I kēia manawa, ua paʻa nā miliona o ka poʻe a puni ka honua i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no kekahi o nā lā hoʻomaha koʻikoʻi o ka makahiki - ka Lunar New Year, ka mahina hou mua o ka kalena lunar.
Inā he mea hou ʻoe i ka Makahiki Hou Lunar a makemake paha i kahi hōʻoluʻolu, e uhi kēia alakaʻi i kekahi o nā kuʻuna maʻamau e pili ana i ka lā hoʻomaha.
ʻOiai paʻakikī loa ka zodiac Kina, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka wehewehe ʻana ma ke ʻano he 12 mau makahiki i hōʻike ʻia e nā holoholona ʻokoʻa he 12 ma ke ʻano penei: ʻIole, Bipi, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Lio, hipa, Monkey, Rooster, ʻīlio, a me ka puaʻa.
Hoʻoholo ʻia kāu hōʻailona zodiac ponoʻī e ka makahiki i hānau ʻia ai ʻoe, ʻo ia ka 2024 e lawe mai i nā ʻīlio pēpē he nui. ʻO nā pēpē i hānau ʻia i ka makahiki 2025 he mau nahesa pēpē, a pēlā aku.
Manaʻo ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo no kēlā me kēia hōʻailona zodiac Kina, pili nui ka laki i ke kūlana o ka Tai Sui. He inoa hui ʻo Tai Sui no nā akua hōkū i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia ua ʻano like me Jupiter a huli i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe.
Hiki i nā haku Feng Shui ʻokoʻa ke wehewehe ʻokoʻa i ka ʻikepili, akā maʻamau ka manaʻo o kēlā me kēia makahiki zodiac e pili ana i ke kūlana o nā hōkū.
Nui nā moʻolelo moʻolelo e pili ana i ka Makahiki Hou, akā ʻo ka moʻolelo o "Nian" kekahi o nā mea hoihoi loa.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ʻo ka Nian Beast he monster ʻino ma lalo o ka wai me nā niho a me nā pū. ʻO kēlā me kēia makahiki hou, puka ka Nian Beast i ka ʻāina a hoʻouka i nā kauhale kokoke.
I kekahi lā, i ka peʻe ʻana o nā kamaʻāina, ua ʻike ʻia kahi ʻelemakule pohihihi a koi ʻo ia e noho me nā ʻōlelo ʻōlelo no ka pōʻino e hiki mai ana.
Ua ʻōlelo ke kanaka ua makaʻu ʻo ia i ka holoholona ʻo Nian ma ke kau ʻana i nā hae ʻulaʻula ma ka puka, e puhi ana i nā mea puhi ahi a me nā lole ʻulaʻula.
ʻO ia ke kumu i lilo ai ke komo ʻana i nā lole ʻulaʻula ahi, ke kau ʻana i nā hae ʻulaʻula, a me ka puhi ʻana i nā mea puhi ahi a i ʻole nā mea ahi i lilo i mau kuʻuna Makahiki Hou e mau nei a hiki i kēia lā.
Ma waho aʻe o ka leʻaleʻa, hiki i ka makahiki hou o Kina ke hana nui. ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa maʻamau he 15 mau lā, i kekahi manawa ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, kahi e hana ʻia ai nā hana a me nā hana like ʻole.
Hoʻomākaukau ʻia nā keke ʻoliʻoli a me nā puddings ma ka lā 24 o ka mahina mahina hope loa (Feberuari 3, 2024). No ke aha mai? ʻO ka keke a me ka pudding he "gao" ma Mandarin a me "gou" ma ka Cantonese, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia me ka "kiʻekiʻe".
No laila, ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i kēia mau meaʻai ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia ka holomua a me ka ulu ʻana i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana. (Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hana i kāu "ʻīlio" ponoʻī, eia kahi meaʻai maʻalahi no ka keke kāloti, kahi punahele Makahiki Hou.)
Mai poina i ko kakou Makahiki Makamaka. ʻAʻole e paʻa ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no ka Makahiki Hou inā ʻaʻole i kākau ʻia ma luna o nā hae ʻulaʻula me nā huaʻōlelo maikaʻi a me nā idioms (kapa ʻia ʻo Hui Chun ma Cantonese a me Spring Festival couplets ma Mandarin) i kākau ʻia ma luna o lākou, e hoʻomaka ana mai ka ʻīpuka.
ʻAʻole hauʻoli nā hoʻomākaukau a pau. Wahi a ka moʻomeheu Makahiki Hou, ma ka lā 28 o ka kalena mahina (ʻo Pepeluali 7 kēia makahiki), pono ʻoe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka hale.
Mai hana hou i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana a hiki i ka lā 12 o Pepeluali, i ʻole e nalowale nā pōmaikaʻi a pau i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki hou.
Eia kekahi, ʻōlelo kekahi i ka lā mua o ka Makahiki Hou ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e holoi a ʻoki i kou lauoho.
No ke aha mai? No ka mea ʻo "Fa" ka hua mua o "Fa". No laila ʻo ka holoi ʻana a ʻokiʻoki paha i kou lauoho e like me ka holoi ʻana i kou waiwai.
