Cherish Ong-Chua, vice president of finance and marketing at Hanabishi Appliances, considers the customs that Filipino-Chinese families observe to usher in the Lunar New Year as the world prepares for the Year of the Wood Dragon.
“The Chinese believe that abundance during Chinese New Year will carry on for the rest of the year. We observe traditions that would help usher in the blessings for the coming year and at the same time drive away the misfortunes of the past year,” she shared.
Food and Abundance
Preparing for the Lunar New Year’s Eve meal, where families from various generations would assemble to exchange homemade treats, is one of these customs.
There would be round fruits, symbolic of good fortune, on the supper table. They would also prepare a dish of rice and top it with ampao, Ong-Chua continued. Another mainstay is noodles, which stand for longevity.
She further shared that some of the traditions focus on cleanliness.
“To get rid of the bad luck of the previous year, some of us would get a haircut,” Ong-Chua said. “But we forbid cleaning on the first day of the year as this might sweep away the good luck that would come in the New Year.”
