February 16, the New Year came on the Chinese lunisolar calendar. 

The symbol of the coming year is a yellow earth dog.

Astrologers expect that after two consecutive years with red, warlike symbols, 

2018 will direct the conflicts to a peaceful channel.

Chinese New Year has traditionally celebrated 15 days , starting with the launch of fireworks 

and ending with a lantern festival.
