農曆新年 nóng lì xīn nián Chinese New Year

農曆新年 nóng lì xīn nián Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year this year is on 12 February. We will say auspicious greetings to each other during Chinese New Year, like wishing you prosperous and healthy etc.  On the other hand, as fish and leftovers have the same pronunciation, we will eat fish in Chinese New Year Eve dinner.  This carries the meaning of having leftovers every year, which is an analogy of having savings every year.

今年的農曆新年在二月十二日。新年時大家會說一些吉利的說話,如恭喜發財 ˴ 龍馬精神等等。

也因為魚跟餘同音,我們也會在年三十晚團年飯時吃魚,取其年年有餘的意頭,意指每年都有

儲蓄。
