In the West, New Year is driven by the calendar andalways falls on January 1st. The Chinese New Year isdifferent. It’s determined by the lunar calendar that wasintroduced by Emperor Huang Ti in 2637 BC to identifythe first day of spring, a critical time for agriculture. Thisis why the Chinese New Year is also referred to as theSpring Festival.
The Spring Festival is celebrated roughly 45 days afterthe winter solstice. It occurs on the first new moon afterthe inception of spring; the midpoint between the wintersolstice (December 21 or 22) and the spring equinox(March 20 or 21). This results in a year-to-year variationthat means the Year of the Rabbit actually begins onFebruary 3, 2011.
2011 is ruled by the Rabbit.
The Rabbit is considered very fortunate—a graciouscharacter that would appreciate receiving either of thesebeautiful coins as a gift.
