火候年
The Red Monkey

2016年是中国民间俗称的“火候年”，依照中国传统，每一个农历属相都各自代表五行中的一行（金，木，水，火，土），2016为丙申年，丙为火，申为猴，所以民间俗称火候年或者赤猴年。猴在中国的属相传统中代表着机智，好奇，有创造力以及最有趣味。“猴”也是中国属相中最多才多艺的象征。猴子机敏活跃，让人赏心悦目。参与庆典的人们也可以享受如猴子穿越林间一般穿越不同活动和表演的乐趣。

2016 is the Year of the Fire Monkey as each zodiac sign is associated with one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth which happen in a 60 year cycle. The monkey is curious, witty, intelligent, inventive, and the most playful of the Chinese Zodiac animals. The Monkey is the most versatile sign of the Chinese zodiac. The nimble monkey is a joy to watch as they move from activity to activity. Like the monkey, visitors to the Festival will enjoy being involved; moving from event to event; activity to activity, performance to performance.
