Do You Know the Legends behind the Tradition of Celebrating Chinese New Year?
Posted by Yajuan ZhangDuring the practice for our special assembly, it is an absolute enjoyment and inspiration to see how fifth grade students have immersed themselves into a totally different culture and were quite excited and confident about sharing the legends of the tradition to celebrate Chinese New Year with the whole school community.
“Eight” is the lucky number in Chinese culture. Here in grade 5 Mandarin class, we happen to have eight students. The lucky number makes four pairs of students to introduce four pieces of the tradition, such as pasting greeting children posters, hanging up the fortune god, pasting the kitchen god, and the symbolic decoration of fish. I hope you will join us for today’s assembly to learn more about the legends and traditions – all the stories will be told there!
