The Year of the Rabbit 🐇is the fourth of the 12 zodiac animals, and those born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be elegant, charming, and kind-hearted. They are also known for their diplomacy and tact, which makes them great mediators and problem-solvers.
One of the most iconic symbols of Chinese New Year is the red lantern🏮. During the holiday, it is common to see streets and homes decorated with red lanterns, as well as other traditional decorations such as paper cutouts, scrolls, and banners. These bright and beautiful decorations are said to bring good luck and prosperity, and they can be seen hanging from homes, businesses, and street lamps all over China during the holiday. Why not make your own red lantern to hang in your home or office? It’s a fun and easy craft project that the whole family can enjoy.
Food is also an important part of Chinese New Year celebrations. From dumplings to fish, and sticky rice cakes to tangyuan, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. But did you know that certain foods are considered to be particularly auspicious during Chinese New Year? For example, dumplings are shaped like ancient Chinese gold ingots and are said to bring wealth and prosperity. Fish is also a popular Chinese New Year food, as the word “fish” sounds like “surplus” in Chinese, so it’s believed to bring abundance and good fortune.
Another critical aspect of the Chinese New Year is the food🍱. Families gather together to enjoy traditional foods such as dumplings, fish, and sticky rice cakes. It is also customary to give and receive red envelopes filled with money, which is said to bring good luck and wealth. 👪👪
