It highlights the significance of the Lunar New Year, a festival celebrated by over 20% of the global population, and its historical roots in clearing away bad luck and starting anew. The resolution describes traditional customs associated with the celebration, including ceremonial visits, family feasts, and the exchange of gifts, as well as the 16-day festivities culminating in the Lantern Festival.

Additionally, the resolution expresses appreciation for the contributions of the Rhode Island Asian community to the state's cultural diversity, acknowledging the values of family, work ethic, and artistic contributions that inspire the broader community. It concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the Rhode Island Association of Chinese Americans, reinforcing the importance of recognizing and celebrating this cultural event.
