Happy Wednesday,
This is my sample entry to Friday Emoji Contest โทโโฟ with title Chinese New Year ๐๐๐๐.
As you may know ๐๐คญ, Chinese New Year ๐ฒ ๐ฎ is around the corner ๐ฑ๐๐. Chinese New Year is a Chinese ๐ฒ festival that celebrates ๐๐ the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar ๐ ๐ . The festival is usually referred to as the Spring Festival in modern China and is one of several Lunar New Years in Asia ๐.
โท 0 โถ โพ is year of pig ๐according to Chinese Zodiac. Chinese Zodiac is based on a โฟ โ โท years cycle where it related to an animal ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐sign. These signs are the rat ๐ญ, ox ๐, tiger ๐ฏ, rabbit ๐ฐ, dragon ๐ฒ๐, snake ๐, horse ๐ด, goat ๐, monkey ๐ต, rooster ๐, dog ๐ถand pig ๐ท. So in year โ 0 โ โ, is the last year of the animal sign. Next year โ 0 โ 0 will start from โถ st animal sign again ๐.

What do you know ๐๐ค about Chinese New Year ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ?
1.Spring cleaning ๐ฆ๐๐ท๐ช
Chinese ๐ฒ do believe that before starting a new year, they need to spring clean their house ๐โ. This represent to clean up all the bad luck from last year and have a new start of a new year. ๐๐๐
2.Reunion ๐ต๐ง๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ง๐ง๐ง๐จDinner ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ฅฉ
New Yearโs Eve dinner ๐ฅข or Reunion dinner ๐ฅข is a must ๐ for each family. This feast is extremely important to the Chinese. All family members come back ๐ถ๐ถโโ๏ธ and gather together ๐จโ๐จโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ. There are a lot of symbolic dishes served during Chinese New Year eve. Each individual dish is steeped in tradition and is a homonym for a particular blessing for the upcoming year, such as "have a lot of fun" ๐๐บ๐๐๐ or "make a lot of money ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฒ.
Name and look for each dish is symbol of wishes for prosperity, happiness ๐๐๐๐๐น and auspiciousness. Such as,
Steam Fish ๐ symbolize surplus and wealth๐ค๐ฐ
Fish ๐ ๐ฃis a must for the Chinese New Year. Why does fish symbolize surplus and wealth ๐ฒ? In Chinese, fish (้ฑผ) has the same pronunciation as ไฝ, which means โsurplusโ or โextra.โ The typical blessing is ๅนดๅนดๆไฝ, wishing you to have a surplus (or fish) of food and money ๐ฒ every year.
Long Noodles ๐or Misua symbolize long life ๐ง๐ต
Long noodles ๐ represent longevity ๐ง๐ต. They usually are served uncut. Misua signifies long life, and the noodle is also a traditional birthday ๐๐พ dish.

Rice ๐ Cake ๐ฐ or Nian Gao symbolize a Higher โง Income ๐ท๐ต๐ธ or Position
Nian gao also has the same pronunciation as ้ซ (gฤo). Itโs a wish to be successful and โhigherโ โฌ each year. Every year will be better than the last. Some humorous parents ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง like to tell their children that eating this will help them grow taller โซ too ๐คฃ๐.
They are either made of sticky glutinous rice or yellow rice, giving nian gao two major colors and textures.
Spring roll, or chun juan symbolize wealth ๐ฐ๐ถ
Spring roll is a dim sum dish that's named after the Spring Festival. The words chun juan literally mean spring and roll. The golden color of the fried spring rolls represent gold bars โ which, of course, symbolize wealth ๐๐คญ.
3.Red Envelope or Ang Pow ๐๐
The money ๐ค in red envelopes is also known as ๅๅฒ้ฑ ๐. Literally, it is โmoney ๐ต to anchor the year.โ It is also known as โlucky moneyโ or โNew Yearโs money.โ Ang pow normally given by married couples ๐ซ and parents ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง to children ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ง and single youths ๐จ๐ง๐ฉ. Red packets symbolise luck and are supposed to ward off evil spirits ๐๐ฟ. When adults give red packets to children, they will say ๐ฃ something auspicious by way of blessing ๐ค.
