Podcasts about Lunar New Year

Chinese lawmakers recently entered a fierce online debate on whether fireworks should be used to celebrate the Lunar New year this February. They said a total ban on fireworks in the country credited with inventing the noisemakers would be hard to enforce. 中国立法者最近就是否应使用烟花来庆祝今年2月的农历新年。 他们说，对该国的烟花汇演的全面禁令将很难发明噪声制造商。 Lawmakers said air pollution prevention and fire safety laws have led to "differences in understanding" of the ban on fireworks. However, it was never a total ban. 议员们说，预防空气污染和消防法已导致“理解”对禁令的理解差异。 但是，这绝不是完全禁令。 In 2017, official data showed 444 cities had banned fireworks. Since then, some of the cities have loosened the bans. They permit fireworks at certain times of the year and at special places. 2017年，官方数据显示，有444个城市禁止了烟火。 从那以后，一些城市松开了禁令。 它们在一年中的某些时间和特殊地方允许烟火。 This month, however, many counties made announcements banning fireworks, restarting discussion on the ban. 但是，本月，许多县发布了禁止烟火的宣布，重新启动了有关禁令的讨论。 "We've the right to fireworks," wrote a user of Weibo, a popular Chinese online discussion service. “我们有权烟火，”一家流行的中国在线讨论服务微博的用户写道。Chinese folklore says the earliest fireworks were invented 2,000 years ago to drive away the "nian.” The nian, the story goes, was a monster that hunted people and animals before the Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival. 中国民间传说说，最早的烟花是在2000年前发明的，以驱逐“尼安”。 故事讲的是，尼安（Nian）是一个怪物，在农历新年或春季节之前猎杀了人和动物。 Since then, fireworks came to be used to celebrate other events. This January, after three years of COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, some people ignored bans - and officials - and set off firecrackers. 从那时起，烟花开始被用来庆祝其他活动。 今年1月，在取消了三年的Covid -19限制之后，有些人忽略了禁令和官员，并引发了鞭炮。Some Chinese say the fireworks bans were necessary to protect the environment. 一些中国人说，烟火禁令是保护环境的必要条件。An online opinion study by the official Beijing Youth Daily found that over 80 percent of people supported fireworks during Spring Festival. The festival is the most important holiday on the Chinese calendar. 北京青年日报的一项在线意见研究发现，超过80％的人在春季音乐节上支持烟花。 节日是中国日历上最重要的假期。 Some also said the ban was ironic after the United Nations recently named the Spring Festival an official holiday, a move supported by Chinese officials.一些人还说，该禁令是讽刺的，在联合国最近将春节命名为正式假期之后，这一举动是由中国官员支持的。"The Spring Festival belongs to the world, but China's is almost gone," wrote another Weibo user. 另一位微博用户写道：“春节属于世界，但中国几乎消失了。”Southern Hunan province is a worldwide supplier of fireworks. Its exports totaled $579 million from January to November, state media reported. That number is far greater than domestic sales. 匈奴省南部是全球烟火供应商。 据州媒体报道，从1月到11月，其出口总额为5.79亿美元。 这个数字远大于国内销售。

