2017年1月30日，迈阿密大学的湖边广场上热闹非凡。从舞龙舞狮到中国书法，从大鼓表演到美食盛宴，迈大的多个华人社团学生为本校师生，当地华人及国际友人献上了一台精彩绝伦的中国传统新年晚会，共同庆祝中国农历鸡年的到来。

晚会期间，华人学生还向外国朋友们介绍了中国的传统生肖文化，晚会现场气氛热烈，互动精彩。

From a colorful lion dance to a demonstration of Chinese calligraphy, and from a powerful drum performance to a tasty feast of Chinese cuisine, the University of Miami community celebrated Lunar New Year on Monday, joining hundreds of millions of people across Asia in marking the Year of the Rooster.

Held on the Lakeside Patio, UM’s annual observance of the holiday, which is also known as Spring Festival in China, was presented by the Asian American Students Association, the Chinese Students and Scholars Association, and the Hong Kong Students Association.

Approximately a sixth of the world's population observes Lunar New Year, with each new year associated with one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

According to Chinese astrology, if you were born in the year of the rooster, you are very observant, hardworking, resourceful, courageous, and talented.
