具有中国特的礼物    My Favorite Chinese New Year Gift
    Every year, my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year! I love all the delicious food, the pretty red decorations, and most of all - the gifts! Chinese New Year is a time when family members exchange gifts to celebrate the new year. The best gifts have special Chinese meanings and traditions behind them.
    One of my favorite gifts to receive is a red envelope filled with lucky money. Red is a lucky color in Chinese culture because it symbolizes happiness, wealth and prosperity. The money inside represents wishes for a wealthy and fortunate new year. I always feel so lucky when I get a red envelope!
    Another gift I love is delicious dried candied fruits and seeds like lotus seeds, longan, red dates, and goji berries. They are sweet treats but also have special meanings. Lotus seeds represent having kids, longan means many grandchildren, red dates stand for early arrival of children, and goji berries wish for happiness and long life. Eating these yummy snacks is supposed to help make those good things come true in the new year.
    My grandparents always give me and my brother special decorations and toys for the new year too. One year I got a cute little stone sculpture of the animal representing that year's zodiac sign. Another year, my grandma made us Chinese hand puppets in the shapes of a dragon and phoenix. She said those two mythical animals are powerful symbols of good luck, used a lot in weddings and celebrations.
    One of my all-time favorite gifts is a traditional Chinese yo-yo called a diabolo. It takes skill to spin it and toss it up and down on the string, kind of like a juggling trick. My dad is really good at diabolo and taught me how to do some basic moves. He says it originated as an ancient Chinese exercise and game thousands of years ago. It's fun but also lets me connect to my Chinese heritage.
    Last year for Chinese New Year, my aunt and uncle gave me and my cousins each a special gift from a different part of China. I got a beautiful silk embroidered make-up bag from the city of Suzhou. The embroidery looked so delicate and detailed. My cousin got a pretty ceramic vase from Jingdezhen, which is famous for high-quality pottery. And my other cousin received a fancy snack box filled with special dried plums and candies from Guangdong province. It was really neat to learn about these traditional craft products from various regions across China.
    My grandparents always say that giving and receiving meaningful gifts is an important Chinese tradition, especially for holidays like Chinese New Year. The gifts represent good wishes for health, fortune and joy in the coming year. But beyond just being presents, these cultural gifts connect us to our Chinese roots and customs that have been passed down for generations. That's what makes opening those special red envelopes and unwrapping those unique gifts so exciting and fun each Chinese New Year!

    Gifts With Special Chinese Meanings
    One of the coolest things about Chinese culture is how so many everyday things can have lucky symbols and special meanings! Giving gifts is a big part of Chinese holidays and celebrations. But the gifts aren't just random objects - they often represent ideas like happiness, wealth, or long life. As a Chinese-American kid, I get to experience the best of both worlds when it comes to gift-giving. Let me tell you about some of the most interesting Chinese cultural gifts!
    Red Envelopes
    One of the most classic Chinese gifts is red envelopes filled with money, called "hongbao" or "laisee." We give out red envelopes during Chinese New Year. The red color symbolizes good luck and scares away evil spirits. Usually parents or married couples give these lucky red pouches to kids, single people, and elders as a symbol of good fortune for the new year.
    The amount of money inside doesn't matter that much. My grandparents sometimes just put a single new dollar bill or a shiny new coin inside. What matters is the whole tradition around the red envelope itself! My parents always told me I had to say "kung hei fat choy" (Happy New Year) and do a little bow with my hands together when receiving a red envelope. One year I forgot the greeting and my grandma jokingly held the red envelope up just out of my reach until I remembered! The red envelope gift reminds us to appreciate our cultural traditions.
    Mandarin Oranges
    Another typical gift is a box of mandarin oranges, especially around Chinese New Year. The word for "orange" sounds a lot like the word for "wealth" in Chinese, so we give oranges as a symbol of hoping for a prosperous new year filled with golden opportunities. I like to peel the oranges and share the sweet segments with my family while the adults chat.
