Hello everyone, ready for another week of HubMobbing? After a successful week with 35 hubs so far for our Small Business HubMob, this week we are going to go to a very fun topic. You already know that this year on February 14th most people around the world will be celebrating Valentine's Day, but did you know that February 14th is also the start of the Chinese New Year? In some parts of the world, the celebrations last for 15 days, the time that takes the new moon to become a full moon. Let's join in the festivities and write about The Chinese New Year.
Some ideas for a HubMob hub on the Chinese New Year are:
The origin of the Chinese New Year
Regional customs and traditions for the Chinese new year
The year of the tiger
The dates for Chinese New Year, why do they vary every year.
Legends
Food
Clothing
The Chinese New Year in your country
Festivities
Practices
Symbolism and superstitions
Overseas parades
Decorations
To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
1. YOU MUST START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK. Choose the Answer the Request green button. Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option.
2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
3. If necessary change the category on your hub to best suit your topic.
4. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/37556/hubm … ew&rss For more information on how to add the RSS feed to your hub you can click here
5. Add the HubMob graphic below to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
6. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why. Take advantage of the free publicity!
If you are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-a-HubMo … o-join-one please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.

Thank you for this week topic, I love it, and here is my contribution :

Happy Chinese New Year
This is like the hub I did not the New Year in India not starting in Jan but constantly arriving all through the year in different religions and regions.
The year of the tiger...here I come.
http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Year-of-the-Tiger?done
Am done with mine
Did one about Chinese astrology just before the hubmob was announced. Almost my first hobmob. Damn.
I will be giving this topic a miss, while I love and respect the Chinese people I would simply be copying and pasting from somewhere else as I know nothing about the Chinese new year.......I will however read all the hubs that are created about it so that I can inform myself...
http://hubpages.com/hub/Dragon-and-Lion … ation?done
nice Chinese traditions -- the lion and the dragon dance
This is the most important Chinese holiday of the year and almost everyone goes home for it. This means that the trains and long distance buses are packed to bursting, and invariably they stay happy, even for 20 hour + journeys. The students generally go first around the end of January then everyone else over the first week of February. They should mostly be home by yesterday which is the official start of the New Year with a minor banquet for family. Firecrackers are the most obvious sign that it is a special day, is customary to set them off before each meal. Here in the city there are enough, in the village everyone does it and the noise around dinner time is constant. The crackers are wrapped with red tissue paper that is blown apart and covers the roads and house fronts. Yesterday marks the start of the 7 day period up to THE day on the 14th. It is normal to spring clean before the 7th and then traditionally you don't put out the rubbish for 7 days, it is bad luck for anything to be put out of the house in this time. The markets close after tomorrow (the 10th) for one week, so I have been out stocking up and have another trip tomorrow to get some booze in as she has gone home for it and I am left to fend for myself! But then I am a foreigner - so I don't count.
My family and I are planning our Chinese New Year trip into LA Chinatown as we speak! Mostly I'm making a huge list of all the food I'm going to buy! Plus I gotta try out some of your recipes, Beth100. Hope everyone enjoys my hub:

Princessa! HubPages Elite! You look good with your "e". You should get something for being a 3 year hubber too. I love the new HubPages elite program. But I got overlooked
Not any more RM, you've got recognition too.
You are doing a great job every week with the HubMob round up hubs. They can be very time consuming and you kindly give your time to promote the HubMob not every Hubber would be as dedicated as you are!
Congratulations on your "e" !!
Thanks Princessa. It is wonderful to be appreciated!
RM, what are you doing up? Now I thought I was the only one up in the wee hours of the morning
Well, goodnight if you are still around....
I was on a decent sleep schedule until tonight. I have delayed sleep phase syndrome, therefore have a 26 hr clock, therefore I have to take [natural] supplements to try to have a normal sleep schedule. I had a caffeinated soda early this afternoon, and 2 small pieces of chocolate tonight. When will I ever learn!?
oh have you tried tea Rmcrayne, they are good for you,
here is another hub from me, I am fasciated with Chinese numerology
http://hubpages.com/hub/Lucky-and-Unluc … se-Culture
Maita, I have tried lots of things. Unfortunately nothing seems to work long term, so I am constantly changing strategies. My naturopath gave me lemon balm drops which did not work. Skullcap has worked well, until suddenly it doesn't I have at least a half dozen diffent herbal tea varieties, and it didn't cross my mind to try them last night!
I like the green tea and it is available at Asian stores here,It will make you sleep and dream of good times hehe,
Thank you for your new update on HUBMOB, KUNG HEI FAT CHOI -- Happy New Year!!
Finally I got mine done.

HubMobsters, here is your Chinese New Year HubMob roundup hub:
Chinese New Year-- Learn About Celebration and Tradition from our HubMobsters
http://hubpages.com/hub/Chinese-New-Yea … ion-HubMob
The Chinese New Year celebration is observed beginning the first day of the first moon of the lunar calendar. It is the most important of the Chinese holidays and is celebrated in many countries. The Chinese New Year celebration is a time for food, family, fellowship and pageantry.
I actually wrote my valentines day hub with the chinese new year as a special twist. I maybe could like to two if I can get a hub in in time! Time is so short just now but maybe I can get in on this one, might be a late comer tho .
Late is no problem! I continue to monitor the most recent HubMob (previous week along with current week) daily. I'll usually go back 2 to 4 weeks and look at the RSS a couple times a week. If in doubt, you can always email me. I do lots of late submissions myself!

Chinese New year is not unique in the world. There are many similarities between Indian New year and Chinese New Year. Both follow lunar calendar.
Large numbers of customs and traditions are similar to that of India.
What are the traditions and significance of Chinese New year? How Chinese celebrate it in China and outside China? What are the similarities with India? And lot more.....

Have we missed out at all? Do we have a dead line? x
Absolutely no deadline! Princessa never closes the question. Sometimes I don't get a firm HubMob hub idea until Friday or Saturday. I can be slow I frequently submit hubs to HubMobs from 1, 2, even 4 weeks back. I submitted 3 Toys hubs 4 weeks after the Toys HubMob launched. You miss some of the visibility and publicity of the HubMob week, but you can always continue to submit. And you can always email me to get it in the roundup hub.
Phew... Im the slow one not you! I value what you do for us!
Thanks xx
I'm on Chinese food overload, and the kids are on a mini-break from school, so it's getting silly around here...

Start The Chinese New Year with the I Ching – Be Guided by Ancient Wisdom!
It happens on the new moon. It is the first lunar month of the year. Spring is only around the corner – between four and eight weeks after this event. What is it? This is the Chinese new year – year to commemorate the beginning of something new! A re-birth! Now is the time to make a future. People’s beliefs in China, look at this time as a time to consult the Chinese book of divination to tell them what to do.

Thanks shaz. I'm thrilled with my "e".
I slept from 03:00 to 13:00 today! Now if I can "back my clock up" a tad. I should start a little "tea party" for myself at midnight!
I've really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year customs. Happy New Year!
Glad you got some much deserved rest RM.
I was born at 11:00 p.m. so it's hard for me to go to sleep prior to midnight. Chamomile or sleepy time tea usually works for me (without any sweetener of course).
I got an idea for another article and that is the fact that there may not be any wild tigers left on Earth when the Year of the Tiger comes around again in 2022. So here is a Hub about the tiger's plight and some things we can do to save them.
