#AceNewsReport – Feb.02: However, the Year of the Tiger marks the third year in a row Ms Bogard has missed out on celebrating Tết (Vietnamese for Lunar New Year) with her Vietnamese family in Ho Chi Minh City.
#AceDailyNews says its turning from Year of the OX to Year of the TIGER as Asian Australians’ celebrations of Lunar New Year hampered by #COVID19 cases
Kindness & Love❤️ says Hope You & Your Family Have A Good New Year God Bless Amen
For Marianne Bogard, who is of Vietnamese and French origin, celebrating both Christmas and Lunar New Year is a highlight because her mixed ethnicity means “double the fun”.
Prior to the pandemic, Vietnam-born but Sydney-based Ms Bogard would visit Vietnam every year with her Vietnamese mother and sister for the three-day celebration to welcome in the new zodiac animal.
“Tết brings me closer to the memories in Vietnam, but it makes me miss Vietnam even more,” she said.
‘All about family’
Ms Bogard says Tết is all about spending time with family to reconnect.
“I have really missed going to uncles’ and aunties’ houses to wish them luck and get red envelopes,” she said.
“My mum’s side of the family in Vietnam is really big — 11 brothers and sisters and their many children — so there are about 30 people coming together to celebrate.
“I have longed for the delicious caramelised pork and eggs — our family’s signature for Tết — and missed playing cards, gambling at daytime and clubbing with my cousins at night.”
Having moved to Australia in 2013, Ms Bogard realised she had been taking Tết for granted when living in Vietnam.
“I didn’t appreciate Tết as much until I moved to Australia, because unless you live in Cabramatta (a predominantly Vietnamese community in Sydney), you don’t get to experience the festivities and the joy it brings,” she said.
“The plan for this year was just to go to yum cha in Cabramatta, then go to the temple during the day and have friends over for food and drinks at night.”
COVID-safe Chinese New Year
Malaysian-Australian Robert Hum’s eldest son and daughter-in-law were unable to make it to Melbourne for the family’s annual Chinese New Year family reunion.
“While I am sad to not see my eldest son’s family, ensuring everyone stays healthy and COVID-free is of utmost importance with the continuation of COVID-19 into 2022,” Mr Hum said.
He said one of his biggest disappointments was missing out on playing Mahjong with his family for a third consecutive year.
“Mahjong is a great relationship game that is all about give and take, which is very representative of Asian culture.
“When I was a five-year-old in Kuala Lumpur (in 1961), one of the most fun activities was playing Mahjong, and now it is an opportunity to talk about family topics like your children’s career and cheapest food to buy.”
Mr Hum said Chinese New Year was an “auspicious occasion” and it was important for every family member to try to come together.
“We are having a smaller crowd at home and making sure everyone takes a rapid antigen test and receives a negative result before joining family activities,” he said.
“We will still maintain the Chinese traditions of giving Ang Pow (red packets) to my children, even though they are adults and asking younger ones to wish all elder family members a happy and prosperous year.”
Not everyone can celebrate
While others are out celebrating the new year, Burwood man Qi Wei will be at home as a mark of respect for his father, who passed away in October from COVID.
Mr Wei, from China’s Guangzhou province, will follow the cultural practice of refraining from visiting his friends and relatives during Chinese New Year.
“In many East Asian cultures, family of the deceased either refrain from celebrating or celebrate on a very modest scale to pay respects to the family member lost prior to the Lunar New Year,” Mr Wei said.
“Visiting relatives and friends during this period will bring bad luck to them, so we avoid seeing during Lunar New Year unless absolutely necessary.”
Mr Wei said he would still make dumplings with his children the way his father taught him ito welcome in the new year.
Mr Wei’s family restaurant experienced a 50-per-cent decline in revenue in 2021. He said the approaching Lunar New Year was causing stress for his family.
“We were very worried about the costs of extravagant gifts and red packets after such a difficult year.”
“While it is an emotional time for us, the silver lining is we no longer have to bear the brunt of holiday spending and have time to recuperate from the sorrows of the past year.
“It has taken a big load of pressure off our shoulders.”
Blast from the past
Mr Binh Nguyen from Vietnam said staying in Australia during Lunar New Year allowed him to watch an organised display of firecrackers, a spectacle he had not experienced since childhood.
“Vietnam banned the use of explosives including firecrackers due to fire national security concerns over two decades ago.
“Children of my generation used to have an absolute blast when the firecrackers went off and I could hear that exciting sound again at the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia this year.
“It was so delightful and literally a blast from the past.”
Mr Nguyen drove nearly 300 kilometres from Sydney to Canberra for this year’s Vietnamese Embassy’s Tết party.
“It was a wonderful chance to gather with Vietnamese students and communities from all around Australia.
“We gathered with some local and international friends to enjoy the delicacies of my homeland such as banh chung (sticky rice cake stuffed with pork and mung bean), authentic nem (Vietnamese spring rolls) and banh cuon (steamed rice rolls).”
“Tết is a time to celebrate the family spirit and it felt like one big happy family.”
Chinese Horoscope 2022 – Year of the Tiger Meaning
According to Chinese astrology, each year corresponds to one of the twelve animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig), a cycle that repeats every twelve months.
The new Chinese Year of the Tiger starts on February 1 and lasts until January 21, 2023. It will also mark the end of the year of the Metal Ox in Chinese Astrology.
Why is Chinese New Year Celebrated on February 1, 2022?
The Chinese base their New Year celebration on the lunar calendar instead of the solar one used in the West. Therefore, people who follow the solar calendar always celebrate the New Year on January 1st. But the Chinese New Year will depend on the moon. Usually, it is celebrated in February, yet the exact day will vary from year to year. This year just happens to be on February 1, 2022.
The most recent years of the Tiger are 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, and 2022.
According to the Chinese horoscope, 2022 is the year of the Water Tiger, a year of all types of extremes. In Chinese Astrology, the Chinese zodiac animal signs are grouped in six pairs according to the balance between Yin and Yang. Each of the six groupings is associated with one of six destiny aspects known as Houses. These Houses influence the overall characteristics of the time period in which the animal sign rules.
The Second House is the House of Expansion, which is associated with the Tiger and Rabbit. In the Year of the Tiger, there will be expansion through aggression and conflict in the world. In the year of the Rabbit, there will be expansion through diplomacy and talks usually to repair the damage caused by the Tiger’s aggression.
In life and in love, the Tiger personifies grandness. Loyal and fierce protection of those entrusted to their care, Tigers will rule the jungle in 2022.
The Tiger is in third place in the Chinese Zodiac, and it is known as a landmark for the other signs, encompassing all the traits of a leader. They are logical, determined, and successful in helping others function optimally.
Each of us will go through significant changes: some will lose huge fortunes, others will gain power.
In 2022, the people with strong self-confidence that easily overcome their fear zone and naturally take risks will only have to gain.
The year of the Tiger 2022 is under the influence of the water element, which means that it will be a year in which we must make all kinds of changes in our lives.
At the same time, the Water element represents wealth, so the new Chinese year will definitely bring abundance and prosperity. Water amplifies the vital force, health, and essence of the Tiger’s spirit.
The Water Tiger is discreet and does not want to stand out, but it will always trust its instincts.
In 2022, under the influence of the Tiger, the signs can take risks and don’t fail, having only benefits both financially and romantically.
