+ Lucky Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Happy Chinese New Year! i note that we can now use short foreign phrases, so it's often written Gung Hay Fat Choi, although that, I am told, is a Cantonese version. https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/special-report/chinese-new-year/happy-new-year-in-chinese.htm Edited February 1, 2022 by Lucky hei hay Marc in Calif, + Charlie, Antonio1981 and 4 others 3 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Tygerscent Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Happy New Year~!😃 Good fortune in front of you as you move forward. Good family to the left of you to cheer you on. Good friends to the right of you to walk with and a pillow behind you tied to tour butt as the future pushes you into the new year~ 😛🥰 Jai Sun WuKong~! (Jai means Victory in Hindi and Sun WuKong is the Monkey King found in many Asian Cultures… depicted as Hunaman in India).

xyz48B Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I had no idea what that meant! 😂 I love the Chinese zodiac myth story. It’s a shame more westerners don’t delve into eastern history and lore. So rich…Just last night I watched a YouTube documentary about cats in Japan down through the ages. So fascinating…and different from my own experience. Marc in Calif, + Vegas_Millennial and + Charlie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Lucky Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Sunday the 22d is Chinese New Year, this year the Year of the Rabbit. You may have seen the hordes of Chinese people taking trains to the provinces to meet up with family. Family is a big part of a good new year. I have celebrated Chinese New Year for decades as the hubby is Chinese. We try to do a family dinner, but always have a big spread on the day before as it is New Year's Eve. This year the LA Chinatown will be holding a parade and we hope to be there on October 28th in the afternoon. New York parade is January 29th as is Chicago's. Seattle and Vancouver will also have parades. Edited January 20, 2023 by Lucky sp liubit, NJF, Marc in Calif and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yes, we're leaving Vietnam today, just in time to avoidTết or the Vietnamese new year. As they say in Vietnam, Chúc mừng năm mới! We got to see all of the preparations for the festival without having to suffer the crowds and prices during the first week of the new year....

Apparently, most Asians observe a similar zodiac as the Chinese, but in Vietnam, this is the year of the Cat as opposed to the Rabbit. Apparently, in the race to determine the zodiac order or animals, the cat pushed the rabbit out of the race... Interestingly, the Vietnamese also eat bitter melon at this time of year to signify that bitterness has passed and happy times ahead. Whereas, the Chinese would only eat auspicious foods and anything bitter would be shunned. NJF, + Vegas_Millennial and Marc in Calif 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ BOZO T CLOWN Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you a prosperous and fulfilling New Year ahead. May the dragon's wisdom and bravery inspire you to achieve your dreams this year. May the year of the dragon bring you happiness and success. The dragon is the only animal on the Chinese zodiac that is a mythical creature. In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize good luck, strength and power. They control the weather and water.
