Here is a quote from: https://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/ChineseNewYear/ The Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China) in 2697 B.C. What is the animal sign for Chinese New Year 2025? 2025 is the year of the Green Wood Snake. 2025 Chinese New Year Day is on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, in the China time zone. The Chinese New Year's Eve is on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. They are national holidays in China. Usually, the New Year holiday is at least five days long from Chinese New Year's eve. Plus Saturday and Sunday, the legal holiday could expand to seven days long. How old is China? What is the lunar new year 2025? China will be 4722 years old on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. This is because that the Yellow King, the first king of China, was inaugurated in 2697 B.C. The first day of Chinese Spring is on February 3, 2025. This date is called Li-Chun 立春, which means the start of Spring. Chinese New Year Day usually is around the first day of Spring. Therefore the Chinese New Year holiday is also called Spring Festival 春節. Chinese New Year Day is the new moon date of the first lunar month. It's from the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The first day of spring is the first day of Tiger month. This date is the first day of the Chinese Astrological Year. This is from the Chinese Astrology Calendar, which is the calendar of Chinese Zodiac Signs. 2025 is the year of the Green Snake.

The Empty Pot The Chinese Emperor announces an unusual test to choose an heir—the child who raises the best flowers from a seed given by the Emperor will be his successor. Ping, unaccountably, is unable to get his seed to sprout—but Ping’s empty pot is best of all.