Dong Tao chicken has been a food of choice for generations in Vietnam for the Lunar New Year, or Tet. 东陶鸡一直是越南几代人的首选食物，享受农历新年或TET。 The rare bird is known for its strangely large feet. It is also known as a “dragon chicken.” The chicken gets its name from the village of Dong Tao, about 30 kilometers southeast of Hanoi. 这只稀有的鸟以其奇怪的大脚而闻名。 它也被称为“龙鸡”。 这只鸡的名字来自河内东南约30公里的东陶村。 Dong Tao chickens are believed to bring good luck and wealth to their owners. At one point, they were only bred to serve meat for the royal families and officials. 据信，东陶鸡会给所有者带来好运和财富。 在某一时刻，他们只是繁殖为王室和官员提供肉类。 Today, demand for Dong Tao chicken in Vietnam has risen sharply. That demand comes from a growing number of wealthy people in one of Asia's fastest-growing economies. 如今，越南对东陶鸡的需求急剧上升。 这种需求来自亚洲一个增长最快的经济体中越来越多的富人。 Le Trong Dung is a chicken farmer in the village of Dong Tao. He told Reuters that a fully-grown Dong Tao chicken at one year old sells for $200 and sometimes as much as $400. Le Trong Dung是Dong Tao村的养鸡者。 他告诉路透社，一只完全生长的dong tao鸡在一岁时以200美元的价格卖出，有时多达400美元。The demand for Dong Tao chicken is also fueled by its rich taste. 对东陶鸡的需求也被其丰富的味道所增强。 Loc Duc Toan is a 25-year-old cook in Hanoi. Toan said a Dong Tao chicken has its best taste at the age of 13 to 15 months. "When steamed, the skin will be crispy with a fragrant aroma of its own and a sweeter meat compared to other normal chicken," Toan said. Loc Duc Toan是河内的25岁厨师。 托恩说，在13至15个月的时间里，一只东陶鸡的口味最佳。 托安说：“蒸时，皮肤会酥脆，与其他普通鸡肉相比，芬芳的香气和肉更甜美。” Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung is a chicken farmer, She said the most valuable parts of Dong Tao chickens are its legs. 她说，Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung是一名农民，她说，Dong Tao鸡最有价值的部分是它的腿。 Their large legs make it difficult for them to hatch from their eggs. Sometimes, they can accidentally break their eggs. 他们的大腿使他们很难从卵子上孵化。 有时，他们会意外打破鸡蛋。 It takes about a year to raise a Dong Tao chicken, compared to three months for other kinds. 饲养dong tao鸡大约需要一年的时间，而其他类型则需要三个月。 The chickens are now also raised beyond the village of Dong Tao. That means more people may have the chance to buy a Dong Tao chicken. But Phan Van Hieu, a Dong Tao agriculture official, said chickens raised in the village and fed with its native rice and corn have the best taste. 现在，这些鸡也被饲养在东陶村之外。 这意味着更多的人可能有机会购买Dong Tao鸡。 但是，宗陶农业官员潘·范·海（Phan van Hieu）说，鸡在村里饲养，喂给本地米饭和玉米的鸡肉味道最佳。 "Production hasn't met domestic demand yet," Hieu added. "I'm sure you won't find any Dong Tao chicken in any KFC restaurants in [the] foreseeable future." Hieu补充说：“产量尚未满足国内需求。” “我敢肯定，在可预见的未来，您在任何肯德基餐馆都不会找到任何dong Tao鸡肉。”

April began with the announcement of US "reciprocal tariffs", which ranged from 10% to 49% on exports from South East Asian nations. This has created toxic uncertainty across all industries in the region, notably business travel. But before the tariff turmoil, Q1 had delivered mixed results for travel and tourism, with the Eid al-Fitr holiday numbers particularly weak in Malaysia and Indonesia. Was this the result of the Lunar New Year and Eid public holidays being in the same quarter, or are we at the start of a cyclical travel slowdown in ASEAN? On our monthly roundup, Gary and Hannah assess the latest data and insights gleaned from attending and speaking at travel industry events throughout the month. Plus, Thailand plans to reframe its 2025 tourism strategy after reducing its revenue forecast, Vietnam experiences glitches at the opening of a new airport terminal, and China and Malaysia extend their bilateral visa-free access agreement. And, Indonesia and UN Tourism unveil a detailed set of tourism investment guidelines, Balis vows to enforce new behavioural rules for tourists, and more South East Asian vacationers are heading to Macau.  

In this eye-opening episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty dives deep into the worlds of creativity, culture, and technology with two remarkable guests who are changing how we think about children's education and entertainment. First up, animation director Trevor Lai shares fascinating insights into the delicate balance between artificial intelligence and human imagination. As the creator of Super Boomi and the tabletop game Paw Sum, Trevor emphasizes the critical importance of teaching kids to be creators, not just consumers. He warns against over-relying on AI while acknowledging its potential as a powerful tool for learning and creativity. The conversation takes an exciting turn with Windy Pham, founder of Little Ant World, who is on a mission to preserve Vietnamese culture through children's books. Her journey from corporate professional to author highlights the power of passion and cultural representation. Windy's books not only teach Vietnamese traditions but also create bridges of understanding between different communities. Both guests share a common message: technology should enhance, not replace, human creativity. They stress the importance of hands-on learning, reading together, and encouraging children to use their imaginations. From drawing dinosaurs to celebrating Lunar New Year, these creators show how books and interactive experiences can spark joy and curiosity in children. Key takeaways for parents include:     Limit screen time and encourage creative play     Use technology as a tool, not a replacement for imagination     Explore diverse books that represent different cultures     Engage with your children through reading and interactive activities Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about raising creative kids in a digital world, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. It's a reminder that the most powerful technology can't replace the magic of human connection, creativity, and storytelling.

