 These are the traditional Chinese paper lanterns. Those lanterns, used on the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year for the Lantern Festival, are bright, colourful, and in many different sizes and shapes. 

try to smile like Miss thailand world hhhhhh 

nothing just sit there relax time ka^^Dragon and lion dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the dragon or lion dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits.

Happy Chinese New Year

"Gung Hay Fat Choy!"

In China, every girl and boy

Celebrates the New Year

in a very special way -

With fireworks and dragons,

colored red and gold -

They welcome in the new year

and chase away the old!

Good luck

- Opening windows and/or doors is considered to bring in the good luck of the new year

-  Switching on the lights for the night is considered good luck to 'scare away' ghosts and spirits of misfortune that may compromise the luck and fortune of the new year.

-  Sweets are eaten to ensure the consumer a "sweet" year

-  Some believe that what happens on the first day of the new year reflects the rest of the year to come. Chinese people will often gamble at the beginning of the year, hoping to get luck and prosperity.

-  Wearing a new pair of slippers that is bought before the new year, because it means to step on the people who gossip about you.

-  The night before the new year, bathe yourself in pomelo leaves and some say that you will be healthy for the rest of the new year.

Bad luck

-  Buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck amongst some Chinese. The character for "shoe" (鞋) is a homophone for the character 諧/谐, which means "rough" in Cantonese; in Mandarin it is also a homophone for the character for "evil" (邪).

-  Getting a hair-cut in the first lunar month puts a curse on maternal uncles. Therefore, people get a hair-cut before the New Year's Eve.

-  Washing your hair is also considered to be washing away one's own luck

-  Sweeping the floor is usually forbidden on the first day, as it will sweep away the good fortune and luck for the new year.

- Saying words like "finished" and "gone" is inauspicious on the New Year, so sometimes people would avoid these words by saying "I have completed eating my meal" rather than say "I have finished my meal."

-  Buying books is bad luck because the character for "book" (書/书) is a homonym to the character for "lose" (輸/输).

-  Avoid clothes in black and white, as black is a symbol of bad luck, and white is a traditional Chinese funeral colour

-  Foul language is inappropriate during the Chinese New Year.

-  Offering anything in fours, as the number four (四), pronounced sì, can sound like "death" (死) in Chinese. See tetraphobia.

"Bad luck

- Buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck amongst some Chinese."

So Chinese women don't crave for hundrets of different shoes? Hmm, interesting aspect ... very interesting! Need to talk about that with my financial consultant as well as with my relationship counselor.
