Thoughtful Lunar New Year Wishes to Send Your Friends and Family This Year
In 2024, February 10 isn't just another Saturday — it's the beginning of the Lunar New Year. If you're not familiar, Lunar New Year (which is also commonly known as Chunjie, or the spring festival) is a 15-day spectacular, packed with food and fun. Think: dumplings that bring luck, red envelopes (a lucky New Years color) that are filled with money, flashy parades with incredible dancers, bright decorations such as red hanging lanterns, and many other joyous traditions.
Even if you don't celebrate yourself, it's always nice to know a few Chinese New Year wishes and Lunar New Year greetings that you can share with others who do celebrate and observe the spring festival.
Here in the U.S., you may know Lunar New Year more commonly as Chinese New Year, but the Lunar New Year tradition is also celebrated in Asian countries such as South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore.
The holiday is centered around experiencing good things in the new year, such as joy and success. To wish someone a happy and prosperous new year in Mandarin Chinese, you’d say, "Gong Xi Fa Cai," which is a traditional Chinese New Year greeting that means, "Wishing you prosperity and wealth."
Go ahead and share these Chinese New Year greetings anytime between February 10 (the first day of the Chinese New Year) through February 24 (the first full moon of the new year and end of celebrations).
