The Chinese New Year celebration – known also as the Spring Festival – begins this year on February 14 (New Year’s Day) and culminates on February 28 (the 15th day of the first lunar month) with the Lantern Festival. According to Chinese astrology, this year is the year of the Metal Tiger. There are twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac and five elements, which means that the last Metal Tiger year was sixty years ago, in 1950.
There are therefore two important concepts associated with the Chinese calendar – the animals in the Chinese zodiac, the metal in the five elements (wuxing).
The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and is feared and revered in equal measure. It features in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty. The Tiger is therefore a natural born leader and symbolizes power, passion and daring. Words associated with tiger are, among others, courageous, active, self-assured, optimistic, passionate, independent, rebellious, dynamic, and unpredictable, quick tempered but considerate, affectionate but careless.
Tigers are fond of competitions. They simply cannot pass up a challenge. They may appear cool and are unpredictable, and it would be unwise to underestimate their reactions.
The qualities associated with Metal are unyieldingness, rigidity, persistence, strength and determination. The Metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful and set in their ways as metal is very strong; and they are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The Metal person is also materialistic, business oriented and good at organization and stability. However the Metal person can also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life. Just as metal can conduct electricity, the Metal person has strong impulses and generative powers and can bring about changes and transformations for those who come into contact with them. Metal is believed to govern the lungs, nose and skin. The negative emotion associated with Metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage.
People who are born in the year of Tiger with the element of Metal are very quiet people. However, their innermost beings are the opposite. This makes them quite complicated but interesting in the meanwhile. Metal Tiger people hates naggers, they like to think things alone and calmly. However they are passionate about life. Metal Tiger people draws clear lines between work and private life. They never "bring works home". They can be very considerate to their partners. A Metal Tiger person enjoys power, but they know they have to work hard for it. Therefore, most of the people born in the Metal Tiger years can be successful in the later years.

今年华人新年，或称春节，由2月14日（年初一）至庆祝高潮于2月28日（农历一月十五）的灯节。根据华人天文学，今年是金虎年。华人生肖中有十二动物，与五行；就是说，上一次的金虎年是在60年前，也就是1950年。
这里有两个重要的华人日历概念，华人生肖中的动物及五行。
老虎是世界上最美丽的生物，被人畏惧与敬重。在亚洲文化中，被认为是勇气、权力、热情及忠诚的象征。所以老虎是天生的领袖，象征权力、热情与果敢。与老虎相连的字词包括：勇敢、活跃、有把握、乐观、热情、独立、叛逆、活力、不可预测，暴躁而体贴，深情而粗心。
老虎喜爱竞争。他们就是不能放过挑战。它们看起来冷静与不可预测，所以不能低估它们的反应。
金元素的属性是倔强、僵直、坚持、有体力与决心。属金的人犹如金属般坚强，好控制、雄心勃勃与强而有力，同时墨守成规。他们自立，喜欢单独处理事务。但是，属金的人也很享受奢侈与人生中美好的东西。犹如金可传电，属金的人有冲力与感染力，可改变与他们有接触的人。一般相信金统管肺、鼻与皮肤。在精神上，属金的负面是多愁善感，它的正面情绪是有勇气。
出生于金虎年的人城府很深。但是，他们的内心却是相反的。这就令他们显得相当复杂与有趣。属金虎的人讨厌别人喋喋不休，喜欢单独冷静的思考。但是，他们对人生充满热情。他们从不把工作带回家。他们对他们的伙伴相当体贴。属金的人很享受权力，但是他们知道他们要很努力去争取权力。因此，出生于金虎年的人在他们的人生的后期会很成功。
