👋 Welcome to the Practical Mandarin Podcast | 中文零距离播客! Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! In this special episode, Li Laoshi and Mike guide you through the "Survival Guide" for the Year of the Snake (2025/2026). Why do people call the snake "Little Dragon"? Why is everyone wearing red underwear? And what should you say if you accidentally break a plate during dinner? Tune in to learn how to celebrate like a local and avoid the most common New Year "landmines." 💡 What we cover in this episode: • The Year of the Snake (蛇年): Why it's associated with wisdom and wealth, not evil. • Benmingnian (本命年): The mysterious reason why Chinese adults wear red socks and underwear. • The Legend of Nian (年兽): Why the fireworks are so loud and why everything MUST be red. • Lucky Dumplings: Eating "Fu" (福) and what to do if you bite into a coin. • Niannian Youyu (年年有余): Why you should never finish the fish on the table. • Hongbao Etiquette (红包): How to "refuse" money politely before finally accepting it. • The "Death Three Questions": How to survive interrogation from nosy elders about your salary and marriage status. • Taboos & Superstitions: Why sweeping the floor or saying "unlucky" words is a big no-no. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 Want more simple Chinese?
