people
are
supposed
to
stay
up
the
whole
night
on
the
30th
day
of
the
12th
month
in
Lunar Calendar.
在年三十晚上，中国人一般都会整晚通宵守岁。

The folk saying goes like:
三十儿晚上熬一宿。

俗语叫做“三十儿晚上熬一宿”。

In ancient times, there was a monster called
年

(nian, or year) that would harm people
。

Later, people found out that the monster routinely came out on New Year
’
s Eve, so people began
to get together on this day, staying up and chatting, hoping for peaceful passage of the time
。

后来，
人们发现怪兽会在每年的除夕出来，所以人们在那一天聚 在一起，通宵聊天，希望安
全度过这段时间。


The
custom
of
staying
up
symbolises
the
warding
off
of
all
diseases
and
disasters,
wishing
for
good luck in the New Year
。

熬夜的习俗，寓意着在新年远离疾病与灾难，期许着好运到来。


Nowadays, Chinese people will rush back home and have reunion dinner with family members on
this day
。

如今，中国人会在除夕夜回家，与家人团聚，吃团圆饭。


春节双语习俗盘点：大年初一串门走亲戚

Today is the 1st day of the 1st month in Lunar Calendar
。


On the first day, the oldest and most senior members will be visited, the visits serve to strengthen
family kinship
。


This practice is called
拜年

( bai nian, or wishing somebody a Happy New Year)
。


The visitor will bring a small gift to the household which will be visited- usually two mandarin
oranges, as the fruit symbolises gold, hence wealth and good fortune
。


Giving oranges in pairs because of the preference of number two in Chinese culture as there is an
idiom saying
好事成双

( hao shi cheng shuang, good things come in pairs)
。


Children or unmarried will receive
红包

(hong bao, or red packet) from the senior
。


The red colour of the envelope symbolises good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits
。


It is traditional to put brand new notes inside red packets and also to avoid opening the packets in
front of the relatives
。


There is also the tradition of welcoming guests with tea and sweet treats, such as sugared fruits
which are supposed to sweeten one
’
s upcoming year
。


Sweets and fruits are served on a round tray - the form resembling togetherness and hence the tray
is most commonly translated as the
“Tray of Togetherness”
(
八宝盒，
ba bao he)
。


The sweets will be arranged in eight units, as the number eight symbolises luck as the Chinese
word 8 (ba) sounds similar to prosperity (fa,
发
)
。


In addition, the fruit pomelo is always consumed at Chinese New Year as its Chinese name
柚

(you) sounds exactly same to the word
‘
to have
’

(
有，

you) in the language. This fruit signifies
abundance in Chinese food symbolism
。

On
this
day,
married
daughters

similar
to
the

of
prosperity
comes
(
旺来，

yellow
which is a close colour to gold especially once the pineapple jam is cooked.
“黄梨”听上去很像
是“旺来”，而黄梨也是黄色的，十分接 近金色，特别当黄梨酱被烹调之后。
