About Year of the Ox

This auspicious 4719th Chinese New Year is the Year of the Golden Ox and the departure of the not so auspicious Year of the Golden Rat.

On the Chinese lunar calendar, each year is symbolized by a different animal, and each cycle is rep-resented by one of the five fundamental elements that the ancient Chinese believed made up the universe: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company has produced a fantastic program showcase the diversity of the traditional and contemporary Chinese performing artists in America coming together to send away the Year of the Rat, and welcome the New Year of the Ox in an unprecedented collaboration.contemporary Chinese performing artists in America coming together to send away the Year of the Rat, and welcome the New Year of the Ox in an unprecedented collaboration.
