Survey All about the Chinese New Year Column by The Post's Jan Perry Where can you see (and of course hear) 400,000 firecrackers going off at once? It has to be the kick-off of the Chinese New Year. I know, the year officially began on Thursday, but you haven't missed it all yet. And the great news is you don't have to travel to the Great Wall to be a part of the party. For the seventh year, Cathay Kitchen at 8049 Connector Drive in Florence, Ky., is celebrating in the traditional way (even though a day or two late) with flashing firecrackers outside and festive foods inside. The big light-up is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. Saturday, but before you go, you might want to visit some sites on the Internet to learn a little more about Chinese New Year in general and the new Year of the Monkey specifically, including traditions (greet friends and strangers by saying "Gung Hay Fat Choy!") taboos (never say the word "four" it sounds too much like the Chinese word for death) and superstitions (using a knife or scissors on New Year's Day will cut off your good luck). Let the firecrackers fly.

NEWS ARCHIVE Girl Scouts Celebrate Asian New Year's Traditions January 23, 2001 By Ellen Christie, staff writer The Lunar New Year, which starts on January 24, is the Year of the Snake according to the Asian zodiac. In China, the Lunar New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. The names of New Year's celebrations vary among countries: Tet is the New Year for Vietnemese, while Koreans celebrate Sol-nal and Tibetans commemorate Losar. Girl Scout troops are honoring this celebration of diversity by taking part in traditional customs such as exchanging red envelopes for good luck, enjoying special dumplings and Chinese New Year cake with sister Girl Scouts, and attending parades. Here's just a snapshot of how Girl Scouts are celebrating across the nation: A Magazine , but most importantly, they helped start a new custom. In Renton, Washington, six-year-old Brownie Girl Scouts will enjoy a Chinese New Year's event at a local restaurant, including a traditional dragon dance and fireworks. The Girl Scouts, both Asian and non-Asian, first learned the meaning of the activities in their troop meeting and will gain a greater understanding firsthand through this celebration. The History of the Holiday The tradition of observing the conquest of a mythical monster from ancient times in China has been carried on from generation to generation during Chinese New Year's celebrations. In other Asian nations, the focus has been based on agricultural cycles. Across the United States, many Asian-Americans begin celebrating Chinese New Year on January 24 and continue with festivities both large and small, for the 15 days that follow.

73. Chinese New Year Zodiac Wreath chinese new year Zodiac Wreath. I m working on posting a photo of the finished craft, but for now you ll have to use your imagination by looking at the template http://www.dltk-kids.com/world/china/mcalendarwreath.html

Home Search Chinese New Year Zodiac Wreath I'm working on posting a photo of the finished craft, but for now you'll have to use your imagination by looking at the template pieces. Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer white construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, crayons and a big paper plate (supper size). When affixing the characters, you can put them in order if you like: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Print out the template of choice. Colour pieces, as necessary. Cut out the 12 characters. This step may require adult assistance and can be done prior to making the craft with the children. I didn't actually try to cut out the shapes perfectly -they're pretty fiddly. I just cut circles out around each character Cut the center out of the paper plate to leave a round "donut" shape. This will form the base of the wreath. OPTIONAL: You may paint it a background color if you like (red or gold/yellow would work nicely). Having said that, the figures take up 100% of the space, so you won't really see the color. Paste the characters onto the paper plate.

More Chinese Wall Hanging Submitted by Candice What You Need: Paper Paint mix with glue and soap Yarn Popsicle Stick What You Do: Show children a Chinese wall hanging that families all over China use to decorate their walls. Explain to them that Chinese letters don't look like our letters and they are written up and down (not left to right English). Then give each child a long piece of paper and have them make their own Chinese Wall Hanging. They can make Chinese characters with a paintbrush and use yarn and a Popsicle stick (or pencil) to hang it. Idea: Rice Painting - Have your children paint with a glue/paint mixture. They can then sprinkle rice in this paint. This dries really shine and makes a neat design

CHINESE NEW YEAR Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors. The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family. The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
