LUNAR NEW YEAR ANIMALS DEPICTED

IN COLOURFUL CALENDAR

****

A COLOURFUL NEW WALL CALENDAR WHICH FEATURES THE 12 ANIMALS OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR CYCLE, AND RELATES THEM TO SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS OF OUR DEVELOPME..T, HAS BEEN PRODUCED TO PROMOTE HG KONG OVERS

THE IDEA OF PRODUCING A CALENDAR WHICH WOULD NOT ONLY LOOK PLEASING TO THE EYE, BUT LSO CONTAIN TOPICAL INFORMATION, WAS CONCEIVED BY THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SERVICES, AND A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PUBLICATION WAS LAUNCHED LAST YEAR.

IN VIEW OF THE CALENDAR'S POPULARITY, IT WAS DECIDED TO PRINT ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE 1982 EDITION FOR THE LOCAL ARKET. THE NEW CALENDAR, WHICH IS BILINGUAL AND COSTS $23, IS ON SALE AT THE GOVERNMET PUBLICATIONS CENTRE, G.P.O. BUILDING, CONNAUGHT PLACE, CENTRAL, HONG KONG.

THE FRONT COVER OF THE CALENDAR DEPICTS GLASS MINIATURES OF THE 12 LUNAR NEW YEAR ANIMALS WHICH ARE THE DOG, DRAGON, SNAKE, HORSE, GOAT, MONKEY, COCKEREL, PIG, RAT, OX, TIGER AND RABBIT, AND GIVES THE DATES FOR THE YEAR OF EACH ANIMAL.

THE COMING LUNAR NEW YEAR, MARKING THE YEAR OF THE DOG, FALLS ON JANUARY 25.

A FOREWORD NOTES THAT, WHILE THE WESTERN CALENDAR IS FOLLOWED IN HONG KONG FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, THE OLD CHINESE CALENDAR STILL GOVERNS THE CULTURAL, FESTIVE, RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL LIFE OF MOST PEOPLE.
