People across Asia welcomed the Lunar New
Year on Saturday with family gatherings, festivals and temple visits to ask for
blessings.
The Lunar New Year is the most important
annual holiday in China, a time for reunions with relatives and friends and to
enjoy festive feasts. Each year is named after one of the 12 signs of the
Chinese zodiac, with this year being the Year of the Dragon — widely considered
the most auspicious zodiac sign in Chinese communities.
The Year of the Dragon is also a popular
year to give birth for Chinese because many couples hope their children will
possess remarkable qualities symbolized by dragons, including strength, power
and success.
Many residents of Hong Kong dressed in
red, a lucky color in Chinese culture, to mark the start of the year. In
gatherings, they savored rice cakes and turnip cakes, with children receiving
cash-stuffed red envelopes as blessings from their married relatives. Outdoor
exhibitions and floral displays prepared for the festival offered a chance for revelers
to pose for photos.
In Beijing, crowds of people flocked to
temple fairs to see traditional folk performances and bought snacks and artwork
from booths. Many lit incense sticks to pray for good health and fortune.
In Myanmar and Malaysia, worshippers visited
temples to pray for good luck and blessings. In Dharamshala, India, exiled Tibetan
monks also took part in ceremonies to mark their new year.
