Imlek Persiapan

Makanan WAJIB

🥑 Yamie ( yg mie nya panjang). Selain cocok untuk Imlek, juga cocok untuk panjang umur. Tempat beli kalau di Jogja saya biasanya beli di Yamie panda. Intinya yg mie panjang. Beberapa Chinese restaurants juga menyediakan nya. Pastikan makan jangan digigit/ dipotong. Habiskan dari ujung ke ujung.

Di Yamie Panda 🐼 Jalan Kaliurang. Disini biasanya saya beli mie untuk Imlek. Atau kalau saya merayakan ulang tahun 🥳, biasanya dapat free 1 bowl 🍜🥣

🥑 Ikan yang ada di dalam air ( masak kuah ). Dan jangan dibalik ya saat makan : artinya rejeki mudah sepanjang tahun karena tidak perlu bolak balik. Disarankan yg sudah dimasak seperti goreng terbang juga bagus. Intinya jangan makan pakai perjuangan

🥑 Lumpia atau apapun yg digoreng kuning keemasan . Melambangkan seperti emas

🥑 Yang manis manis seperti permen atau coklat

🥑 Yang berbentuk biji bijian

Note : makanan terutama ikan harus sisa dan harus dimakan keesokan harinya : lambang dari rejeki melimpah

Makanan Dilarang

❌ Telur : telur baiknya hanya untuk saat ulang tahun. Terutama telur merah

❌ kepiting 🦀 karena makan pakai perjuangan

❌ Cumi : karena menggulung: bisa gulung tikar usaha Atau kerjaannya

❌ Jangan yg putih seperti bubur. Jaman dulu yg bisa makan bubur biasanya orang yg ekonominya kurang.

Baju

🥻 Baju baru untuk hari H dengan warna sesuai elemen ( tidak boleh putih karena artinya berduka, tidak boleh hitam karena artinya ketidakberuntungan).

🥻 Baju tidur untuk dipakai setelah mandi

Intinya setelah matahari ☀️☀️ 🌞 terbenam, kita sudah menggunakan baju baru.

🥻 Celana dalam

🥻 Bra

🥻 Tanktop

🥻 Tas boleh pakai yg lama asalkan elemen sesuai

🥻 Dompet juga. Boleh pakai yg lama

🥻 Sandal 👡 atau sepatu baik untuk di rumah 🏡 dan pergi

Rumah 🏡

ANGPAO

Siapa sih yang wajib dikasih angpao?

1. Keluarga yg belum menikah

2. Anak anak

3. Orang tua ( jika kondisi ekonomi kita cukup stabil, berikan pada orang tua )

Note : jika kamu adalah wanita yang sudah menikah. Hari pertama Imlek, kamu harus habiskan dengan keluarga suami.

Baru hari kedua Imlek, kamu berkunjung ke orang tua kamu.

COOKING AND CHINESE NEW YEAR

You can start cooking again on the **second day of Chinese New Year** or later, depending on family traditions. Here's a breakdown:

### **Chinese New Year Timeline and Cooking Practices**

1. **New Year's Eve (除夕 | Chúxì)**

- Big family reunion dinner is prepared in advance.

- Most of the heavy cooking is completed to avoid using knives or stoves on the first day.

2. **New Year’s Day (初一 | Chūyī)**

- Cooking is often minimized or avoided to prevent "cutting away" good luck.

- Families usually eat leftovers or light meals that don’t require much preparation.

3. **Second Day (初二 | Chū’èr)**

- Normal cooking can resume for many families.

- This day is also significant as it’s traditionally when married daughters visit their parents, and meals may be prepared to welcome them.

### Key Points to Remember:

- Some families resume cooking on **Chūyī (first day)** if necessary, but they avoid using sharp objects like knives.

- Others strictly avoid cooking until the **third day** (初三 | Chūsān) for maximum luck.

- Traditions vary by region and household.

It’s best to follow your family's customs or choose a day that feels right for you!

