Flowers send powerful, symbolic messages for Chinese at New Year
Print Edition
CHINESE New Year marks the second “New Moon” after Winter Solstice and will fall on Thursday this year. Many families like decorating their homes with traditional flowers not only for festive effect but also a symbolic message for the new year.
Live, blooming flowers symbolize the rebirth that will take place with the coming spring, and fruit blossoms symbolize the start of the cycle that will result in a new crop of fruit later in the year. Fruits and flowers in the home are believed to bring good luck and good fortune in the coming year. Flower markets do a booming business in the days leading up to the Chinese New Year.
