Chinese New Year 2015

The year of the sheep was celebrated last February 09,

2015 by our tsinoy countrymen with so much pomp that

the streets were full of tsinoy and Filipinos alike.

The streets were lined with the traditional

tikoys(now with so much variety and colors.

The scene was filled with the cacophony of

colors red,yellow and lately the color violet

is increasingly dominant,much influenced

by the very successful Eng bee tin brand which the

owner's son in a TV interview said they owed much to

their novel product, the Ube hopia.

The variety of foods and fruits gave the

street of binondo a real fiesta atmosphere

with foreign and local tourists having the

opportunity to take their pictures and

selfies taken with the very colorful

backgrounds to send to their friends here

and abroad.It was also a rare chance to be

able to sample the Chinese dishes and

delicacies available now in only one area

to savor.

The different Dragons with their crazy colors serenade

some of the bigger establishments and this gave the

hordes of photographers,pros and amateurs alike to

have their photo ops.even the ordinary folks with their

smartphone were not to be denied.the festival is a huge

success and showed our intertwined culture with our

Tsinoy brothers.

Session Road, Baguio City: A focused band

member marches along as they perform

their music number.

As part of a friendly competition, participating

groups adopt a thematic look for the event. The

group with the best over-all presentation wins.

Participants perform dance

routines as they periodically

stop along the parade route,

much to the delight of the

crowd.

From colorful handheld

to gigantic float like

lanterns, creativity

abounds in the

parade.

Spectators look on as they record the

lantern parade with their digital

I am sure that with the proliferation of Korean

telenovelas these days, We are more or less

familiar with the modern and ancient Korean

culture.we love their modern love stories but

also their legendary characters on their historical

novelas.we can't help but admire their costumes

that have its distinct difference from their Chinese

and Japanese counterpart .If the Chinese have

their hanfu,and the Japanese have their kimonos,

then the Koreans call their costumes as "Handok".

How many have seen "jewel in the palace"? This is

the TV series that opened up our consciousness

to the Korean culture.

Hanbok,the traditional clothing of Korea was

established as a part of the unique living culture

of Korea, inuenced by the geographical and

climatic nature of the Korean peninsula and

handed down throughout the years to present

times.hanbok is also referred to as Korean

traditional clothing or folk clothing.

Hanbok basically consists of a jeogori(jacket) and

bank(trousers),showing northern Scythian

natures.the style of hanbok is closer to the style

of the nomadic tribes of the border countries of

western China who wore jeogori and bank, than

that of the agricultural society of China where

people wore jeogori and China(skirt),the origins

of hanbok can be found recorded on a wall painting

of an ancient tomb of Goguryeo.

HANBOK DEFINED- raymond lim

The basics of hanbo are similar

to the basic clothing of the

northern horse riding nomadic

tribes and was developed to be

suitable for a cold climate and

a nomadic life.jeogori stretches

down to the waist,with long and

narrow sleeves for both men and

women.Koreans wore wide or

narrow baji,adjusted their dress

with a belt or a leather strap,

put jeolpungmo or dugeon over

their head and wore long boots

called Wha that were made for

horse riding.

The clothing culture of Korea

was inuenced by new clothing

cultures throughout the multiple

invasions from foreign countries

but its. basic structure has been

well preserved in history.

The Korean Cultural Festival is designed to encourage more

Koreans to wear the country's traditional costume and enhance

their love of things uniquely korean as part of the efforts made by

the ministry of culture sports and tourism.presently there is a

serious effort by the korean government to commercialize and

globalize the country's six leading items namely hangeul(korean

alphabet), hansik(korean traditional

food),hanbok(korean traditional

clothing),hanok(korean traditional

housing)hanji(korean traditional

paper)and hangul eumak.(korean

traditional music.)
