2018 Lunar New Year of The Dog
Lunar New Year of Earth Dog Were you born during The Year of the Dog?
Where is the Year of the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac?
In the last 100 years, the Year of the Dog has fallen in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018.
It is the eleventh sign of the Chinese Zodiac which completes its cycle every 12 years. Other signs include the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, rooster, pig and monkey.
If you were born in the Year of the Dog, what kind of person are you? In Chinese astrology, dogs are sympathetic and intelligent. A person born in the Year of the Dog has a binary approach to life and his relationships with others. If you benefit from his friendship or his love, a Dog will never disappoint you. Clearly preferring the countryside to the city, the Dog is not a great traveler like the Horse, and he prefers above all to take care of his home. Honest, faithful and jealous, the Dog is also irascible in nature whenever he lets himself be won over by anguish and pessimism, or when his habits are upset. Not loving solitude, seeking safety above all, the Dog is the most conservative and traditionalist of all the signs of the Chinese zodiac. In the professional world, the Dog is often a lawyer, judge, police officer, teacher, educator, priest, doctor, trade unionist, leftwing politician, secret agent, philosopher, critic or writer.
Is there only one type of Dog year? No, there are five types of dogs, each with different characteristics. As well as having a Chinese zodiac sign, according to Chinese element theory each year is associated with one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire or Earth.
What does this year say about luck? According to the 2018 Chinese horoscope, the Year of the Earth Dog 2018 is an opportunity for the Dog to consolidate his achievements and to renew his motivation. In 2018, happiness is at the door of the Dog, and he only needs to reach out to grasp it.
Score of the Year of the Earth Dog 2018 for the Dog: 8/10
Chinese New Year 2018’s resolution for the Dog: “A New Start”
Love, Dating & Birth For the single Dog, it’s high time to renew his wardrobe, because opportunities of gallant appointments aren’t going to be scarce during the Year of the Earth Dog. However, it’s necessary for the Dog to avoid revealing too quickly his altruism and natural kindness. The single Dog who finds a partner among Tigers, Horses or Rabbits is likely to wear an engagement ring on his ring finger before the end of 2018. The Year of the Earth Dog 2018 is indeed highly conducive period to betrothal and marriage.
Earth Dog’s colors of the Year 2018: Red, Apple Green, Sky Blue
From the 2018 Chinese New Year onwards, the romantic situation of the Dog in couple is slightly different. Indeed, since this is the beginning of a new cycle for Dogs, couples can be weakened by quarrels. Misunderstandings of the past could resurface, which could either result in renewed serenity and a redoubled love after some explanations have taken place, or on the contrary, lead to a total blow in the relationship, which may lead to divorce. On the contrary, the Dog in couple whose love relationship is already flourishing, can expect the couple’s ties to be strengthened even more.
The coming birth of a child in 2018 can be projected for the second half of the year. It’s also best for the Dog to pay attention to the compatibility of his partner with the sign of the Pig (2019 is the Year of the Earth Pig). For example, if the partner of the Dog is of the sign of the Snake, it’s necessary to wait until 2020 or even better until 2021, which is the Year of the Metal Ox.
Work and Social Life The Dog’s business is doing well in 2018, just as he can expect to win a lawsuit or succeed in a contest or exam he’s been preparing for a long time. However, without becoming rich as Croesus, as the Dog shall be at the height of his capacity during the Year of the Earth Dog 2018, he should be able to serenely consolidate his place in society during this period. But one must remain cautious: it’s ill advised for the Dog in 2018 to embark on new utopian projects, or engage in efforts well beyond his field of expertise. It’s better for him to choose professional paths where his experience and skill are paramount, or to content himself with collecting the fruits of his past investments. The Dog must also be careful to preserve a track of all his professional exchanges, especially Emails, in order to prevent himself from any future difficulties.

8 Lucky Foods for Lunar New Year It’s tradition across most of Asia to hold a lavish feast to celebrate the lunar new year, which falls this year on February 16. In China, festive red lanterns, ear-splitting firecrackers, auspicious door decorations, and new clothes and haircuts are all part of the celebrations as families gather the evening before to see out the old year and usher in the new. For many, though, enjoying a special meal with loved ones is the most important element of all. With multiple courses and an abundance of special-occasion foods, sweets, treats, and extravagant dishes, the feast differs according to each family’s customs and the local cuisine. But one certainty is that the meal will be heavy on foods with a symbolic significance, cooked and served to bring good fortune to the year ahead. If you’re looking for a positive start to the Chinese New Year, these classic dishes will be sure to bring you daji dali—good luck and great prosperity.
