Posted on Sunday, January 23rd, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Good morning everybody! The Chinese New Year is coming! Are you looking forward to it? Ok, it doesn't matter as I would just like to share something about Chinese New year. New Year is an important festival for most of Chinese people. Chinese New Year is set to be official holidays by many different countries, such as China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore etc.
First, The meaning of celebrating Chinese New year is the beginning of a year. For this year, the Chinese New Year will start from the third of February. Before the Chinese New Year, most of Chinese people would clean up their houses on the twenty-eighth(28th) of month twelve(12) in order to sweep out the bad luck and they will be lucky in the coming year.
Second, People would place a Chinese Candy Box in their houses. The box is usually red in colour and there are some melon seed, chocolate coins etc.
And then, People would send red pocket to their children in this festival. And it always contains money amounting even number.
【Also, people like to activate some firecrackers which are explosive devices to produce a large amount of noise. However, it had been banned in Hong Kong because of the noise and security reasons.】
Finally, I wish all of us will have a healthy body and a happy Chinese New Year. That's all I want to say, Thank You!
