Why is the pinwheel a symbol of Chinese New Year?


Look at question above. At CNY, we have pinwheels plastered all around, does it mean good luck? Why is it a symbol of CNY? Approx. when did this tradition start?

it's not a pinwheel. it's called a bagua. and it's not the symbol of chiunese new year. it just a charm like a horseshoe on the door jamb.

are you sure that it's not the Chinese zodiac? circular design with pictures of animals between 12 spokes?

CNY means ChiNa Yuan. Why would it be a symbol of CNY?

In fact, pinwheel is not the exclusive symbol of CNY. Chinese dumpling, firecracker, family dinner on the CNY eve, all the things mix together. Pinwheel means the expection for the next year, it appears more than 2000 years.
