I’ve Decided To Use My Time Illustrating 15 Days Of Chinese Traditions And Customs

ADVERTISEMENT

This Lunar New Year is certainly different from past years. Due to the worldwide pandemic (Covid-19) situation, LNY celebrations have been toned down. To reduce the risk of community spread, reunion gatherings and visitings were restricted to certain numbers and households. Less bustlings were the malls and streets as we usher in the New Year all in the name of public safety.

Nonetheless, even with the muted LNY, most of us were still able to spend some quality time with our loved ones and catching up on our lives. With more time on my hands this festive season, I’ve decided to illustrate 15 days of LNY (with some research on the Chinese customs and traditions) to remind ourselves of our heritage, whilst having some fun.

    I embrace a positive attitude towards life and inherently believes that "​​Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day". Through visual and written expressions, I narrate stories for myself and others.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    Do you know that pineapple tart does not made of pineapple, but "冬瓜" (white gourd) ? We started to add pineapple flavor only after mid 2010s because it's getting popular in western world, and every single western people will be shocked when told that pineapple tart is not made of pineapple. BTW, New Year Cake is "年糕" in Chinese, not "黏糕". "年" = "year" & "黏" = "sticky", these two words have same pronunciation in Mandarin. And no, we don't eat barbecued chicken or lamb, only beef and pork. Chicken jerky is for pets.
