Chinese New Year Limited Free Access for Production Notes 16-20 (1/28-2/4)

0:00 Hello dear listeners, this is Lynn, the voice of the 5th Monkey. Happy 2025. You think the celebration ends once we enter a new year? Well how about we enter the new year again? The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year is right around the corner as we go from the Year of Dragon to the Year of Snake. This is all based on what we call in Chinese Nongli or agricultural calendar, which is a loony solar calendar still widely used in the Chinese speaking world. It is in fact different from a lunar calendar, so it's actually inaccurate to call the Chinese New Year the Lunar New Year. Feel free to do your own research on this topic. To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, we will unlock production notes episodes 16 to
