Hey readers! :) I am going to share about what I feel are the colour, symbol and image that can express my feelings and thoughts for Chinese New Year.
The colour to represent Chinese New Year. It's common, I know, but I still feel that red represents my feelings for Chinese New Year the best. When Chinese New Year was approaching about a week ago, I was feeling very happy and excited. Red which represents happiness, at that time, reminded me of the fabulous Chinese New Year decorations, the traditional foods, the red packets that are waiting to be given... Red just reminds me of the kind of happiness I always had experienced and felt during Chinese New Year. I also feel warmth when I see the colour red. It makes me think of the times during Chinese New Year when my family, relatives, friends and I got to be together and have more time to communicate. I am reminded of the warmth with my close and loved ones, the joy and satisfaction of being with them during Chinese New Year as we enjoyed our talks and foods together. Hence, I feel that red is the best colour to represent my thoughts and feelings for Chinese New Year.
The symbol I would like to represent Chinese New Year is the red packet. As we young people love to receive many red packets from our relatives during Chinese New Year, the first thing that instinctively comes to my mind when I am reminded of Chinese new year is the red packets. Red packet is something that I am unable to forget during Chinese New Year since money is quite significant to me :p... And when I am given one, I also feel very happy and moreover, Chinese New Year is supposed to be a joyous occasion isn't it? So I feel that the happiness of collecting my hong baos can signify the joy of Chinese New Year and therefore, I think that the red packet is the symbol that should represent Chinese New Year.
The image I would like to use to represent Chinese New Year is a picture of an upside-down 福 couplet. This is because many people feel that Chinese New Year brings us luck and the upside-down 福 would represent that luck has been brought to us. Furthermore, on every Chinese New Year, my house would surely be decorated with this couplet, which makes me feel that it is the most common and perhaps significant couplet, and something that truly signifies this festival. I therefore feel that this 福 couplet is the image that represents Chinese New Year.
So... This is the end of my sharing and I wish all of you a Happy Chinese New Year ! :)
