SoundEagleSoundEagle🦅 wishing you a prosperous Chinese New Year of the 🐎Horse 馬 and a Happy New Year 2014 with Annual Surplus 年年有餘

Hello! SoundEagle🦅 is back in action here after a fairly long hiatus. The Year 2013 is farewelled by SoundEagle🦅 with a special post entitled Cosmos in Perspective: Scaling the Universe with Interactive Infographics, Film, Animation and Slideshow. In contrast, the Year 2014 is welcomed with a festive, eclectic post laden with multimedia and multitudinousness, including games, video and music as well as numerous season greetings and best wishes conveyed to you in Chinese.

May you have hours of fun and enjoyment!

Chinese New Year of 2014 begins on the 31st of January and ends on the 14th of February, the Valentine’s Day. This double celebration represents a culmination of the Eastern Culture (emphasizing Relationship and Kinship 關係和親情) meeting and amalgamating with the Western Culture (emphasizing Romance and Love 浪漫和愛情). It provides a good indicator and macrocosmic example of the increased intensification and extensive interpenetration of economic, social and cultural practices and relations as globalization continues to expand in the 21st century. Specifically, this can be both seen and heard in the dynamic results of musical hybridizations and cross-cultural collaborations, as the following musical performances demonstrate:

新年快樂萬事如意得心應手
財源廣進恭喜發財合家幸福

在此祝大家

前程似錦,光芒萬丈
金馬奔騰,龍馬精神
馬到成功,馬年更壯
日日月月年年皆如意
朝朝暮暮時時獲財運
風風雨雨季季笑顏開

The Electric Canvas has had the honour of creating beautiful projections for Sydney’s Chinese New Year Twilight Parade. Growing bigger and brighter every year, the parade weaves its way through the streets of Sydney’s Chinatown in front of tens of thousands of spectators celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Chinese New Year is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the first day of the year of the Chinese calendar. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally run from Chinese New Year’s Eve, the last day of the last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. Since the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the “Lunar New Year”. The Lunar New Year Day is always between 20 January to 20 February of the Gregorian calendar each year.

🐎馬騰駕祥雲⛅️
航行闊海郡
失于蓬萊閣
蹤跡無處尋
純潔如皓月
屬望是故鄉
造船歸故里
謠曲送兒郎

飛馬騰盡酒愁
無明白旗浪杯悠
聲鷹一鳴翔海濤
低頭沉思笑無明

  1. It was a joy to read this well researched piece . The Chinese culture has been wide spread the world over , starting with the gold rushes , Chinese influence has been present .
    I’ve lost count of the different china towns I’ve been to .It’s very caring & sharing the way the biggest lunar celebration is always public & for everybody .One year I came out the airport door at Sydney to experience a lion dance – truly amazing feeling . I enjoy the enveloping sharing that the Chinese display – no other culture does it better !

    • Warming you even more in degree and duration, the finest rewards for you are about to leap onto 無明’s lap, so to speak. What you have witnessed in this post so far is at best a mere teaser, or rather, a mere glimpse of the highly enticing, vivid and eye-opening cultural histories and experiences concentrated conveniently in one bespoke webpage, so much so that SoundEagle🦅 would indeed be seriously irresponsible if not neglectful to deprive you of an expansive, stylishly produced research featuring the traditional, mythological and festive aspects of Asian culture through an encyclopaedic post entitled 🦅 SoundEagle in Chinese New Year Celebration, Spring Festival, Lion Dance, Food, Ornaments, Traditional Culture and Architecture 🏮🎋🦁🥗🎐㊗️⛩.

      You will be pleased to know that the three navigational menus in the said post can facilitate your reaching specific sections of the post instantly so that you can resume reading over multiple sessions in your own time to enjoy the attendant “attractions” and multimedia extravaganza taking you on a worldwide cultural journey. Your Asian relatives and friends, let alone Caucasian associates, would be very impressed or even surprised if you were to regurgitate to them just a fraction of the contents of the said post.

      Furthermore, if you like cooking, there are some fantastic food and yummy cuisines to tempt you in the post, plus plenty of videos showing how the Chinese New Year is celebrated in different countries and regions of the world. Please enjoy what you are about to experience to your heart’s content!

      Rose Greeting

      Yours sincerely,
