預祝大家新年快樂.恭喜發財!
Chinese New Year is all about celebrating the arrival of spring, and that's why I came up with this cute food project for you: learning how to write "spring" in Chinese on a red couplet cookie!
-The basic rule of Chinese writing is from top to down; left to right; outside to inside.
- To make the word looks more like it's written
with a Chinese calligraphy brush.Congratulations! You've just learned how to write your first Chinese word ☺
Oh~~ almost forgot to mention. These couplet cookies supposed to be served upside down since the the character for "upside down" in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "arrival". An upside down spring implies spring has arrived!
If you don't feel like making cookies, you can still write this "spring" on a piece of red paper with a paint brush to decorate your house. I think this will be a fun art project for you or your kids during Chinese New Year!

ReplyDeleteWow these are very cute and you have such neat, beautiful handwriting in Chinese! I'm Chinese-American, took a year of classes in college and still have messy uneven handwriting haha.
ReplyDeleteThese are so wonderful, cute. I wish my kids would be old enough to write in any language so I could do this with them already. Soon, too soon.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Looks exactly like calligraphy!
ReplyDeleteWow...so many comments! Thank you so much everyone. I was very happy with how these words turnd out. The funny thing was that they look prettier than my hand write(with a pen on paper) :p

ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting way to prepare delicious cookies, because it's innovative, and also you can use as a method to learn a new language, or at least some words you would like to know.
