Happy Year of the Tiger! 虎虎生威！

New Year’s greetings are an important part of Lunar New Year. In fact, there are specific days of the celebration to visit different parts of the family to make sure that everyone is seen and is wished a happy New Year. This is known as bai nian (拜年).

Below are Year of the Tiger greetings from the Yale-China community. To add yours, email your name and greeting to arts@yalechina.org.
