Hanabishi on Chinese New Year Traditions and Welcoming an Abundant Year

As the world welcomes the Year of the Wood Dragon, Cherish Ong-Chua, the VP for Finance and Marketing of Hanabishi Appliances, reflects on the traditions Filipino-Chinese families celebrate to usher in the Lunar New Year.

“The Chinese believe that abundance during Chinese New Year will carry on for the rest of the year. We observe traditions that help usher in blessings for the coming year and simultaneously drive away the misfortunes of the past year,” she shared.

Food and Abundance

One of these traditions is the preparation for the Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner, where families from different generations gather to share homemade delicacies.

On the dinner table, there are round fruits symbolizing good fortune. Ong-Chua added that they also prepare a bowl of rice and put ampao on it. Noodles are also a staple, symbolizing long life.

She further shared that some traditions focus on cleanliness.

“To get rid of the bad luck of the previous year, some of us would get a haircut,” Ong-Chua said. “But we forbid cleaning on the first day of the year as this might sweep away the good luck that would come in the New Year.”
