An occasion to dance欢哥乐舞时节
During the Lunar New Year, lion dance troupes from Chinese martial art schools often perform the traditional custom of cai qing, literally meaning "plucking the greens". The lion performs a dance like a curious cat, and plucks an auspicious green vegetable, usually lettuce, which is tied to a red packet and hung on a pole. In Mandarin, the word cai or “vegetable” is a homophone for “fortune”, and the dance is believed to bring businesses good fortune. Versions of the lion dance are also found in South Korea, Japan, Tibet, Indonesia and Vietnam.
在农历新年期间,来自中国武术学校的醒狮队经常会表演“采青”的传统习俗,即采取绿色。舞狮者像一只好奇的猫一样的舞蹈,他们会采摘一种吉祥的绿色蔬菜,通常为生菜,然后把蔬菜绑在一个红包里挂在杆子上。在普通话里,菜或蔬菜与财富的财谐音,而舞蹈被认为会给生意带来好运。不同版本的狮舞在韩国、日本、西藏、印度尼西亚和越南也有。
A family reunion家庭团聚时刻
For ethnic Chinese, the reunion dinner on the eve of Lunar New Year is often the biggest and most elaborate meal of the year, with the whole family gathering for this special occasion. A reunion dinner usually features long noodles, symbolising long life. A type of black hair-like algae, fa cai, is also found in many dishes as its name sounds similar to "prosperity". Fish is the last course of the meal, but it is intentionally not finished. The reason for this stems from a Chinese saying, “nian nian you yu” (meaning every year there is leftover), which is a homophone for “being blessed every year". On the final day of the New Year, families gather to make round dumplings shaped like the full moon to symbolise family reunion and perfection.
