Online Celebration Guidelines for Participants

           Lunar New Year is a time of celebration and a time to set our eyes toward the new year with good wishes and sentiments! As we welcome the year of the Ox, we are also welcoming a year of good fortune and hard work. The bright lights, the sounds, and the bustle of Lunar New Year festivities will look a little different this year. During quarantine, many have created their personal opportunities to get creative in their own homes. The Chinese Language program also invites you to get creative as we celebrate one of the biggest holidays in East Asia, “apart, but together!”

年糕汤 Niángāo Tāng

An example paragraph from a low-level learner:

每年,我们都会做年糕汤来吃,这年糕看起来很像硬币。吃年糕汤,我希望大家都能变得更有钱,更健康,更开心。

“廣東臘味煲仔飯” Guănddōng Làwèi Bāozăifàn

廣東話 laap6 mei2 bou1 zai2 faan6

An example paragraph from an intermediate-level learner

「無臘味,沒年味」。以前,為了保存宰殺後吃不完的肉,人們用鹽醃制保存,並把好的東西留到一個特別的時間才吃。過年了,吃上美味的臘味煲仔飯,期許美好的未來。我希望能在新的一年裡,保持樂觀的生活態度。

“火锅” Huǒguō 

An example paragraph from an advanced-level learner: 

新春佳节,本应万家团聚。或许疫情阻隔了我们的步伐,但我们相隔千里心不离。在此,我想借这“火锅”,希望我们终能在新一年里的某一刻,围在一起,生一盘火,架一口锅,上一桌菜。在蒸腾的热气,翻滚的汤底里,放着自己爱吃的食材,聊着,唱着,团团圆圆,红红火火,健健康康。
