This New Year, according to the Chinese calendar, will be held under the sign of the Green Wooden Dragon, which we really want to appease – perhaps then it will be favorable to us.
The New Year according to the Chinese calendar will not arrive until February 10, 2024, but we will celebrate it on the night of December 31 to January 1, so it’s time to find out what and how to please this fantastic animal.
Astrologer Lyudmila Bulgakova talks about how to celebrate the Year of the Green Wooden Dragon.
How to celebrate the Year of the Dragon
How to celebrate the Year of the Dragon? The main quality of this mythical creature is dignity, therefore – regardless of where and how we decide to meet him – this must be remembered. It is difficult for the host of the year to imagine his guests – that is, each of us – dancing around the Christmas tree in bear or bunny masks, and even at this time – for obvious reasons – this is unlikely to be appropriate.
But you can’t completely abandon the holiday – the Dragon may feel that he is not respected and will be offended. However, there are some basic rules to follow. Firstly, the festive dinner should be a gala one. Even when celebrating the New Year at home, you need to do this in full dress: in beautiful clothes, by candlelight and with dishes for special occasions. Beautiful – but quiet and not danceable – music will help create the right atmosphere. Secondly, nothing, including clothes, decorations and dishes on the festive table, should be cheap: even if there are fewer things or products, but the choice should be made only in favor of the highest quality.
Favorite colors Green Dragon
The best way to get yourself into a festive mood is to decorate your home for Christmas and New Year: buy – or make your own – new curtains, tablecloths, woven napkins, throws and pillowcases for sofa cushions. The dragon in China is a symbol of imperial power, the main colors of which are red and gold in any combination. You can add white and green to them, making the decor in the traditional colors of Christmas. Those for whom such combinations seem too bright can choose lilac or violet with silver – it will look more subdued, but no less luxurious. The main thing is not to give up shine – the Dragon cannot imagine its existence without it. Not mandatory, but desirable are also Dragon figurines that will decorate the interior – it is best if they are wooden or ceramic
What to cook
The owner of the year, despite his mystical origin, is not a herbivore; he equally loves both meat and fish products. Therefore, when setting the New Year’s table, you need to focus on your taste, existing family opportunities and, of course, financial capabilities. Those who want to please the Dragon need to pay special attention to desserts. It is generally accepted that the Dragon has a sweet tooth, therefore, first of all, the festive table should have a variety of goodies – and not necessarily harmful ones, now you can buy a lot of healthy sweets that you can put on display for yourself and your guests.
How to decorate a house
It would seem that what we shouldn’t be taught is how to decorate a Christmas tree – everyone has mastered this skill since childhood. Nevertheless, every year designers give us interesting ideas – for example, this year flowers and berries are in trend, which should replace the usual balls, figures, cones and icicles. However, for those who are supporters of a conservative approach to decorating the New Year’s tree, they may not make such sudden movements and stick to traditional toys.
If we talk about specific items that must be on the Christmas tree this year, then, firstly, these are Chinese coins that symbolize wealth. They are believed to attract good luck in financial matters and at any other time, but in the year of the Dragon their magical influence on our lives will increase significantly, especially if you tie several pieces with a red satin ribbon. Secondly, the Dragon will be pleased with his own figurine or ball with his image – best if it is green. Well, and thirdly, from the available toys, it is advisable to choose those that combine red and gold colors. A combination of purple and silver, as well as green, would also be suitable – where would we be without it on the eve of the Year of the Green Wooden Dragon.
What to wear
Having decorated the house, set the table and decorated the Christmas tree, do not forget about yourself. When answering the question of what color of outfit to choose for New Year’s Eve, astrologers, despite the inherent green nature of the owner of the year, do not insist on it. In any case, it should not be bright – jade or malachite is better. This also applies to red – it is better to replace a bright scarlet shade with burgundy or purple, but bright red can – and should! – be manicured. The dragon is unlikely to appreciate a faded outfit, so it is better to put all pastel shades aside; the owner of the year should not like the color blue – it is better not to appear in it on New Year’s Eve.
Styles – both in women’s and men’s clothing – must be chosen classic – no frivolity, vulgarity or, God forbid, everyday life, this is not according to the status of the Dragon. As for the texture of materials, the most preferable would be silk and brocade, as well as klzha – the best eco option. To be in the trend of the owner of the year, you can’t do without sparkles – lurex, rhinestones and sequins, and their quantity will determine everyone’s personal taste. You can choose massive jewelry – platinum, gold or silver; costume jewelry is not compatible with the imperial grandeur of the Dragon. However, an option with wooden decorations is also possible – taking into account the elements of the coming year.