to buy dumpling skins from the local noodle shop, where round and square wrappers alike are sold by weight. Just as dumpling wrappers vary greatly from home to home, virtually everyone has their own recipe for the filling, or jiaozi xian. Ground pork is the most popular ingredient, often blended with shrimp, savory Shaoxing wine, white pepper, and piquant ginger; it can also be mixed with white cabbage, sesame oil, soy sauce, and scallions. For the small but growing number of vegetarians in China, a combination of finely chopped Chinese white radish, leeks, fivespice tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and cooked glass noodles makes a rich and colorful alternative filling. Once filled and pleated, the dumplings are boiled for just a few minutes, until cooked through, or steamed and/or pan-fried as potstickers (guotie). Any leftovers are typically frozen and kept in reserve for family and friends who might visit over the festive period. Dropped, still frozen, into the endlessly boiling pot on the stove, the jiaozi are transformed into a meal in about 10 minutes. On a cold night, there’s nothing that quite matches a bowl of dumplings, the steam rising as you dip them in dark, malty Zhenjiang vinegar or smoky, chili-laced Shanxi aged vinegar, and slurp them down.
eating, in which meat and seafood are used much more sparingly. A whole fish lends an impressive appearance to the dinner table, but fish is also symbolic of abundance. The Chinese phrase you yu, literally “to have fish,” is a pair of homophones: yu, meaning “fish,” sounds exactly the same as you, meaning “surplus.” As you eat the fish, you may therefore wish your friends niannian youyu— may you have abundance year after year! The fish is usually steamed whole in a style commensurate with the region of China in which it’s being served. In Hangzhou, it might be xi hu cu yu (West Lake vinegar fish), carp that’s steamed and then drenched in an unctuous sweet vinegar sauce the color of molasses. In southern China’s Guangdong Province, the fish may be served simply, drizzled with soy and sesame oil and topped with a tangle of ginger, chili, and shallots, or with a more intensely flavorful topping of ginger, black beans, and cilantro. The fish might even be deep-fried whole, like the extraordinary Suzhou squirrel fish (songshu yu)—served in a sweetsour sauce, with the flesh cut in such a way that it springs outward like the fur of a squirrel when cooked, while the head and tail are left intact.
Jiaozi (Dumplings) In winter, a steaming cauldron of boiling water sits on every stove, ready to cook jiaozi at a moment’s notice. Today, making dumplings together at Chinese New Year is a tradition shared by almost every Chinese family around the world, but the practice has its roots in China’s north, where the wheat used in the tender dumpling skins (jiaozi pi) was once a more commonplace staple than rice. For some, it’s a matter of principle to make and roll those dumpling wrappers by hand; for others, it’s the gesture that counts, so it’s not unusual
Lawei (Cured Meats) Dayu Darou (Whole Fish or Meat) The Lunar New Year meal will almost always include dayu darou— literally “big fish and big meat.” The phrase is used to describe any lavish feast where animal proteins play a central role, as opposed to day-to-day
In the winter streets all over China, flayed giant fish, ducks, and skeins of Chinese sausage hang from racks and poles, drying and curing in preparation for Chinese New Year, and echoing ancient sacrifices that took place in the dying days of the year after winter solstice. Historically, during layue, the 12th lunar month, yearend animal sacrifices of pigs, poultry, and fish were made to the gods.
All that was left after the gods were finished needed to be saved, leading to the development of techniques for meat-drying and preservation. Even in modern-day China, many families continue to prepare their own, hanging the meats from window ledges and washing lines like macabre New Year holiday decorations. The result is salt-cured, air-dried pork (larou) with the salty, funky intensity of the best Spanish hams; gamy, dense bites of preserved duck and chicken (and their hearts); and other rich sausages, all designed to be served and eaten as cold dishes, much like a French charcuterie plate.
Chun Juan (Spring Rolls) Spring rolls (chun juan) take their name from the holiday for which they’re traditionally prepared: the Spring Festival (chunjie), also known as Chinese New Year. The crisp golden rolls are meant to symbolize bars of gold and bring wealth and prosperity in the year to come. The wrappers, made from a hardy dough of wheat flour and water, hide a filling of shredded carrot, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, bean sprouts, and pork, doused with a sauce of Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, and ginger. Most spring rolls are deep-fried, for a crackling-crunchy and piping-hot shell that surrounds the tender filling. In some places, though, you’ll find soft precooked pancake wrappers served separately from the filling, for each person to assemble and eat according to personal preference.
Changshou Mian (Longevity Noodles) The literal translation of changshou mian is “long-life noodles.”
Georgia Asian Times
The literal translation of changshou mian is “long-life noodles.” These twofoot-long noodles make an appearance at birthdays in addition to the Chinese New Year, representing the wish for a long, happy, and healthy life. The noodles may be served fried; with oyster sauce and finely sliced shiitake mushrooms and bok choy; or with bok choy in a simple broth that’s lightly seasoned with soy and ginger.
Good Fortune Fruit Because Chinese New Year always falls at the tail end of winter, the fruits available tend to be limited to those that thrive in colder months—namely, oranges, tangerines, kumquats, and pomelos. The fruits are given as gifts, their round shape and gold color said to symbolize prosperity and bring the recipient good fortune throughout the year. They might be presented still growing on a small tree, which can then be used to decorate the home, or given as part of a fruit basket and intended for eating over the festive period, usually at the end of the meal. The thin-skinned kumquats (jinju) are pleasantly sweet, with a slight tartness but no bitterness, and are eaten whole, skin included. Giant pomelos, on the other hand, are hard work to get into; peeling back the thick skin and removing the pith and tough integument of each segment requires strength and patience. But the globules within are a marvelous reward, little bursts of tart grapefruit sweetness with barely a hint of bitterness.

