#scmp #China #LunarNewYear
I remember when I travel to visit my mom parents when Chinese New Year arrive. It is such a great time and not only that but also it is an opportunity to relax and hang out with your family
I'm Chinese but I'm totally dreaded to celebrate lunar new year. Wish I could be a kid again. Back then, celebrating lunar new year was the happiest moment.
I'm not chinese, but yea, celebrating Christmas or birthdays when we are young is so fun unlike today :
Hi! I'm learning Chinese in the university (1st year) and on February 1st we will do a programme about Chinese New Year. I tried to look for information on the internet but it's either very basic or fully in Chinese.ಥ‿ಥ
Can you please give us some tips or recommendations on what we can do?
@@yourhighness6790 Uh.
Wear red, eat dumplings, eat fish, eat chicken, GET TOGETHER WITH FAMILY (VERY IMPORTANT).
The fish, chicken, and dumplings are all eaten at one big family meal called Nian Ye Fan (New Years Evening Meal).
You might also put door stickers on the side of the door, and also stick a fu sticker upside down on the door.
Hanging red lanterns around is also a thing.
These are the basics, at least.

Who would’ve known our lives would change forever just a few days after this !!!!
Hope no one gets that virus thats going around.
it doesn't matter cause people died at its early stage its already done...if the virus wanted to be a epidemic it should've spread before killing people this is plaque inc 101.
Yea same
@@tommycastro9424 Oh lol that's what I thought too
badhabit too late. Don’t be naive
@@tommycastro9424 Depends....in vampire mode you go around killing people for points to make your vampire stronger to defeat the Templars before upgrading any of your symptoms
Actually, it's Chinese New Year.
Such videos are the reason I subscribed to SCMP in the first place. Hope to have many such videos!

Happy Chinese New Year to you all.
🎉🧧🎊
Looks like a wonderful event. Happy Chinese New Year to all!
Happy Chinese new year, and happy lunar new year to whoever celebrates it!
@@starriedollie1831 Why? It's the news about Chinese celebrating Chinese new year.
@shin chan You are a CHAN crying out loud. Can't even embrace the Chinese tradition anymore? Remember China was like today's US not too long ago, and it dragged itself from extreme poverty to No 2 economic entity in merely 3 decades! Yes there are problems but lots to be proud of.
@shin chan Don't mind them Shin. I like to stand in the cold in NY while waiting for someone ball to drop down to celebrate the new year.
@@starriedollie1831 never heard lunar new year except this few years.
@@MichaelChuanPG none chinese trying steal our traditions
Safe journey to everyone who are travelling to spend new year with their family n loving one . Happy new year .

Everything is so magical! I love the lunar new year celebrations 🥰
Epic performance. Happy New Year OX. Lucky!!!
I married a Chinese women, so I know the story of Chinese new year, I used to tell the story to our daughter;
An evil dragoon "Ni~yen" on the darkest night of the year when the moon was absent from the sky, would sneak into villages at night and cause chaos for the people. People would fear this dragon till a wise man came along and told them how to ward off this evil dragon. Making loud noise, wearing red & fire. When the evil dragon showed up this time the villagers banged on drums, wore the color read from head to toe and lit fire crackers and fire lanterns which scared off this evil dragon.
I love the culture and the celebration of life associated with ringing in the Chinese New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year. Greeting from Indonesia. 春节快乐。
Hpy CNY for people around the world who celebrated
Happy Chinese New Year 2020 .Wish you a prosperous and healthy year.
Happy Chinese New Year to all!
If available, please make documentaries related to Chinese New Year celebrated by overseas chinese , such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and etc.
Hey we are here in US, too... And also latin america. Why u forgot bout that? Dont be selfish
Mauritius and Madagascar of Africa has Chinese communities too. So noisy to live near them.
Let's remember also the Caribbean!
@@irritatedanglosaxon1705 I am so sorry for that... I prioritise these countries ( Mentioned above by myself ) due to Chinese being a very notable ethnic in these countries , with Singapore having 76.2 % of Chinese population , Malaysia having 24.6 % of Chinese population , & Indonesia having 1.2 % of Chinese population (yet still having the greatest impact among other ethnics of Indonesia on Indonesia's economy) . Chinese in both of these countries contribute a lot (maybe the most) in developing these countries' economies.
@》H0NDU《 3146 Thanks for clarifying... I really appreciate it a lot.
It looks so wonderful and Rich
Inspirational video... Work hard play hard... Welcome Rat year with blessing and opportunity for all...

Not Lunar New Year, is Chinese New Year!!!
农历是阴阳合历 lunisolar calender ，就算越南人和韩国人一起庆祝，也是Chinese New Year ，尊重一下当年发明的人。
Correction: This is Chinese New Year. The Chinese lunar calendar originated from China, including the famous lion and dragon dances. Please do not misappropriate Chinese culture. China is an ancient civilization with vast and great influences in many countries. Vietnam, Japan and South Korea (once a tributary state of China's) and many other Asian countries had adopted the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Ten thousand 福 blessings during the Year of the Rat from #TempleofBrendaSong
🇨🇳福👲🏻福🐭福🐲福🍊福🍜福💴福🏮福🧧🎉🎊福🇻🇳
there’s been a move to call this day Lunar New Year (though in the spirit of scientific accuracy, it should be called Lunisolar New Year as the Chinese calendar months are based on the Moon’s cycles but the years are based on the Sun’s cycles).
But even that has its own issues.
You see, there are other lunar calendars in the world that start the year on a different day to the Chinese calendar. The Islamic New Year, the Burmese New year and many many other new years are also technically lunar new years.
请你们注意一下不是lunar因为中国日历是lunisolar。
I'm born in the year of the dog
Still using their little dragons
No place celebrates the New Year like China
Its the most important festival i think

Happy Year of the Mouse............................virus.
All I can see I coronovirus having the time of its life.
PUBG Nation I...Bad comment but it’s funny, and you might be right.
hoppity hoppity the coronovirus is on their property
Disgrace for this celebration as Chinese people are dropping dead in the streets while 40 million quarantined military troops and armored vehicles dispatched.
ok boomer
@@cookiezone4472 that didn't age well
I love the how they serve and eat family style, but with all the viruses please be reasonable and take precautions to be safe. Communal eating and sharing food like that isn't safe anymore. What our ancestors could do doesn't mean we can. Safe food handling has to be a priority for China!
Beautiful celebrations. But I can't help being salty because China spread the virus everywhere because of which other countries couldn't celebrate anything (Like we, in India couldn't celebrate holi) and now they're out here celebrating new year.
Sorry, I just really wanted to celebrate holi. 😞
I am REALLY late but this before the mass amounts of cases started to form and it started to become main stream so at the time the people of china had 0 idea that this would lead to this
its looks scary...
*Wuhan Virus has joined the chat*
Please don't travel to other countries during this outbreak. The American people are begging for a Chinese travel ban but our politicians could care less.
They have their own disease to deal with
Ikr, like if you want the world to be safe then at least ban it until it's been worked out...cause there's always a next time! I hope that it doesn't spread...
where is your American hero come to China to save the world
No. It’s a time where Chinese people go home instead of going out
