Chinese New Year greetings in postcards. congratulations on chinese new year

In Russia, the New Year is usually celebrated twice. But, there is another New Year, which is also sometimes celebrated in our country. It's Chinese New Year. This holiday is celebrated in February, and this holiday symbolizes not just the beginning of a new year, but the beginning of a new life cycle, the arrival of spring, warmth and life. Chinese wishes for the new year play a huge role for the person receiving them, especially if they are Chinese.

Chinese wishes for the new year

The Chinese celebrate the beginning of the new year according to the lunar calendar. New Year is celebrated during the end after the end of winter and lasts for three whole days. All this time, the Chinese spend with their family and friends, receive and give gifts, and also eat a traditional New Year's dish - dumplings.

The Chinese pay great attention to traditions. That is why it is very important to properly congratulate the Chinese on the Chinese New Year. Congratulations must begin with the name of the recipient, after which, you should indicate his last name, and then the phrase that you congratulate him or her on the Chinese New Year. The best option for congratulations is a postcard. It can be sent either by regular mail or by e-mail. There is a huge selection of postcards on the Internet for all occasions, so finding the right one for you will not be difficult.

Chinese wishes for the new year also usually include a wish for wealth. And a traditional gift for the Chinese New Year is a red envelope with a certain amount of money. But it is worth considering that the number 4 in the donated amount will be regarded as an insult, because. it symbolizes death. But a gift with the number eight will please the Chinese, because. thus you wish him to get rich.

The traditional color scheme for the holiday is red and gold. Therefore, it is best to choose a red postcard with gold or black hieroglyphs. Chinese New Year wishes usually look like this:

  • 祝你学习取得好成绩
  • 祝你找到一个好工作
  • 祝你在新的一年里万事如意

This is a traditional wish for a happy year, however, it should be supplemented with wishes for health and happiness.

Chinese New Year Gifts

If there are Chinese among your acquaintances, and you are going to congratulate them on the Chinese New Year, be careful. Symbolism pervades almost every aspect of Chinese life, and gifts are no exception.

Never give a watch as a gift. This will be regarded as a death wish and will cause deep offense to the one to whom you give them.

If you decide to congratulate such acquaintances with a small banquet, then do not forget that there must be dumplings on the table.

You need to know that paired gifts will please any Chinese, because a pair means family well-being and harmony. Such a gift as a tea pair will be appreciated, but you should not give one cup, it will mean loneliness. Also, a pair of tangerines is considered a traditional gift for the Chinese New Year. Their color resembles gold, and the phrase “tangerine pair” in Chinese sounds very similar to the word “gold”, and therefore such a gift will mean that you wish your friend well-being.

If you plan to please a Chinese who works for you, give him a bonus. It is not customary to give expensive gifts on this holiday, but the amount of the monetary reward does not matter if it does not contain the number 8.

If there is a whole family of Chinese among your acquaintances, then their children will be very happy with a small gift that you hide in their sock hanging on the wall. Children will be sure that this gift was brought to them by the real Dong Che Lao Ren, i.е. Chinese Santa Claus.

Russians, of course, do not know all the traditions of the Chinese New Year. However, if you and your loved ones decide to celebrate it, try to still give traditional Chinese gifts. Only in this way you can feel the real spirit of the Chinese New Year.

Wishes for Chinese New Year

On this holiday, symbolizing the beginning of a new life cycle, it is customary to get rid of everything old and dress in everything new. These days are considered the beginning of a new life and therefore, congratulating the New Year, it is customary to wish well-being, happiness, health and good luck.

Just on this holiday, as in any other, it is customary to make wishes. But the Chinese do it differently. You can make wishes for the Chinese New Year with the help of an air lantern. Lanterns are usually made independently from special paper in red and gold. During the process of making a flashlight and during its launch, one should make a wish. If you were focused and did everything right, then your wish will definitely come true next year.

In Chinese culture, it is customary to celebrate this bright and cheerful holiday on a special scale. The Chinese believe that with the advent of the New Year, a new life cycle comes into its own - nature wakes up and everything comes to life. According to tradition, in China, the New Year is usually celebrated from January 21 to February 21. However, due to the rare use of the old calendar, most Chinese celebrate this holiday in early January as well.

According to the Eastern calendar, each year corresponds to one of the twelve animals, as well as one of the five elements. It is believed that this custom originated from an ancient Chinese legend. This belief says that it was on the days of the arrival of the New Year that a terrible monster appeared and ate people. However, one smart old man cheated, telling the beast that people are insignificant in front of him, therefore it is unworthy to kill them. After a while, the old man added that it was better to fight animals of equal strength. Since then, every year the monster has chosen one of the twelve animals as rivals. By the time the animals calmed down and hid from the formidable monster, people had already learned how to protect their home from him. It was all about the scarlet lanterns, the bright color of which the terrible monster was afraid of more than anything in the world. Since then, a tradition has been led in China with the advent of the first New Year's day to light red lanterns.

But not only hundreds of thousands of red lights distinguish Chinese New Year from other holidays. On the first day of this celebration, fireworks soar into the sky with a whistle. The Chinese believe that in this way they will scare away evil spirits and the next year will bring only happiness. In addition, according to tradition, at the end of the holiday, friends and family members give each other “money of happiness” with wishes to live for many years.

Of course, we are not Chinese,
But welcome to the New Year.
May there be more happiness
And in Russian you'll be lucky.

Money - full pockets,
Well, it's better to have a bank account.
We are pleased to meet
We are Chinese New Year!

