  • Chinese New Year
    Chinese New Year Kung Hei Fat Choy That’s ‘Happy New Year’ in Chinese. Hi. We are going to tell you all about the Chinese New Year. One in every six people in the world celebrate Chinese New Year. Customs vary but the main idea is to remember family and wish everyone peace and prosperity in the coming year. Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. It is the biggest and most important festival in China and is celebrated in Chinese communities all over the world. The date of Chinese New Year is based on the lunar calendar and the date changes each year. The first day of the New Year falls between 21st January and 20th February. Celebrations last for 15 days from Chinese New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival. There are several legends about how the Chinese New Year came about. One legend is that Lord Buddha called together all the animals in the animal kingdom to say goodbye before he left Earth. Only twelve came. He rewarded them by naming a year after each one in the order they arrived. Another legend tells the story of a swimming race. Many years ago there was a rat, an ox, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig. The animals argued about who was to be first in the cycle of years. They asked the Gods to decide. No I should ! I should be first. But I’m the most important! The Gods decided that there should be a swimming race.

  • Chinese New Year Greetings
    Chinese New Year Greetings The Chinese New Year is often accompanied by roucious greetings, often refered to as 吉 祥話 (Jíxiánghùa), or loosely translated as auspicious words or phrases. Some of the most common examples may include: • Traditional Chinese: 新年快樂; Simplified Chinese: 新年快乐; pinyin: Xīnnián kuàilè; Hokkien POJ: Sin-nî khòai-lok.̍ A more contemporary greeting reflective of western influences, it literally translates from the greeting "Happy New Year" more common in the west. • Traditional Chinese: 恭喜發財; Simplified Chinese: 恭喜发财; pinyin: Gōngxǐ fācái; Hokkien Keong hee huat chye (POJ: Kiong-hí hoat-châi); Cantonese: Kung hei fat choi (also spelt kung hei fat choy or kung hey fat choi); Hakka: Kung hee fat choi, which loosely translates to "Congratulations and be prosperous." Often mistakenly assumed to be synonymous with "Happy new year", its usage dates back several centuries, with the Cantonese transliteration said to have first entered English usage in the 1800s, for instance. While the first two words of this phrase had a much longer historical significance (legend has it that the congratulatory messages were traded for surviving the ravaging beast of Nian, although in practical terms in may also involve surviving the harsh winter conditions), the last two words were added later as capitalism and consumerism ideas took greater significance in Chinese societies around the world. The saying is now commonly heard in English speaking communities for greetings during Chinese New Year in parts of the world where there is a sizeable Chinese- speaking community, for instance in Australia, Canada and America among others. In other English-speaking communities with a larger Chinese-speaking population, the Mandarin version tend to prevail especially when multiple dialect groups exist, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore.

  • Changing Face of Festival by Shan Juan (China Daily) Updated: 2011-02-02 07:05
    Holiday Food Changing face of festival By Shan Juan (China Daily) Updated: 2011-02-02 07:05 A woman selects dishes for the lunar new year's eve dinner while reserving a table at Huibinlou Hotel in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, on Nov 23, 2010. Gu Jun / Xinhua Spring Festival celebrations nowadays are more about convenience than tradition, Shan Juan reports Many things have changed in Chinese society in the last three decades, thanks to China's unprecedented economic growth. Changes have also taken place in the way Chinese celebrate festivals and the food that is served on such occasions. And that includes Spring Festival, by far the most important festival for Chinese people. The festival, equivalent to Christmas in the West, begins on the first day of the first month on the Chinese lunar calendar and ends traditionally on the 15th day, known as Lantern Festival. Apart from the signature festive elements, from cultural activities such as dragon/lion dance and fireworks to decorations like new year couplets (auspicious sayings written on red paper) and red paper cuttings, the food eaten during Spring Festival is the most important. Traditionally, the festival has revolved around the family dinner. Festive delicacies served during Spring Festival differ in North and South China. Dumplings, or jiaozi, are a must for people in northern China, while people in the southern part prefer niangao, sweet steamed glutinous rice pudding. Jiaozi, the crescent-shaped dumpling, dates from AD 500. The tradition of eating jiaozi continued in South and North China for hundreds of years before southerners switched to niangao, because rice is the staple in the southern parts.

  • OCAW E-Newsletter Feb. 2013
    E-Newsletter of the Organization of Chinese American Women February 2013 (from Linda Devine) Happy New Year to all! I hope that you concluded 2012 with a wonderful holiday season. Happy Chinese New Year as well! This is our first e-newsletter of 2013, and again I wish to thank everyone for their contributions. My continued thanks to my husband Ed for the photo preparation work. In this issue, I have created a section called “From and About Our Members.” I have continually encouraged individual members to submit items about themselves or others, that they would like to share with other OCAW members. When I receive such pieces, I will welcome publishing them here, and I urge you to consider sending me information. Suggestions or recommendations for any aspects of the e-newsletter are always welcome, and you can reach me at: [email protected] . Opera International (from Muriel Hom) The bulk of Opera International's remaining funds were used to finance last year’s production of Lucia di Lammermoor in August. The company’s account now stands at only $1,794.65, so no opera is being planned for 2013 unless we receive a large grant. Tenor Yingxi Zhang, who performed leading roles in our last two operas and who received excellent reviews, offered to perform for Opera International without compensation. However, he did not realize that we would need a minimum of $100,000 to produce an opera.
