First published in 2006. The Moon Year is an attempt at recording the mysterious and somewhat elusive traditions of the Chinese. Juliet Bredon and Igor Mitrophanow trace their way through the intimate life of the society, their religions, their superstitions, their philosophies, and customs. Only after a year's residence in China are they able to gather a much more intimate perspective on this age-old civilization that has withstood the test of time. Bredon and Mitrophanow attempt to unravel some of the puzzles that surround this fascinating culture, through describing in detail the everyday beliefs of the Chinese people and the festivals of their 'Moon Calendar,' used as a diary of daily happenings.

The traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar has connections to the Five Elements of ancient China: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water which in turn have given their names to the Five Planets: Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. The Five Elements are also related to the Five Directions: East, South, Centre, West and North as well as to the Four Seasons plus the Change of Seasons. Consequently tables explaining these have been included. The 5 Elements combine with the sun and moon to give us the 7 days of the week which are still used in Japan. The 24 Solar Terms, which divide the year into 24 periods of about 15 days, are another feature of the traditional Chinese calendar. They mark the summer and winter solstices, the spring and autumn equinoxes as well as the beginnings of the seasons. These are essential for deciding on times for planting and harvesting of crops and the 12 major Solar Terms are closely related to the 12 signs of the Western Zodiac. The 12 Earthly Branches represented by 12 animals give us a 12 year period and, when they are combined with the 10 Heavenly Stems, they give us the 60 year cycle of the traditional Chinese calendar. Tables related to all of these have been included as well as 40 pages of conversion tables from the Chinese Lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar from 1804/1805 to 2100. Readers can easily and accurately find out the Chinese year and animal of their birth as well as the birth details of their parents and grandparents. These tables are also a useful tool for looking at Chinese history. For example the Xin Hai Revolution, which ended the rule of China's emperors, occurred during the year Xin Hai between 30 Jan 1911 and 17 Feb 1912. The charts show how Xin Hai is composed of Heavenly Stem Xin and Earthly Branch Hai. Fortune telling is another function of the traditional calendar and a 13 page table related to fortune telling in marriage, derived from a wall chart in the Wan Shou Eight Immortals Temple in Xi'an, is also included.

Orange trees and plum blossoms. Strings of firecrackers and clusters of gold coins. Dinners with family and offerings to ancestors. No event in the Chinese calender holds a greater importance, or is as richly celebrated, as the Lunar New Year. This complete introduction to the holiday explores its many symbols and rituals, tracing their history and meanings, and describing the differences in its celebration from Hong Kong to Taiwan, Singapore to mainland China. Beginning with notable days in the month preceding the holiday and extendingto the Lantern Festival fifteen days into the New Year, the author guides the reader through the etiquette of gift-giving and the selection of special foods, holiday greetings, and popular decorations. Many Chinese traditions have been lost forever, but in communities throughout the world the anticipation, preparation, and celebration of the Lunar New Year endures.
