There are various myths, traditions and stories about Chinese New Year. Last time, I went to see one of my friends who were talking about the story behind the Chinese Year, which made me interested in listening too, but due to some compulsion, I couldn’t hear the complete tale. It has created some doubts in my mind and I think it cannot be a true story, but a myth indeed. Can you please help me relate the story, so that I can get to know the story and prediction of the Chinese New Year? My basic question is to get to know the alternate name for Chinese New Year. Your valuable help may add to my knowledge and I’ll appreciate your efforts. Please try relating the other name of Chinese New Year. Thanks!

According to a variety of stories, traditions and myths, there is a common folk-tale that interprets how every animal was allotted to its year. Ultimately, a racing competition was organized and all the animals were gathered at a place. As the rat was the little of all animal and he knew that there is no possibility for him to win honestly. So, he managed to convince an ox to let him travel on the head. So, just before reaching their destination or to the winning point, the cunning rat leapt down and traversed the complete line as a winner. This is because the first year of Chinese calendar is dedicated to the rat in the cycle and the ox stood second, so the second year is famous for the ox. Well, another name for Chinese New Year is Spring Festival, which is also known as Lunar New Year. Similarly, some people are of the view that it is popular as gun, hay, fat, chow. I hope this information will help you get your answer well. Good luck!
