Chinese New Year in America

Happy Chinese New Year! Today's video is a special card for the New Year. On the first day of this Thursday year, our members went to several celebration events both in Long Island and in New York City. We summarized the fun parts all in this one video. Let's take a look! This is Kohol, where the celebration event is held. The inside is decorated with all sorts of New Year designs, like the red letterings. Hi, Shelly! This is the riddle section, which is my favorite! Riddles are usually written on colorful papers, and here they choose the red ones because of the New Year. The rule for this game is when you have the answer, you simply take the riddle down and go to the judge. If you get it right, you win a prize. Me and Shelly spent quite a long time here, and if you have the chance, you should definitely try it! This is a sliding block puzzle, and the characters on these blocks come from the book Romans of the Three Kingdoms, which is a really famous historical novel from China. Red is the predominant color used in New Year celebration. This Chinese word is called Fu, which means blessing and happiness. Besides, Kepler is also a really important element of the New Year. And here they are learning the traditional Chinese painting to draw a rooster. One amazing part of Chinese painting is that you can use the ink and brush to create different blocks. By the way, do you know how the clock bell sounds like? It goes like, um, well, I'm not going to do that. New Year celebration is filled with the art of paper. There are not only the calligraphy and painting, but also the paper cutting and the paper lantern. This section is clay sculpture, and she is making a snake. I think snake was the animal three or four years ago. Am I right? The package passed out during the New Year celebration, especially to the children. They are called Jia Sui Tian, which means to suppress the evil spirit. Fruity people like me cannot live a life without snacks. Candy! I was crying when I saw it! And that's pretty much the New Year celebration in Long Island. I'm going to pass it to Yolanda. She's now in the city. Hey guys, this is Chinatown New York City. It's Chinese Lunar New Year right here.
