莉莉和 (add your name)

spirits that are associated with New Years Eve.• Red was used to give Chinese dresses accents• 酒色 (orange): also a luck color

衣服• People wear new clothes and accessories with

New Years to symbolize wealth and luck for the year ahead.

• Chinese dresses are traditional and have deep symbolic meaning

• They represent where the Chinese came from, who they are, and who they aspire to be

礼服• New Years dresses can be put into 3

categories。。。

品服(pinfu)

• The oldest Chinese New Year dress• It was made of two pieces: a tunic top that

went all the way to your knees, and then pants or a long skirt were worn underneath depending on your gender

长跑(changpao)

• This dress covers your whole body from your shoulders to the heels of your feet

Sheng-I

• This is a combination of both dresses.• It has a long tunic top with pants or a skirt, like

the品服 , sewn to it making it one piece like the长跑 .

• This over time became the most popular dress

• Men wore Kung Fu suits and Chinese coats, mandarin shirts with mandarin collars, and Dragon shirts

• All dresses had large, voluminous sleeves• The pants and skirts were made out of a large

amount of cloth but used very few stitches• Many designs on New Year dresses are good

luck symbols or mythological scenes• How you dressed signified your social status

扇子• Fans are very popular accessories for both

genders during New Years

红包• Traditional red envelopes are decorated with

gold characters• Some have cartoon characters on them• Companies put their names on envelopes with

coupons inside• And the envelopes are left unsigned (unlike in

Western culture)• Red symbolizes good luck- other colors are

used for other occasions

• Envelopes are given to younger generations by their parents, grandparents, friends, relatives, and sometimes close neighbors. Only those who are unmarried receive the envelopes.

• The amount you give depends on the child’s age (the older you are the more money you get) and it depends on the relationship between the two people (the closer you are the more money you give)

• The giving of the envelopes is taken seriously. You must offer the envelope with both hands, bow, and say “新年快乐”

• The receiver must accept the envelope with both hands, bow, and say “恭喜发财” or “新年快乐”

• Then the receiver must open the envelope in a private place, unlike in Western culture.

More Mannerisms…

• Knives and scissors are avoided during the New Year because they might sever the good luck, so the cooking is mostly done ahead of time.

• Everyone cleans and decorates their house
