Looking for the Chinese Text to a Rhyme about the Chinese New Year
January 17th, 2006

Hayley wrote me inquiring about a Chinese rhyme for the Chinese New Year which is on January 29th…

I have found the rhyme…

Chinese New Year

You’ll find whenever the New Year comes
The Kitchen God will want some plums.
The girls will want some flowers new;
The boys will want firecrackers, too.
A new cap will please papa
And a sugar cake for dear mama.

I really need this in Chinese text to show a group of nursery children and wondered if you could please help?

Thank you for your time.

Hayley Dukes

    hello, I also work with pre-school children and am looking for rhymes to show the children as part of our Chinese New Year celebrations. I also stumbled accross this rhyme, and decided not to use it as it is quite sexist and gender stereo typing, unless i spose it’s used as a spring board to discuss how not all girls like flowers… just something to think about….
