Depending on your translation, February 19 marks the first day of the Year of the Sheep - or Goat - or Ram.
What can we be happy about and look forward to?
In the 12-animal Chinese Zodiac, the Sheep is kind, tender and sympathetic. Sheep are creative and elegant. Because of their softer side, they are symbolic of peace and harmony.
The Year of the Sheep follows a tumultuous Year of the Horse, and heralds a year with a much more calm atmosphere. Hooray!
Bamboo has long been the Chinese symbol for strength and a strong life that's filled with prosperity
One Bamboo Stalk = Simplicity and Meaningful Life.
Even with one stalk of Lucky Bamboo you are blessed and surrounded with good energy.
Two Bamboo Stalks = LOVE! or double your luck.
People often send two stalks of bamboo as an expression of love. Two will also help you double your luck.
