Chinese New Year---Sin Re



Picture: Mandarin Oranges 





Mandarin oranges is a blessing for each other as we exchange well wishes for each other as we exchange the oranges. The oranges are also always exchanged in a pair as there is a proverb that good things come in a pair. The oranges are also sweet which represents the blessing of having a sweet year ahead.

Symbol: 福

The 福 represents prosperity and a smooth year ahead. By pasting it upside down, it also means 福到(same pronunciation as 倒--upside down)


Colour:Orange



The colour orange is a bright colour which represents the bright and cheerful atmosphere during the Chinese New Year period.
