Becoming Chinese The words behind Chinese New Year traditions
Chinese New Year is marked by traditions that carry deep cultural meaning, including the red decorations seen on doors across the country. From Spring Festival couplets to the Fu character, these symbols express hopes for good fortune, happiness and new beginnings in the year ahead.
Understanding the language behind these traditions offers deeper insight into their significance. In this video, learn three important Chinese New Year keywords: 对联 (duì lián), traditional couplets that express wishes for the coming year; 福 (fú), the character symbolizing blessing and good fortune; and 福到了 (fú dào le), a phrase created when the Fu character is displayed upside down, expressing the arrival of good fortune.
As China welcomes the Year of the Horse, these traditions continue to evolve, connecting heritage with modern creativity and everyday life.
