The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year Celebration, falls on Feb. 3 this year, and is the most important traditional Chinese festival of the year. Chinese New Year 4709, or 2011 in the Western calendar, is the Year of the Metal Rabbit and is traditionally associated with home and family, artistic pursuits, diplomacy, and keeping the peace. Therefore, 2011 is very likely to be a relatively calmer one than 2010 both on the world scene, as well as on a personal level.
