Introducing the Chinese New Year
The Chinese Year is celebrated on the first day of the first lunar month and lasts for 15 days. The Chinese New Year is the major Chinese holiday and is also celebrated throughout Asia, not only in China. There are two cycles that coincide with the Chinese New Year the twelve-year animal zodiac and the ten-year heavenly stems.
The tale behind the Chinese New year is that villagers tried to protect themselves from a mythical beast called Nian or "Year". Each year on the first day of the New Year the beast would come to eat crops, villagers, livestock and particularly children. Villagers would put out food from Nian and hang red colored lanterns, as Nian was afraid of the color red. Nian eventually was scared off. Now to celebrate the banishment of this creature the New Year is celebrated by hanging red lanterns and using firecrackers.
The period around the Chinese New Year is known as the largest migration time in China as the New Year is a time to visit friends and relatives and many individuals travel to return home and visit with family. The day before the Chinese New Year the home will be cleaned from top to bottom to sweep away the bad luck from the preceding year and welcome in good luck. Other traditions like wearing new clothes and getting a haircut are also included in having a new start.
The first day of the New Year is when families visit the most senior members of their family as well as pray to the deities of heaven and earth. No cooking is done as the use of knives and fire can bring in bad luck. On the second day and married daughters will visit her birth parents. Traditionally she was not able to visit them much so this ensured some time with her parents.
The third and fourth day has no traveling as these days are more prone to arguments. As well as being disrespectful to any relatives that may have had loved ones pass away over the past few years. The fifth day celebrated the Chinese god of wealth and dumplings, symbols of wealth, are eaten.
On the seventh day everyone turns one year older as this is the common mans birthday. On this day friends congregate and feast on colorful raw fish salads. The Jade emperor of Heaven's birthday is on the ninth day. Offerings of sugarcane are made to the Jade emperor and honored guests will drink tea. On the last day of the New Year lanterns and candles are lit to guide back wayward spirits.
How can i produce chinese jade seeds?
I bought a mature chinese jade tree at wal-mart and it had white blooms, do i need to polinate it so it can produce seeds or is it able to produce seeds on its own, and how will i know if seeds are growing? I live in canada, im in zone 5.
There are many comments and quite a bit of information about jade plants on this site:

No seeds, propagation is done through cuttings. When I lived in southern California, we had a row of jade growing along the southside of the house. It was self propagating from the roots and grew like a weed.
