eastern sages came to the conclusion that it is necessary to combine the year of the cat and the rabbit.
When is 2020 according to the Chinese calendar?
A new twelve-year cycle will begin on January 25th. It is on this day that 4718 will be celebrated in the East. Its symbol will be the White Metal Rat. To find out what the 12 months will be like, it is important to consider the color of the year, its element and patron.
The element and color are determined by the last digits of the year, but not the eastern, but the Gregorian:
- 4 and 5 - the element Wood, the color is blue and green;
- 6 and 7 - the element of Fire, the color is pink and red;
- 8 and 9 - the elements of the Earth, the color is yellow and ocher;
- 0 and 1 - element Metal, color white;
- 2 and 3 - the element Water, the color is black and blue.
2020 will start in the East on January 25th and the celebrations will last for 15 days. And before that, there will be careful preparation. It is especially important in the days after the winter solstice. Until the second new moon, the monster Nian (literally, the Year) rules, which does not want to let go of the outgoing owner and seeks to destroy everything around. But Nian does not like beauty, so the more elegant the house is, the more his monster will be afraid.
The Mistress of 2020, the White Metal Rat, is an ambitious animal with a sense of purpose. The year promises to be eventful, you won't have to relax. With effort, you can expect good results from the Rat.
Traditions and rituals
Whatever the color of the year, in China, all decorations are traditionally red. According to legend, once Nian was very frightened of a child in red clothes, so he immediately left the residents alone. The second tradition is the cleansing of the home and soul. Third - festive table. Among the treats, there must be jiaozi (outwardly reminiscent of dumplings) as a wish for the birth and well-being of sons. So that there is always prosperity in the house, a dish with tangerines and oranges is placed on the table.
Every day has its own traditions:
- On the night of the celebration, the whole family gathers together. It is good when several generations sit at the same table. At night, the house should have a lot of light and decorations. When the year 2020 arrives according to the Eastern calendar, thousands of fireworks will fly into the sky as a greeting to the Rat.
- The second day is the day of the son-in-law. It is customary to visit each other, visit distant relatives.
- The third day is the day of sacrifice. It is customary to make figures out of paper and then burn them.
- From the fourth to the sixth day they meet Chun Jie with friends.
- The seventh and eighth days are spent in a quiet family circle, without noise and fun.
- The ninth day is the day of memory of ancestors. The number 9 is symbolic here, which in the Christian tradition is also associated with remembrance.
- After 10 days, they prepare for the Lantern Festival, which completes the New Year's Eve. Lanterns light the way for the departing symbol and the souls of the dead to heaven.
