Chinese New Year is a little early this year, I just can\u2019t wait for this lovely holiday! If you\u2019re curious what people do for this important festival, I have some things on my list that I can share with you. Here are some:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s kind of boring, but one thing that\u2019s even more boring is having to repeat some formula words all the time to family or friends. If you have a Chinese neighbor or friend, you can try these phrases with them and at least you can make them happy.. Let\u2019s check these words.<\/p>\n
\u606d\u559c\u53d1\u8d22(g\u014dngx\u01d0 f\u0101c\u00e1i<\/span>) May you come into a good fortune! <\/p>\n I think these Chinese New Year phrases are enough to meet your social needs during the holiday. However, you may already know that Chinese culture is a little superstitious. So we have a lot of taboos for New Year that you should be aware of. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n Some of these taboos we can avoid but others may be out of your control. So you may wonder, how about when a kid breaks a cup? Don\u2019t worry you can still fix it with a simple phrase. Read after me:<\/p>\n \u5c81\u5c81\u5e73\u5b89(su\u00ec su\u00ec p\u00edng \u0101n<\/span>) Peace all year round<\/p>\n Since the first two character \u201c\u5c81(su\u00ec<\/span>)\u5c81(su\u00ec<\/span>) year around\u201d sounds like the word \u201c\u788e(su\u00ec<\/span>)(broken)\u201d, we have changed the unlucky accident into a good wish. Or how about if someone says one of the unlucky words? You can say this phrase right away:<\/p>\n \u7ae5\u8a00\u65e0\u5fcc(t\u00f3ng w\u00fa w\u00fa j\u00ec<\/span>) It literally means \u201cchildren say everything but take no offense\u201d. It\u2019s kind like \u201cknock on woods\u201d.<\/p>\n With this saying, no matter what you say, it won\u2019t come true. These are a few things that you can take with you to wish people well and bring luck and fortune to them even if taboos are broken.<\/p>\n Now you know what Chinese families do, what they try to avoid and those magic words you can use them to bless others for the holiday. Also, you are ready to save the blessings of others when they may do one of the many taboos. Well I am ready for a long break with the upcoming holiday and I wish you all:<\/p>\n \u65b0\u6625\u5feb\u4e50(x\u012bn ch\u016bn ku\u00e0i l\u00e8<\/span>)\uff01<\/strong> Chinese New Year is a little early this year, I just can\u2019t wait for this lovely holiday!
