Welcome to this, the fourth edition of the Regnum Journal.

This week follows a special edition for the fast arriving Chinese New Year which arrives this year on the 7th of February.

The Chinese New Year is celebrated by Asians, and other cultures all over the world where there is a significant Chinese population, and has a long history dating back as far as the Qin Dynasty,
221 - 206 BC.
 

In this edition I will be talking about some of the more popular aspects of the Chinese New Year, the history and traditions - All of which is quite fascinating. Also for this week I've looked into a Chinese dish used since the early medieval era for Noodles, or more specifically Longevity Noodles, a traditional food during the Chinese New Year which symbolizes long life - Just be sure not to cut them!

Also covered in this edition is the results of the first Contest for the server, and once more the guide about the IRC Chat built into
Kapi-Regnum; not to mention a new Interview with one of our Players.

Otherwise keep sending your suggestions in for ways to help us improve the content here in the Journal for you, the readers. Different sections have different subject titles to make it easier for us to review them to check for suitability and how they may be implemented.
Take a look at the Journal Contributes article for details.

Otherwise don't forget to sign up for the Forums if you've not already done so, and perhaps join the rest of us in the IRC chat after reading it's article on chat behaviour and other general information.

See you next time in the next edition of the Regnum Journal.
What will be the next theme? You'll have to wait and see.
