Lunar New Year Traditions

I am reflecting on what Chinese New Year means to those of us who are celebrating this occasion in Malaysia. And I am realizing that as each year passes, traditions are dying. Celebrating the New Year is a psychological opportunity for us to let go off the past and start anew. But it would be nice if we can still keep the traditions that have so enriched us in the past – after all, they are cultural symbolisms that define who we are.

These photos show the Lunar New Year (we Malaysians call it CNY!) being celebrated in China; photos that permit us to recall and reminisce of days that have gone by or will soon pass us by:
