Chinese New Year day 4

During the Lunar New Year a special emphasis is placed on symbols represented by different food or fruits.

One special traditional food is the rice cake, Nian gao or rice cake. when spoken sounds "nian Gao" means: prosperity year after year! it is especially prepared (above photo), and
fried with some flour and vegetables, like the photo below and eaten hot!
 
 
Kumquats and oranges represents wealth.
 
Candies sweeten the whole season!
 
Pineapples also represent wealth.
The new year is incomplete with the presence of the god of wealth!

If you want to understand how we celebrate Chinese New Year: it is  Mardi Gras, Christmas and July 4th celebrations in one!

Got it?

Happy Chinese New Year!
