Happy Chinese New Year - Year of Rooster
The Chinese New Year Day is on February 9th, 2005. The Year 2005 (Rooster) is the 4702nd Chinese year. Most Chinese believe that the first king of China was the Yellow King (he was not the first emperor of China). The Yellow King became king in 2697 BC, therefore China will enter the 4702nd year on February 4th, 2005.
Ran into an article with Chinese horoscope predictions for the coming year:
Rooster tends to be overconfident and is prone to come up with nonsensical plans. Politics will adhere to hard-line policies. The diplomatic scene will be dominated by philosophical orators who rave a lot about nothing. Governments will be found flexing their muscles at each other, but just for show. There may be no real confrontations. It is just that everyone will be too occupied with himself to hear or care what the other person is saying.
Best wishes for those of us involved with politics in 2005.
