Hi, yow. I was invited to a party to celebrate Chinese New Year. I plan to make a lantern as a gift to the host.
I'm not sure about which colours I may choose. In addition to the traditional colour of red, our blue and white good colours for new year decorations.
Can you tell me that to booze about colour in Chinese culture? Yours Sam.
Hi Sam. Thanks for your interest in Chinese culture.
A lantern as a gift is a good idea. But I'm afraid the colours blue and white are not good choices. Besides, the white lanterns are the traditional Chinese symbol of mourning.
Instead, red is the colour for most festivals in China. Are there any interesting customs about colour in Australia? Yours. Yow.
Hi yow. Thanks for your sharing. Australia is a multicultural nation and we should know more about different cultures and respect the differences.
Green and gold are Australia's national colours. Green is the colour of the Australian forest and trees.
Gold is the colour of our mineral wealth, beaches, the golden fleece of Australian wool and the harvest of golden grains.
Australians are free to use our national colours. However, when used as national colours, green and gold should appear together and not be separated by white. Cheers Sam.
