Valerie's colour, symbol and image for Chinese New Year













I chose this picture as red is a colour that symbolises prosperity and good wealth in the Chinese culture. There was also a story about how new year was begun by chasing away the monster, Nian, from eating the villages in the village by hanging up things with the colour red to frighten it away. 


I chose this symbol as it represents spring in mandarin. To me, spring means a brand new year and good luck, therefore, i chose this symbol to represent the start of the year on the Chinese lunar calendar, Chinese New Year.


I chose this picture as i felt that having a reunion dinner on New Year Eve is very important as it is the time where a family can come together for a meal. Nowadays as people get busier with their work and their own families, we tend to neglect making time to talk to one another and sitting around a table for a simple meal together, therefore i chose this picture as i felt that the significance of having reunion dinner once a year is very important.