Every December, students across Canada enjoy a two-week break to celebrate Christmas. In spring, Good Friday and Easter Monday bring further celebrations and a long weekend. But for Canadian students who want to mark celebrations in their own traditions, it often means being marked “absent” from school. A research professor who worked with high school students in Alberta says Canada should recognize celebrations like Eid, Diwali and Lunar New Year as public holidays. We speak with Dr. Rahat Zaidi, research professor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary.

Shortly after the Lunar New Year of 1990, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the Taiex) hit a peak of almost 12,500. Eight months later it had fallen to a low of about 2,500 – an 80% collapse, and one of the worst stock market crashes of all time! In this week's Taiwan history Formosa Files episode, we're looking at the “Great Stock Market Bubble” of the late 1980s, when too many people had a lot more money than sense. Taiwan's financial sector in the late 1980s was so crazy that the Republic of China (Taiwan) got a nickname: “the Republic of Casino”.Links, pics and much more at formosafiles.com

"This piece is based on a field recording of a drum and gong ensemble performance in Beijing's Forbidden City. In Chinese culture, such performances are traditionally associated with ceremonial events, including weddings, funerals, housewarmings, Lunar New Year celebrations, and dragon or lion dances. While the rhythms may initially seem repetitive, they are filled with intricate sonic textures and dynamic nuances. "In my composition, I deconstructed the original recording, isolating specific elements, such as the cymbal strikes, and used granular synthesis to generate new sonic materials. At the same time, I retained portions of the ensemble's characteristic rhythms to encourage the audience to focus on these distinctive traditional sounds. To maintain a connection with the original recording, I introduced a steady percussive rhythm at 1:25, with its density meticulously designed to mirror the rhythmic complexity of the source material. "In Chinese tradition, drum and gong performances often serve as background music for ceremonies, where attention is directed more toward the event than the music itself. For some, listening to these sounds in isolation might seem monotonous. However, this piece invites listeners to reconsider these sounds, exploring their intrinsic plasticity and uncovering the deeper potential within them." Beijing temple music reimagined by Boyi Bai. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.  Find out more and explore the whole project: https://www.citiesandmemory.com/heritage

This episode we're joined by cookie maker extraordinaire Amy Wong of Batch 22 Bakery. Lunar New Year might be a little behind us for the year but Amy's dish, leen goh, is so classic and so beloved we'll talk about it any time of year. We talk about Amy's diligent testing to turn her grandmother's loosey-goosey recipe into a near-exact replica, her mother's version that could feed an army, and honoring the recipe while still using an Instant Pot for a lil modern day ease. We also talk about pivoting from the perceived stability of a cushy tech marketing job to being a baker, the near-comical naming conventions—or lack thereof—of Chinese pastry, and if Amy's dad may or may not be Garfield.  Be warned that we have a lengthy cookie discussion so maybe have a snack first or keep some cookies close by!

Celebrate the true New Year with Danielle as she delves into why January 1st doesn't resonate with your body or your soul. No matter what hemisphere you're in, you're likely not feeling new year, new you vibes on January 1. Instead of hacking it or crushing it, how about being the conscious creator while being fully supported by the energies of the planets and Mother Nature?  In this episode, you'll learn about:  The historical context of calendars, including the Gregorian calendar and its divergence from natural cycles.  Significance of the Lunar New Year and its alignment with planetary cycles. The Vision Builder practice, a holistic life planning, that is a non-neurotic approach to goal setting and manifesting. Danielle also answers three questions from listeners and Heart Centered members—beautiful and juicy questions about her end of the year ritual and practices, mantras and nourishing thoughts, and how resistance is a sign of change.  She ends the episode with the Metta Bhavana prayer since it's an important component of the Vision Builder practice.
