Leap into Lunar New Year with Young Bloods
Hope you’re not committed to your sleep cycles. Join billions – literally billions – of people around the world and celebrate Lunar New Year’s Day! Well, days, since the actual celebration can last as long as 15 days!
And for strong, valuable, sentimental reasons. The holiday is rooted in culture, and an essential time for families to bond and reconnect.
New Year, New Beginnings
Ever heard of a thing called the lunisolar calendar?
Didn’t think so. While many parts of the world celebrate New Year's Day on January 1st, the first day of the year according to the modern Gregorian, the lunisolar calendar marks the new year a few weeks later. This also commemorates the beginning of spring.
While the celebration can typically be referred to as Chinese New Year, it's actually celebrated by several Asian nations and recognized around the world, with traditions that vary from country to country, coast to coast. (Shout out to San Francisco.)
Similar to the west, Lunar New Year is a chance to start over and gain good fortune. Within the Chinese celebration, it also welcomes a new animal from the Chinese zodiac, a 12-year cycle where each year is represented by an animal and its qualities. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, considered the luckiest of the 12 zodiac animals for representing peace and longevity. If you're hoping to set yourself up for good luck this upcoming new year, we’re pairing you with the ultimate ink duos for some high-quality inspirations.
