History: The Chinese New Year is a unique cycle wherein the date of the new year changes annually. The date of the new year in the Chinese cycle is determined by the new moon that occurs in late January or February. Unlike the Gregorian calendar of the United Kingdom, the Chinese calendar is based on a 12-year cycle. The snake is the sixth animal of this cycle. According to Chinese symbology, snakes are said to be intelligent, but they do not show any moral principles.