Babao Fan (Eight Treasures Rice) This sweet sticky-rice pudding symbolizes great fortune (literally, the promise of eight treasures for the lucky eater). It’s a feast for the eyes, studded with fruits and nuts and drenched in a glistening sugar syrup. The exact combination of eight treasures isn’t set in stone, but the pudding usually includes an assortment of lotus seeds, almond kernels, jujubes, candied fruits, dried longans, dried plums, red bean paste, gingko seeds, apricot kernels, and goji berries. The construction of the pudding is an exercise in focus and care. The cook begins by placing fruits and seeds in a pattern along the inside of a bowl, then adds a layer of cooked glutinous rice that’s been moistened with butter and sweetened with sugar. Next, a circle of fruit is placed around the edge of the bowl, topped with a second, gently arranged layer of rice. A circle of sweet red bean paste follows, smaller than the bowl’s diameter, and is topped with a final covering of rice. Once the bowl has been steamed and cooled, the cook turns it out onto a plate, revealing (if all goes well) a bright, precise mosaic of fruits and nuts that sparkle beneath the sweet syrup poured liberally over the top.
Tang Yuan (Glutinous-Rice Balls in Sweet Syrup) These small, delightfully gummy rice balls, formed with glutinous-rice flour and water, are served as symbols of togetherness and family reunion. The spheres themselves are relatively bland, but they’re almost always served in a seasoned broth—typically a sweet, syrupy soup that’s sometimes flavored with sweet fermented rice and aromatic dried guihua (osmanthus) blossoms. In many parts of China, tang yuan are eaten at the start of the Lantern Fes
tival, marking the end of the Chinese New Year period, but in Shanghai and the south, they’re eaten throughout the New Year festivities. The glutinous-rice balls might be plain and the size of a small marble, or larger and stuffed with sweet black sesame paste. In all cases, they’re plump and pleasantly chewy, yielding easily to the bite, and considered a comforting dessert on cold nights when served in their warm, sweet broth.

2018 Lunar New Year of The Dog
Traditions of Lunar New Year Lunar New Year is one of the biggest — not to mention most spectacular — celebrations in the world. But how much do you know about it? Well, according to the Chinese zodiac’s 12-year cycle, each Lunar New Year is related to an animal. This year is the Year of the Dog and as celebrations begin February 16, Georgia Asian Times is sharing with you the top 10 traditions about Lunar New Year and they still exist in the world today. Things should be done during the festival can be familiar with most of you, such as wearing articles of red clothes as red symbolizes luck, and giving out red pockets to children with the meaning of passing luck to the next generation. Let’s find out more interesting and worth-noticing traditions, especially those things that you should avoid doing during Lunar New Year! 1. Avoid saying the number “four” You may have noticed of the unbelievable number of Chinese words. Undoubtedly, there are words with similar or even the same sound can be easily found, namely the number “four” has the Chinese homonym for death. Hence, people will avoid saying “four” during Lunar New Year. 2. No lending and borrowing Clearing all debts should be one of the big wishes to most of the people and probably the countries over the world. Since no one wishes to be in debt over the year, any leading or borrowing should be prevented. 3. Enjoy every gathering meals, except having porridge Some families are under sever financial problems that rice is more like a luxury than a necessity. Cooking porridge instead of steamed rice can help relieve the expense on food without facing the issue of starvation. Therefore, porridge symbolizes the image of poverty, which people will avoid eating it during the festival in order to prevent poverty. 4. No hair washing on the first day The Chinese word “hair” has the same pronunciation as “fortune”; therefore, washing hair symbolizes washing away the fortune. If you would like to keep or become wealthy, it’d be better not to wash your hair on the first day of lunar year. 5. No hospital visit People believe that visiting the hospital will get the visitors ill for a whole year. Therefore, hospitality visit should be avoided during Lunar New Year to wish for health throughout the year. 6. No floor sweeping and garbage throwing on the second day As the first day welcomes good luck and fortune into the house, sweeping floor and throwing garbage away signify dumping wealth out of the house. 7. Stay away from sharp and edge tools on the first day Sharp and edged tools like scissors and knifes should be kept away from you
as they could lead to accidents, which would bring you inauspicious things in the coming year. 8. No new shoes purchase People normally buy new clothes and new shoes to celebrate Lunar New Year. However, buying shoes during Lunar New Year should be avoided. As the pronunciation of “shoes” in Chinese language is similar to sighing, people think that an act of buying shoes will bring them bad luck. 9. Keep your black and white clothing in the wardrobe Black and white clothing is easily associated with funeral and mourning. People think wearing in black and white symbolizes tragedy and bad luck. People normally put on colorful clothes, especially in red, during Lunar New Year that express happiness and joy. 10. No killing Killing of animals should be abstained as the presence of blood represents illness. It will also bring accidents or bloody disaster by seeing blood during Lunar New Year. After knowing the above 10 taboos, keep them in mind and enjoy your Lunar New Year! Wish you a wonderful “Dog” year!