Pono ʻoe e hōʻole i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā kāmaʻa i ka mahina o ka mahina, no ka mea, ʻo ka huaʻōlelo no ka "kāmaʻa" (haai) ma Cantonese ke kani nei me he "nalo a kani."
He pāʻina nui ka poʻe i ka pō o ka Makahiki Hou, e hāʻule ana i ka lā 9 o Pepeluali i kēia makahiki.
Ua mālama maikaʻi ʻia ka papa kuhikuhi a loaʻa nā kīʻaha e pili ana i ka waiwai maikaʻi, e like me ka iʻa ('ōlelo ʻia ʻo "yu" ma ka ʻōlelo Haina), pudding (he hōʻailona o ka holomua) a me nā meaʻai e like me nā pahu gula (e like me nā dumplings).
Ma Kina, ʻokoʻa ka meaʻai no kēia mau ʻaina kuʻuna mai ka ʻākau a i ka hema. No ka laʻana, makemake ka poʻe ʻākau e ʻai i nā dumplings a me nā noodles, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki i ka hema ke ola me ka ʻole o ka laiki.
ʻO nā lā mua o ka Makahiki Hou, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lā mua ʻelua, he hoʻāʻo pinepine i ka ikaika, ka ʻai, a me nā mākau pilikanaka ʻoiai ka nui o nā poʻe e hele a kipa i ka ʻohana pili, nā ʻohana ʻē aʻe, a me nā hoaaloha.
Hoʻopiha ʻia nā ʻeke i nā makana a me nā huaʻai, mākaukau e hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻohana kipa. Loaʻa i nā malihini nā makana he nui ma hope o ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma luna o nā keke raiki.
Pono ka poʻe male e hāʻawi i nā enveloppi ʻulaʻula i ka poʻe i mare ʻole (me nā keiki a me nā ʻōpio male ʻole).
ʻO kēia mau envelopes, i kapaʻia nā envelopesʻulaʻula a iʻole nāʻekeʻulaʻula, ua manaʻoʻia e pale aku i kaʻuhaneʻino o ka "makahiki" a pale i nā keiki.
ʻO ke kolu o ka lā o ka Makahiki Hou (Februari 12, 2024) i kapa ʻia ʻo "Chikou".
Manaʻo ʻia ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o ka hakakā ʻana i kēia lā, no laila e pale aku ka poʻe i nā hanana kaiaulu a makemake lākou e hele i ka luakini.
Ma laila, e lawe kekahi i ka manawa e hana ai i nā mōhai e hoʻopau i nā pōʻino. E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, no nā poʻe he nui, ʻo ka Lunar New Year kahi manawa e nīnau ai i kā lākou horoscope e ʻike ai i nā mea e kali ai i nā mahina e hiki mai ana.
I kēlā me kēia makahiki, kūʻē kekahi mau hōʻailona zodiac Kina me ka ʻike kilokilo, no laila ua manaʻo ʻia ke kipa ʻana i ka luakini he ala maikaʻi e hoʻoponopono ai i kēia mau hakakā a lawe mai i ka maluhia i nā mahina e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka hiku o ka lā o ka mahina mua (Februari 16, 2024) ʻo ia ka lā i hana ai ke akua makuahine Kina ʻo Nuwa i ke kanaka. No laila, kapa ʻia kēia lā "renri/jan jat" (lā hānau o ka poʻe).
No ka laʻana, makemake ka poʻe Malaysia e ʻai i ka yusheng, he "ʻai iʻa" i hana ʻia mai nā iʻa maka a me nā mea kanu ʻokiʻoki, ʻoiai ʻo Cantonese e ʻai i nā pōpō laiki lāʻau.
ʻO ka Lantern Festival ka hopena o ka Spring Festival holoʻokoʻa, e mālama ʻia ana ma ka lā ʻumikumamālima a me ka lā hope o ka mahina mahina mua (Feberuari 24, 2024).
ʻIke ʻia ma ka ʻōlelo Kina ʻo ka Lantern Festival, ua manaʻo ʻia kēia ʻahaʻaina ka hopena maikaʻi loa i nā pule o ka hoʻomākaukau a me ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka Makahiki Hou.
Hoʻolauleʻa ka Lantern Festival i ka mahina piha mua o ka makahiki, no laila kona inoa (ʻo Yuan ke ʻano o ka hoʻomaka a ʻo Xiao ke ʻano o ka pō).
I kēia lā, hoʻomālamalama nā kānaka i nā kukui, e hōʻailona ana i ka kipaku ʻia o ka pouli a me ka manaolana no ka makahiki e hiki mai ana.
I ka hui kahiko o Kina, ʻo kēia lā wale nō ka lā e hiki ai i nā kaikamāhine ke hele i waho e mahalo i nā kukui a hui me nā kāne ʻōpio, no laila ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "La Valentine's China."
I kēia mau lā, paʻa mau nā kūlanakauhale a puni ka honua i nā hōʻike kukui nui a me nā mākeke i ka lā hope o ka Lantern Festival. ʻO kekahi mau kūlanakauhale Kina, e like me Chengdu, ke hoʻokipa nei i nā hōʻike hulahula deragona ahi.