Again the smell of tangerines,
The sky is brightly lit.
We all wish to live beautifully
And with a smile on your lips.

Winter is coming and it's here
It's Chinese New Year.
Let him bring you
Prosperity in the house, peace of mind.

Love in the heart, good luck in business,
Let everyone laugh and not cry
May the sky be peaceful
And only joy for a whole year!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone,
I want to live - without the hassle,
Swimming in the sea of ​​joy
Enjoy life in paradise
Don't be sad, don't be sad
Celebrate the holiday together!

And on a positive note
I wish you life - stylish,
cheerful, beautiful,
In a word, only - happy!
In the New Year I wish:
"Be happy, friends!".

Hundreds of thousands of fireworks
Fly to the sky...
On this night, according to all beliefs
Miracles happen.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone
Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!
Let there be prosperity in the house,
Let dreams come true.

And the flashlight is scarlet again
May it bring good luck
Become the best in life
Coming New Year!

New Year, favorite holiday,
You can meet many times.
Here is the tradition of China
Why not support?

Let's release the fire dragons
Let's fire up the fireworks...
Happy New Chinese Year to you,
Congratulations to all-all-all!

I want to congratulate you
Happy New Year, but Chinese!
I want to wish, friends
Lots of joy and happiness!

May the Chinese New Year
It will bring you good luck.
And health and love.
And, of course, beauty!

May the new year and the new moon
They will give you, pour you in full:
Health is a big cart and three buckets of the mind,
Happy children, let the darkness run out of money.
Do all the work faster
And failures to pass quickly.
Own what you have in your hands.
A distant neighborhood so that grief bypasses you.
Strong friendship, real!

Once a career - something brilliant!
You make everything perfect!

Happy New Year! Kind of weird
Celebrate the New Year again.
But we still won't get tired
Congratulations, good wishes.

Happy New Year to you Chinese!
Wisdom of the East to all,
Let life seem heavenly
No worries or problems!

May the Chinese New Year
Give joy and fun
And bring in a lot of money
So that life gives pleasure!

I wish you happiness, prosperity,
For luck to follow!
May wishes come true
So that the heart always sings sweetly!

The Chinese New Year is on its way and the wechat, qq and weibo feed is already full of congratulations (). Today, a huge part of the world's population will sit down at the festive table to eat dumplings with the whole family, to congratulate each other on the arrival of spring.

Of all the traditions associated with the Chinese New Year, I like red envelopes, decorations on the doors, New Year cards, tangerine trees the most.

The tradition of giving small gifts, usually 红包 (hongbao - red envelopes with money), is considered burdensome by some young Chinese, especially if they do not earn much, and every friend, colleague, family member needs to give a few banknotes. Well, for children it is always a holiday, many of my students said that they love the new year and hongbao.

On a window or door in the house, you can hang a hieroglyph like the one above, or one of those that bring good luck. We had a picture of happiness at home - 福 (fú).

You can also say that this is a blessing, and you can also hang it upside down and this will mean that happiness has already come to your home. There are a couple more popular characters in this series and even in the wish - 福 (lù) and 寿 (shòu). Connect the hieroglyphs together and get good congratulations: 福禄寿 - happiness, prosperity and longevity!

In Kuala Lumpur, where I first saw this celebration, the Chinese blew up firecrackers to drive away evil spirits. It was loud, and the poor people crowded around the temples, and people coming out of there presented them with red envelopes. A few hours after midnight, the market area on Petaling Street (Chinatown) was already very quiet.

The following year, we happened to be in Hong Kong for the New Year, where we walked around the city and did not notice the violent celebrations at all, such as they show on TV on January 1st. We saw family dinners in restaurants on New Year's Eve. In the morning, we saw crowds of people when we went to one of the Hong Kong temples. In the morning, the Hong Kong people asked their gods for good luck and prosperity. In the evening, the first day of the new year, we watched a magnificent one.

And last year, like this year, we celebrated outside of China. There is an opinion that this is the best option, because everything closes for the holidays, business costs, it’s especially hard if you still need to get somewhere by train - tickets are sold out in three weeks, on the day the sales start.

happy new year

But this is no reason not to congratulate your Chinese friends and acquaintances, they will be very pleased. We write the most traditional: 新年快乐 - Happy New Year! This year you can: 羊年快乐 - Happy Year of the Goat.

羊年大吉 (yáng nián dàjí) - Good luck in the year of the Goat. 恭贺新禧 (gōnghèxīnxǐ) - Happy Holidays.

心想事成 (xīnxiǎng shì chéng) - May your dreams come true. 恭喜发财 (gōngxǐfācái) - Prosperity (when you receive a gift). 身体健康 (shēntǐ jiànkāng) - Health.

Wish, wish, in Chinese, it will be 祝 - zhù, respectively, we wish the above and make combinations.

祝您新的一年快乐幸福 - I wish you a happy new year!

恭祝健康、幸运,新年快乐。 - I wish you health, good luck and a happy new year.

祝您生意兴隆 - I wish you a profitable business.

恭贺新禧、万事如意 - Happy new year and may everything go as planned!

祝你吉祥如意 - All the best to you, whatever you wish.

The next one on the astrological calendar is the year of the Monkey 猴 (hóu), and you already know what to wish your friends.

On the eve of the new year, it is useful to gain new knowledge, look at the picture where popular words are indicated, some of which people even fill themselves in the form of a tattoo. No matter how cool everyone looks, it probably won’t make much sense if they put together in a tattoo: “love, beauty, happiness.” Don't make mistakes!
