Celebrate Chinese New Year!
HONOR THE YEAR OF THE TIGER
LEARN CALLIGRAPHY.
Happy Chinese New Year! Often referred to as Lunar New Year, due to the holiday’s connection to the moon cycle, Chinese New Year is a 16- day holiday steeped in tradition. Don’t let it pass without marking the momentous occasion that’s celebrated across the globe.
This is the perfect activity for little crafters! Calligraphy is a major component of Chinese New Year decor. Those who celebrate often hang hand-painted, square red banners that feature certain words intended to induce good luck in the new year. Learn the art of calligraphy as you master Chinese symbols to create your own piece of good luck in the year of the tiger! ENJOYA TASTYMEAL. This has to be the best option, right? Create a feast to ring in the new year. Everyone will love the classics, like dumplings, noodles, or spring rolls, but don’t be afraid to try something new. Fish and chicken are common on Chinese New Year festivities, and many families will cook these items whole. Doing so is considered a strong sign for the family, and fish is meant to symbolize wealth, while chicken represents togetherness. In addition to this, nian gao is a sweet rice dish that can be the perfect way to end your meal.
To commemorate the Year of the Tiger, try these fun and easy activities.
READ ABOUT LEGENDS.
After centuries of celebrations, there are bound to be a few legends worth learning about! Why not make it into a bedtime story or
an anecdote for your next family gathering? For example, you could “wow” your children with the story of Nian, a monster who would attack at the start of every new year but was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the color red. To ward off Nian
each year, people would dress in red and shoot fireworks, celebrating a new year and keeping Nian safely at bay. Pair this story with a red meal to really sell the impact!
If this is your first Chinese New Year celebration, ChineseNewYear.net has all the basics covered for you.
