PSGSA-CHINESE SPRING FESTIVAL
CELEBRATION!
Happy New Year
of the Dragon! ?????(Lóng nián kuài le!)
The Dragon is magnificent. In China, the Dragon
is the imperial symbol, the sign of the emperor. The Dragon is
also synonymous with power and wealth. The Dragon falls on the
following years: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988,
2000, and 2012. It is said that people born in the year of the
Dragon carry a natural charisma and are gifted with power and
luck. They are egoistical and ambitious, almost to the point
of megalomania, and will stop at nothing to get what they
want. They can be successful as actors, singers, bankers,
financiers, politicians, pharmacists and quite comfortable in
the place of many other professions. Some famous people born
in the year of the Dragon are Bruce Lee (1940), Florence
Nightingale (1820), Paul Allen (1952), and Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844). You can try to say the following words to your Chinese
friend:
?????(X?n nián kuài lè!) Happy New
Year!
????(Guò nián h?o!) Happy New Year!
?????(G?ng x? f? cái!) I wish You
Great Prosperity!
?????(Lóng nián jí xiáng!)
Good Luck in the Year of the Dragon!
