In Shanghai the kids dressed in red up for school, and there were a day full of celebrations that the parents could take part of. There were performances, a dragon and lion dance, kids singing, and lots of cultural activities like origami, calligraphy etc.. The food is very important during the celebration and different food has certain meanings. Noodles represent longevity, dumplings symbolise wealth and fish abundance. If you wanna make a Chinese dinner here is some links to some of my recipes:
Anise Chicken, very easy recipe and so tasty
Chicken peanuts, my kids favourite
Fish fragrant aubergine, without fish!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year🎋

Beautiful picture! I think I do more for Lunar New Year too. It just seems like there are more specific traditions for it than Gregorian New Year. This year, I added eating a lotus seed for good luck to my list of Lunar New Year activities. 😊
That sounds so nice!
Oh this dinner looked wonderful! Love all the red!
