Teacher Li, why does everyone wear red during the New Year?

Because in China, red often represents happiness and good luck.

Does red really bring good luck?

Many people believe so. Wearing red during the New Year makes people feel happier and more hopeful.

So red envelopes are also red, right?

Yes, red envelopes are red to wish children safety and good health.

What other things are also red?

Spring couplets, lanterns, and paper cuttings are often red. They make everything look lively.

I want to wear a red dress too! Then I’ll be like ‘Lucky 小美’.

That sounds great! Wearing red feels festive, like wearing blessings on your body.
