Enriching Education: Lunar New Year

While 2017 has begun, Jan. 28 marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year. As we approach the date, Minnesota-based creative agency TREAT & COMPANY is celebrating the Year of the Rooster by creating unique 3D printed, hand-painted Fire Rooster Toke n Pins. They have some fun facts about the Year of the Rooster to share.

Fun Facts: 

·       The fire rooster is said to spark honesty, loyalty, wisdom and fortitude. 

·       Lunar New Year is the first day of a secular, sacred or other guise who months are coordinated by the cycles of the moon.

·       According to legend, people born in each animal’s year have some of that animal’s personality traits.

·       It is a holiday celebrated by 1/5 of the world’s population. Schools in China get a month off and universities even more.
