Unlike the traditional January 1st New Year, the date of Chinese New Year varies from year to year since it is based on the lunar calendar.
However, Chinese New Year consistently falls on the second New Moon after the winter solstice. In China, the Chinese New Year is more commonly known as Spring Festival.
Names aside, celebrations generally start on the eve of the New Year and end on the 15th day with the Lantern Festival where decorated lanterns are displayed in temples. Chinese Year 4717 starts on January 22nd of 2023 and it’s the Year of the Rabbit.
On Chinese New Year, people wish each other unique messages, sayings, and quotes. They also greet their colleagues, teachers, and superiors. Messages are delivered for good fortune, wealth, health, and prosperity.
The world record for most text messages sent in a day is broken each year during the Chinese New Year.
How to Wish Someone Happy Chinese New Year 2023
The most frequent way to wish someone a happy New Year in Chinese is “Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin) or Gong Hey Fat Choy (Cantonese) ” which translates “Happiness and prosperity”.
The Lunar New Year does not begin until you hear, “I wish you prosperity and wealth.” Money is extremely important to support the family and it is an indispensable need of ours. This wish expresses the desire for the person to whom it is addressed to have a lot of money. In China, but also in the entire diaspora, this is still one of the most common Chinese New Year’s wishes.
We can also wish good luck to our family and friends in the coming year using “Xin Nian Kuai le, wan shi ru yi” which translates “Happy New Year and I hope all goes well with you”
Why wish someone just a happy New Year? One can add the desire that we send to the recipient of the wish not to lose hope that all things in his life will go well.
Happy New Year and good luck! This is one of the most common wishes of the Chinese Lunar New Year 2023 and one of the most ubiquitous and can be addressed to both young and old, close relatives and acquaintances.
