Today is the day that the Chinese New Year is celebrated and the year of the dragon ends as people ring in the year of the snake. Firework displays and firecrackers rang out everywhere as people rang in the lunar new year last night. Firecrackers are believed to scare off evil spirits and bring the god of wealth to people. People who are born in the year of the snake are complex, stylish, and thoughtful. The Year of the Snake is said to also bring good karma and financial times for those born under the snake. Find out which Chinese sign you are here and check out pics from the celebration in the gallery.
