Details: The Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. The Chinese Zodiac, a 12-year animal signs cycle, are used for dating the years(For example, 2005 is the Year of Rooster). They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time. The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.
