WELCOME TO THE HOME OF WXD ON WEB

Hello, my name is Wang, Xiaodong ( You can also call me Frank Wang, if you like ).   I came to Canada as a graduate student from my hometown( Beijing, China ) and had stayed in the city of Windsor ( Ontario, Canada ) for several years, and then moved to Toronto for a new job as a Java Developer in early 2000.   Now I have created an IT Consulting Company called "Worldwide eXtensible Design (WXD) Technology Corporation",   and I am the Corporation's CEO, Director, Designer, Developer, and Janitor (^_~).   To know more about me, you can see my Resume .   But here, I am going to tell you a beautiful story if you have any interest ......

STORY OF THE CHINESE ZODIAC

This Feburary 9th, 2024, Chinese people across Canada and elsewhere in the world would be busy themselves scouring their homes in a ritual cleaning --- casting out evil sprits. At sunset, they throw open their windows to release any remaining malevolent beings --- and thus, the year of the Dragon begins.

According to the Chinese calendar, this year is the 4722th year.   If you are born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 or 2012, then this year is your year.   But ...

• Why this year is called the year of the Dragon?
• How do Chinese people celebrate their New Year in China ?
• How do Chinese Immigrants in Canada celebrate their New Year ?
• What is the origination of the Chinese Zodiac ?
• How do we know which year belongs to which animal ?

You will find all the answers here in this Web-site.   However, the answers may not be exactly right, so please do not try to sue me if you find something wrong (^_^)
Thank you !
