ORLANDO, FL -- Chinese New Year is the most important of all traditional Chinese holidays.
It is often called the Lunar New Year because it is determined by the lunar calendar and falls anywhere between late January and mid February. This year, it falls on January 23, 2012.
The origins of this holiday date back to 2600 B.C. when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac based on ancient legend.
When Lord Buddha summoned all animals to bid him farewell before he departed the Earth, only twelve animals came. As a reward, he named a year after each one and proclaimed that people born in each animals' year would possess some of that animals personality. 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, and is the most vital and powerful of any in the Chinese Zodiac.
Dragon people are imaginative, always able to see new paths and will take a radical approach. Dragons are innovative, inspiring, self assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered.
People born in Dragon years (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) find pleasure in helping others, and you can always count on their help.
Some famous people born under the sign include Joan of Arc (lower right photo), Susan B. Anthony, Florence Nightingale (middle left photo), John Lennon (top right photo) and Sigmund Freud.
