THE YEAR OF THE OX
_Staff Report_
The Chinese New Year is based on the lunisolar calendar, and so it varies on an annual basis on the Gregorian calendar. This year the Chinese New Year begins on the 25th of January 2020. The years on the Chinese calendar are divided into12-year cycles, which means that the next Year of the Rat will occur in 12 years’ time. There are twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac calendar and the rat is the first one in it, while the pig, the sign for 2019, was the twelfth. The rat is regarded as a symbol of fertility, adaptability, intelligence and wealth. The myth is that the Jade Emperor had a race of thirteen animals and the rat sat on an ox and near the end of the race, jumped off the ox and made a dash to the finishing line, beating all the others. The pig had stopped for a snack and a snooze, so it came last, while the cat drowned, hence there are twelve animal signs in the Chinese calendar. The celebrations of the Chinese New Year last for two weeks and will end with the Lantern Festival on the 8th of February. It is also known as the Spring Festival. Homes are cleaned thoroughly and red lanterns and other decorations in red put up because the red color is supposed to bring good fortune. On the New Year’s Eve a family dinner is held, mostly of dumplings and fish, and children are given money in red envelopes. After midnight there are fireworks, to banish evil. Certain superstitions are attached to the start of the Chinese New Year. One the first day people are supposed to avoid doing laundry, cleaning the floor or using scissors, as these activities are supposed to bring all sorts of bad luck for the rest of the year. The largest mass migration takes place during this period, and this year three billion trips are expected during the Chinese New Year for family reunion. The economy comes to a standstill during this period. The fast expanding network of bullet trains in China has made travel easier and faster for the Chinese on their extensive mainland. Outside China, the New Year is celebrated with vigor in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand. In fact according to the China Travel Guide, one-sixth of the world’s population celebrates the Chinese New Year.

As February began, so did the celebrations for the Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival as it is often called. Starting from February 12th, 2021, the Lunar Year will last until February 1st, 2022. This year marks the year of the Ox, and celebrations will last for the next two weeks. This holiday marks great celebration, and family reunions not just in Mainland China but also in other East Asian countries, and Chinese communities of the West. Chinese astrology, unlike the Gregorian, is based on a twelve-year lunar cycle that originated 3500 years ago. It also marks the coming of the Spring and was seen as an opportunity to pray to the gods for a bountiful year. Since each year is represented by a certain animal, this becomes a person’s star sign, and its qualities become their attributes. Within this system, a person’s zodiac sign is determined by the year of their birth, and The Year of the Ox has previously taken place in 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009. This tradition of naming years after certain animals stems from several legends. The most popular one narrates that a Great Race took place among the animals who wished to guard the Jade Emperor who ruled over heaven. The order of the winners, and guardian animals were rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. According to the story, it was the Ox who arrived first to meet the Emperor. But because the Rat had climbed on his back for a ride, he jumped off and became the first of the zodiac animals. The people born under the year of the Ox are diligent, dependable, and intelligent hard workers who do not demand praise. People born in the year are considered to be lucky, strong-willed and earnest. However, their negative qualities include their inability to communicate, and the stubbornness with which they stick to their ways. 2021 is not just the Year of the Ox, but that of the Metal Ox! In Chinese astrology, each zodiac year is also associated with one of five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Together, the zodiac sign and the element determine how the year will turn out. The year of the Metal Ox signifies strength and movement, which will be incredibly important as the world grapples with the ongoing pandemic.In Focus

A MESSAGE FROM AMBASSADOR NONG RONG ON THE OCCASION OF THE CHINESE NEWYEAR
As the new year begins, let us also start anew. I’m delighted to extend, on behalf of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and in my own name, new year’s greeting and sincere wishes to YOULIN magazine’s staff and readers. Only in hard times can courage and perseverance be manifested. Only with courage can we live to the fullest. 2020 was an extraordinary year. Confronted by the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Pakistan supported each other and took on the challenge in solidarity. The ironclad China-Pakistan friendship grew stronger as time went by. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects advanced steadily in difficult times, become a standard-bearer project of the Belt and Road Initiative in balancing pandemic prevention and project achievement. The handling capacity of the Gwadar Port has continued to rise and Afghanistan transit trade through the port has officially been launched. The Karakoram Highway Phase II upgrade project is fully open to traffic. The Lahore Orange Line project has been put into operation. The construction of Matiari-Lahore HVDC project was fully completed. A batch of green and clean energy projects, such as the Kohala and Azad Pattan hydropower plants have been substantially promoted. Development agreement for the Rashakai SEZ has been signed. The China-Pakistan Community of Shared Future has become closer andcloser.
Reviewing the past and looking to the future, we are confident to write a brilliant new chapter. The year 2021 is the 100th birthday of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. The 100-year journey of CPC surges forward with great momentum and China-Pakistan relationship has flourished in the past 70 years. Standing at a new historic point, China is willing to work together with Pakistan to further implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, connect the CPEC cooperation with the vision of the “Naya Pakistan”, promote the long-term development of the China-Pakistan All-weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership with love, dedication and commitment. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan said, “We are going through fire. The sunshine has yet to come.” Yes, Pakistan’s best days are ahead, China will stand with Pakistan firmly all the way. YOULIN magazine is dedicated to promoting cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan and is a window for Pakistani friends to learn about China, especially the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is hoped that with the joint efforts of China and Pakistan, YOULIN can listen more to the voices of readers in China and Pakistan, better play its role as a bridge to promote more effectively people-to-peoplebond.
Last but not least, I would like to wish all the staff and readers of YOULIN a warm and prosper year in 2021. Nong Rong Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of The People’s Republic of China to the Islamic Republic of PakistanJanuary 2021
