Chinese New Year its way! To learn more about 春节 (chūnjié) , join us for a full lesson with a helpful video here: https://goo.gl/YikmNx Commonly, Chinese make paper cutouts, and put up big diamonds and paper calligraphy with the inverted Chinese character 福 (fú /foo/) on doors and walls during Spring Festival. The fu characters are purposely inverted. Fú means 'good fortune', and posting the character upside down means they want the 'good fortune' to "pour out" on them. Zhù nǐ chūnjié kuàilè! 祝 你 春 节 快 乐！ Wish you happy Spring Festival! For a written lesson on the Spring Festival and the Mandarin associated with it, you can join us here for another full lesson: https://goo.gl/Z0pN9n Stick around with eChineseLearning for more helpful Mandarin Chinese videos about culture and language!
