Celebrating Chinese New Yearpage 5 / 8
Decorate Your House
Chinese often hang couplets on either side of their doors. Couplets are long scrolls or posters featuring Chinese characters, typically for luck and happiness, in elegant calligraphy. Paper cuts are also a commonplace decoration and are a fun way for children to be involved in decorating. Displaying fresh flowers is also a traditional way to decorate as they symbolize the arrival of spring and a new beginning.
