Description
Happy Year of the Snake!
2013 is the Year of the Snake. The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, and the start of the year is based on the cycles of the moon, and this year it falls on February 10, 2013.
Years of the Snake are: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013
This is my wild grass calligraphy for the Chinese character, snake.
Chinese writing dates back to over 5000 years ago. Snake 蛇 is a pictograph. The original oracle bone script is a rough drawing of the snake. It has evolved to the modern day character but you can still vaguely see the head on the left and the tail on the right.
