Editorial Reviews

Chinese Lunar New Year has remained the single most important event of the Chinese calender. It is the time when family members return home. On New Year's Eve, the whole family gathers, greets each other with Happy New Year, eats dinner, exhanges Hung Pau (red envelope of money) and has a wonderful night. The Chinese people have been celebrating the New Year for thousands of years. There are many different legends to explain the origins of the New Years customs. The various regions of China celebrate the New Year in slightly different ways. Although most of the celebrations are similar, there are some traditions and even some taboos that vary from place to place. Despite these differences, Chinese New Year is one of the best reflections of Chinese thought and way of life. This film presents the Chinese New Year story with shadow puppets and introduces the way Chinese New Year is celebrated in Modern Taiwan.
