Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is China's most important festival. In order to deepen the understanding of the Chinese culture and traditions, students in Chinese classes are going to have a Chinese New Year parade and celebration. First, the Chinese New Year Parade will start at 11:00 am on Wednesday, Feb. 19 in the hallways. Students will have a Chinese Dragon Dance and Fan Dance. The Chinese dragon has very different connotations from the western dragon. The Chinese dragon is a spiritual and cultural symbol that represents prosperity and good luck, as well as a rain deity that fosters harmony. The dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. They are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to our school. Second, we will have a Chinese New Year celebration during Period 5A on Wednesday, Feb. 26 in Room 124. Students in Chinese 1 will sing songs and dance. If you are interested in Chinese culture, you are welcome to come to watch the performance.
