Did you know that the Chinese New Year (過年) began as the Hebrew Passover (逾越節)? Did you know that the red on the door posts and lintels of Chinese homes (now red banners) used to be the blood of the Passover Sacrifice? Did you know that Israelites (以色列人) settled in China shortly after the 10 Tribes were conquered and exiled by the Neo-Assyrians in year c. 722 BCE? Did you know that scattered Israelites also settled in Korea and Japan?

This work uncovers little-known evidence of a group of Israelites that settled in China in year c. 712 BCE. The Hebrew Passover (פסח) New Year combined with the Feast of Unleavened Bread (חג המצות) holiday became part of Chinese culture, and today it is known as Guò Nián (過年) The Chinese New Year. This is why there are certain traditions associated with the holiday, including the red on door posts and lintels and the firecrackers set off at midnight. These actions were once intended to cause the Destroyer, Nián (年), to Guò (過) Passover, Guò Nián (過年), the homes of Chinese families in order to spare their children. Anciently, the red on the Chinese homes was the blood of the Passover lamb (see Chapter 7).

The tradition was coined The Chinese New Year by foreigners who misinterpreted the observance and the Chinese character Nián (年). The foreigners incorrectly assumed that the tradition was referring to the passover of the year, instead of the passover of the Destroyer. Over the centuries, the Chinese had forgotten the original meaning of the tradition and their Israelite heritage. The Chinese New Year has actually never taken place at the passover (過) of the year (年) on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. Today, it takes place in the spring during the second month. This is because the holiday evolved from the Hebrew Passover and takes place at the time of the ancient Hebrew New Year, not the Chinese New Year.
