Why do Chinese people keep saying ‘gong xi fa cai (wishing you to get rich)’?
One of the most common New Year greetings in Chinese is “gong xi fa cai,” meaning “wishing you to get rich.” Behind this phrase stands one of the most important figures of the Chinese New Year: the God of Wealth.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Years, people traditionally welcome the God of Wealth. That’s also why many businesses choose this day to reopen for the year. If you want to understand Chinese culture a little better – to start becoming Chinese – click into the video and meet the one behind this iconic New Year greeting. The artworks shown in this video are from the New Year exhibition at Tsinghua University Art Museum: Spring across heaven and earth, blessings within homes.
