What do the Chinese in Discworld (in or out of the Aurient) do for Chinese New Year(CNY)? How many human races are recognized there? What is the equivalent social construct? What zodiac might they use?

Make a card, share a special recipe full of round(?) orange(?) things to represent coins and riches -or- the equivalent of “long life noodles” to be eaten in one piece without breaking -or- sone other custom, or sone equivalent mailart. Is it the Year of the Dog for them also? (In roundworld Feb.16, 2018 starts the year of the dog.) If so, is it a 3 headed-dog or a fu-dog, or?

Edit: ONE partner

I’d advise starting now. I’m as clueless as anyone else but it sounds like a great idea. Mr. X created the image above for https://www.spreadshirt.com/year+of+the+dog+2018+t-shirts. I’d never heard of them before today and know nothing about them.

From Wikipedia “Interesting Times is the seventeenth novel in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, set in the Aurient (a.k.a. Orient) . The title refers to the common myth that there exists a Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times".”
