  • CNY-Activity-Pack-2021.Pdf
    This is an activity pack to learn about the culture and traditions of Chinese New Year as observed in Malaysia. Due to the pandemic, many Girl Guide/Girl Scout units may not be able to meet face to face, therefore, leaders/units may adapt the activities to be done by individuals at home or in a group through virtual events. Suggested activities are simple and accompanied by references for leaders/units to do further research on each topic. A couple of references are suggested for each topic and these are not exhaustive. Leaders/units can do more research to find out more information. Individuals/units can choose activities they like from the list. It is not necessary to do all the activities listed in each topic. Most important is enjoy them with people whom you care! Due to the lack of time, we were not able to turn this into a nicely designed activity pack. We hope that by learning about culture, we could develop better understanding between people of different ethnicities as part of the peacebuilding process, and at the same time, having fun. Please note that the activities and descriptions are mostly based on the authors’ own knowledge and experience plus information from the internet. We apologize in advance should there be any parts that are inaccurate or cause discomfort in anyone. We would also like to record appreciation to the websites we referred in compiling information for this page. This is a volunteer project, not through any organisations, therefore there is no official badge linked to this pack.

  • The History of Red Envelopes
    The History of the Red Envelopes and How to Use them in the Year of the Rooster 2017. (Hong Bao, Lai See, Ang Pow, Sae Bae Don, Ang Bao) There will be further 2017 updates on our Facebook and Feng Shui blog so bookmark them now below… © 2017 Updated by Daniel Hanna Are you really prepared for 2017? For children and teenagers celebrating Chinese New Year, the Ang Pow is a very exciting part of the celebrations. Even though they are often referred to as red envelopes they are also coloured in a golden colour as red and gold to the Chinese are seen as very auspicious. Red envelopes have many different names; they are more commonly known as “Ang Pow” “red packets” “lai see” “laisee” “hung bao” or “hung-bao”. These envelopes are seen as very lucky when given as a gift and even more fortunate when they contain some money. The main use of red envelopes is for Chinese New Year, birthdays, weddings or any other important event. In recent years, a lot of companies have added their own take to the Ang Pow by adding their company branding on the front which may not necessarily bring good fortune to the receiver although it is nice to see western companies taking on eastern traditions. Some very popular Ang Pow’s in China these days are made with cartoon characters on the front such as hello kitty and Pokémon and you can find them all across the world. The image on the front of an Ang Pow is traditionally a symbolisation of blessings and good wishes of long life, success and good health to the receiver of the envelope and is a great honour to receive.

  • The Changing Path of Chinese New Year
    The changing path of Chinese New Year BA-Thesis in English Linda Zhang September 2017 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið English The changing path of Chinese New Year Linda Zhang BA-Thesis in English Linda Zhang Kt.: 220179-2229 Leiðbeinandi: Magnús Björnsson September 2017 Abstract When speaking of the Chinese Spring Festival (also known as the Chinese New Year), people are often reminded of their childhoods. Looking back, the middle age and older generations) in the past, many people´s experience of the Chinese Spring Festival was much richer then than it is now. Today, most people think of the Spring Festival as free time from work or school, an opportunity for just eating and drinking. They observe the holiday period because it's a tradition they learned from their parents and grandparents. Unfortunately, the Spring Festival has lost some of its cultural base, In any case, the meaning of the Spring Festival is gradually disappearing (Tang, 2017) In this thesis I am addressing myself to the scrutiny of the customs and traditions of the Chinese Spring Festival. As a celebration it can be viewed as the nation’s traditional culture in action. Examining it helps us to understand the ordinary Chinese people who celebrate the New Year festival with their families, carrying out its customs and activites. Through close study it is also possible to discover what part of this heritage is important to them still in the modern world. My study also aims to explain the changees, and different stages of improvement, in the living standards of Chinese people as those have formed and developed with the passing of time.

  • The History of the Red Envelopes and How They Should Be Used in the Year of the Yin Earth Pig 2019
    The History of the Red Envelopes and How they should be used in the Year of the Yin Earth Pig 2019 © Written by Michael Hanna and revised by Daniel Hanna 2019 Are you really prepared for 2019? For children and unmarried adults in China and other Asian countries around the world, the red envelope evokes feelings of excitement, expectation, and happiness. The envelopes are distributed as gifts to children and single adults during special occasions such as Chinese New Year or weddings and will if you're fortunate enough, contain some money which can accumulate to a nice sum. The money will be given in envelopes which are red and gold coloured to symbolise good luck and ward off evil spirits. Other names for the red envelope are 'ang pow', 'red packets,' lai see', 'laisee,' or 'hung-bao.' You may have noticed that many companies have started to offer promotional ang pow's around Chinese New Year and may contain discount vouchers for their product. I'm personally unsure about this as it seems like a promotional gimmick although it's always great to see the integration of some eastern traditions into western society. Some very popular Ang Pow's in China these days have cartoon characters on the front such as Hello Kitty. Ang Pow's will usually have a beautiful pattern or image on the front which is placed to promote blessings and wishes of a long, successful, prosperous, and healthy life for the receiver of the envelope; when selecting the Ang Pow's that we give out with orders, it is not unlikely that we will turn down around 30 - 40 designs before picking one as the image on the front has great importance to us.
