Chinese new year celebration- Year of the Rabbit

Postby wenlinchineseschool » Fri Jan 27, 2023 5:55 am

WenLin Chinese School is celebrating Chinese New Year 2023 with traditional Chinese culture performances, the chance to try some delicious food and fun and games for families.

On Sunday 29 January, WenLin Chinese School is throwing open its doors to students, their families and the local community, to mark the 2023 lunar year of the rabbit. A packed day of activities will be hosted at the school’s flagship venue, Belleville Primary School SW11, from 2pm onwards.

Guests can browse and shop from stalls including Chinese book publisher Cypress Books and sample Chinese dumplings from neighbourhood restaurant The Good Earth. Mayor of Wandsworth Cllr, Jeremy Ambach, will welcome guests and will present certificates to WenLin Chinese School students who recently sat and passed a number of the internationally-recognised YCT and HSK Chinese exams.

There will be Lion Dance demonstration and workshop from the London Lion Dance Troupe, alongside performances featuring Chinese traditional dance. Songs will also be performed, including Jing-Ju ‘SuoLin Nang’, using traditional instruments such as the erhu, alongside a group rendition of Chinese folk song Mo Li Hua (Jasmine flower) and a Wushu (Chinese martial arts) demonstration. Performances will finish with a drum dance from the celebrated London Ansei drum team. Guests will also be able to enjoy family games, and more opportunities to taste traditional Chinese dishes.

A Chinese Lantern Festival will take place the following week on Saturday 4 February from 12 pm to 3 pm, at WenLin Chinese School’s Dulwich site, with the event traditionally marking the end of the New Year celebrations.

People are welcome to attend the events on either or both days, and no registration in advance of the events is required.

Partners supporting WenLin Chinese School’s New Year event include Cypress Books, Good Earth, the London Ansai Drum Team, the London Lion Dance Troupe and the UK Chinese Opera Association. Proceeds from the event will be donated to WenLin Chinese School’s chosen charity, SENTALK.
