Chinese New Year
Today, Chinese new year brings families together all over the world. In fact, billions of people travel back to their homes and families in China, to feast on a delicious reunion dinner with plates of home-made food. 有十几亿中国人不远千里赶回家乡,和家人团聚在一起,共同享有满桌的家常菜肴。
Many of the foods like, eggrolls, noodles, and shrimp mean something special.
Eggrolls symbolize wealth for the coming year, because they look like bars of solid gold.
ChangMing noodles shouldn’t be cut, because long noodles symbolize health for a long life.
Shrimp symbolizes happiness, because the mandarin words for shrimp and smile sounds very similar.
As part of the festivities, lucky red envelops called Hongbao are passed out to children as well as unmarried adults. 代表幸运的红色信封,也叫红包,是节日活动的一部分。孩子们和未婚的成年人都会收到红包。
In Chinese culture, the color red symbolizes luck. In order to receive the red envelopes, well wishes are given to the elders.
Money is inside each envelope to bring prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.
