This Lunar New Year, also known as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, is an annual celebration of the first lunar cycle of the new year. It's a weeklong national holiday in China, and this year it starts on February 10. This is the Year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac, and it's a symbol of "luck, wisdom and success." But the optimism these words inspire has been overshadowed by the current state of the Chinese economy, with many experts projecting a downturn.
