The Lunar New Year begins Sunday. Here are tasty ways to celebrate.
The holiday, which begins Sunday, lasts 15 days and is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the solar calendar used in the Western world. Celebrated by nearly 20 percent of people around the world, the holiday may include having dinner with family, gifting red envelopes, or enjoying fireworks and other performances.
“Lunar New Year is about rebirth and a fresh start to the new year, just like the Western New Year,” says David Uy, executive director of the Chinese American Museum Foundation in Washington. “So the foods follow a track of celebrating family, goodwill and love.” Foods and their meanings are central to celebrating Lunar New Year. Here are four food items connected to the holiday, their meanings and where you may be able to find them.Oranges are tasty and great sources of vitamin C, but they also hold special meaning during the new year. Uy says that citrus fruit “represents a sweet life.” Since fresh fruit was traditionally difficult to find in wintertime, it became a rare gift representing prosperity and the richness in life.
While you enjoy one or more of the above, wish friends and family “xīnnián kuàilè!” . That is Mandarin for “new year happiness!”
