Chinese New Year 2
Input Date:01/15/2007 Read: [Print] [Close]

Chinese New Year window decoration usually bears the same implication as for wedding ceremonies. The best I have seen is the paper-cut on the cave windows those paper-cuts include "Two dragons playing with a ball," "Two phoenixes playing around a peony;" "A
golden clock over a frog;" "A deer and a crane;" "A snake twining round a rabbit;" "A vulture catching a rabbit;" "A dragon, a tiger and a vulture;" "Lion playing with a silk ball;" "A rooster holding a fish in the mouth;" "A rat bit open the sky;" "A bowl of Pomegranate;" "Buckled
bowl in the shape of two frogs;" or of two fish, two tigers or two rats, "Fairy fish vase;" "Paired tiger vase;" "The Eight diagram fish;" "Deer head" etc. There are also a variety of paper-cuts with the theme of life and propagation: "A snake twining round nine eggs;" "treasure toad;" "A pair of toad;" "frog carrying a rock." It is a colorful picture of a legendary animal kingdom with birds flying, fish iumping, people laughing and horse soaring. Inside the cave, the kang is decorated with "Border flowers," across the dish rack is a row of "Dish
rack clouds," and in the center of the ceiling is a large ball flower of "Phoenix playing around peony," and on the lintel is "Baby holding hands" or "Baby of sun flower seed."
