I knew it by "{{% wikipedia article="Chinese New Year" %}}" only and this year is "{{% wikipedia article="Year of the Pig" %}}" with increase in birthrate projected in China as they believe children bring prosperity in this year. Found googles doodle linked to "{{% wikipedia article="Lunar New Year" %}}" instead of "Chinese New year". Globalization or lessons learnt for Chinese market? :-) Wikipedia says,Lunar New Year is Celebrated by: China, Taiwan, South and North Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Singapore. Happy New year all of you guys.
