Skeh, I'm going to leave it in your capable hands (battery talk, deary).
Also, did you know that there are traditionally many taboos associated with the New Year Festival?
The act of sweeping on this day is associated with sweeping wealth away, therefore Chinese people do not sweep their house on this day.
Gotta love the Chinese!
SKEH?? (Why does everyone butcher my name?)
Did we have another box of wine for dinner today?
Or is that just a hairball you're hacking up...."Skeh, heh, hak, cak!"
Well don't leave....stay, chit-chat.
Uuuuum are you sure about that, Kat?:
Chinese New Year 2012, Year of the Dragon, Traditions, Events, Wishes
The festival is celebrated grandly and extensively across the country. Various cultural activities such as lighting fireworks, dragon dancing, lion dancing and other traditional performances, are arranged in parks and streets in cities and towns.
Every family thoroughly cleans the house, sweeps the floors and washes daily things. House cleaning is believed to drive away ill-fortune and bring good luck in the coming year. Windows and doors are decorated with red paper-cuts and couplets. See New Year decorations.
No doubt their traditions are somewhat bizarre, but their history and civilization is thousands of years old.
America is in it's infancy compared to the Chinese!
Lots of wisdom in China....
