Do you want to know what we write in this wall magz? ok here we go lets check it ^^...




  • The First, we discuss about "Barongsai History" Barongsai is a Chinese traditional dance using sarong in shape of a lion that is usually performed in the Chinese New Year celebration. Barongsai has been recorded in history for thousands years. The first record of this dance can be traced in the period of Chin Dynasty (3 B.C.) The art of Barongsai started to be popular in the period of South-North Dynasty (Nan Bei) in the 420-589 A.D. At that time, the Song Wen Di's troops were almost lose to fight against the 'war-elephant' of King Fan Yang from Lin Yi. King Song Wen Di's commander, named Zhong Que, tried to make a replica of lion to drive Fan Yang's troops out. It worked out, so that the lion doll became a legend."
  • Second we disscuss about Food, why food? yes, in chinesse new year many the special food for the symbolic new year festival, What gives a certain food symbolic significance? Sometimes it is based on appearance. For example, serving a whole chicken during the Chinese New Year season symbolizes family togetherness. Noodles represent a long life; an old superstition says that it's bad luck to cut them. Both clams and Spring Rolls symbolize wealth; clams because of their resemblance to bouillon, and Spring Rolls because their shape is similar to gold bars.
  • Then, we discuss about "Angpau" It’s called Red Packet when translated to English, and Chinese adults usually put some money inside and distribute them to their children and relatives (a generation smaller than they are). However, an unmarried adult is not, erm, ‘qualified’ to distribute