🌺

It is not entirely true that you shouldn't cook during **Chinese New Year**, but there are specific beliefs and practices tied to cooking, particularly on **New Year's Day** (the first day of the Lunar New Year). Here's why:

### Reasons Behind the Belief:

1. **Avoiding Sharp Objects**

Using knives or scissors is often avoided as they symbolize cutting away good fortune. This can make cooking less common on New Year's Day itself.

2. **Pre-prepared Meals**

Many families prepare large feasts on **Chinese New Year's Eve** to avoid cooking on New Year's Day. This allows everyone to relax and focus on celebrating, visiting relatives, and honoring traditions.

3. **Fire and Energy**

Some believe lighting fires (e.g., the stove) on New Year's Day can symbolize arguments or loss of wealth, so cooking is minimized.

4. **Rest for the Family**

It's considered auspicious to rest and enjoy the holiday without engaging in chores like cooking or cleaning, symbolizing a smooth and worry-free start to the year.

### Exceptions and Modern Practices:

- In many households, cooking still happens on New Year's Day, especially for smaller meals or for visiting guests.

- The key is to focus on **positive and harmonious actions**, avoiding anything that could bring bad luck.

While it's not a strict rule, refraining from cooking or limiting it on New Year's Day is a way to follow tradition and enjoy the festivities.

CAP GO MEH 3 Februari 2026

Cap Go Meh adalah hari ke-15 sekaligus penutup perayaan Tahun Baru Imlek 🧧✨

Nama ini dari dialek Hokkien:

Cap = sepuluh
Go = lima
Meh = malam
👉 jadi artinya malam ke-15 setelah Imlek.

Makna & tradisi Cap Go Meh

🎉 Penutup resmi Imlek
🌕 Dirayakan saat bulan purnama pertama di tahun baru
🏮 Identik dengan lampion, arak-arakan, barongsai, liong
🥢 Di beberapa daerah ada makanan khas (lontong Cap Go Meh di Indonesia)

Makna filosofisnya

🔮 Harapan agar keberuntungan & rezeki “lengkap”
🤝 Waktu untuk berkumpul & berdamai
🌙 Simbol kesempurnaan dan cahaya setelah awal baru

Di Tiongkok, Cap Go Meh juga dikenal sebagai Festival Lampion, bahkan sering dianggap “Valentine versi tradisional” karena dulu jadi momen orang muda saling bertemu 💕🏮

Di banyak keluarga Tionghoa (termasuk di Indonesia), makan besar = simbol penyempurnaan.

Makna makan besar saat Cap Go Meh

🍚 Menutup rangkaian Imlek dengan lengkap
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Tanda keluarga masih utuh & berkumpul
💰 Harapan rezeki mengalir sampai akhir tahun
❤️ Waktu berdamai, saling maaf, dan menghangatkan hubungan

Biasanya menunya juga nggak sembarangan:

🐔 Ayam / bebek → keberuntungan & kesetiaan
🐟 Ikan → rezeki berlebih (surplus)
🍜 Mi panjang → umur panjang
🥢 Sayur hijau → keseimbangan & kesehatan

Selain itu. Juga makan :

Tangyuan / Yuanxiao (Bola Ketan Manis)

Bentuknya bulat → simbol kebersamaan dan keutuhan keluarga.
Rasanya manis → simbol hubungan yang harmonis.

Kue keranjang (nian gao)
Biasanya sudah ada sejak Imlek.
Boleh tetap dimakan di Cap Go Meh, tapi bukan keharusan khusus hari itu.

Di Indonesia: Lontong Cap Go Meh
Ini tradisi lokal Tionghoa-Indonesia.
Bisa jadi hidangan utama kalau mau kumpul keluarga.

PANTHER

A panther (actually a term for black leopards or jaguars) cannot realistically be a pet 🚫.

Here’s why:

1️⃣ Wild Animal Nature

Panthers are apex predators with strong hunting instincts.
Even if raised from a cub, their natural aggression can appear suddenly.
They can weigh 60–100 kg, with bite and claw strength far beyond dogs or cats.

2️⃣ Legal Restrictions

In most countries, keeping big cats (panther, tiger, lion) is illegal without special wildlife permits.
Governments treat them as endangered species → protected under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

3️⃣ Practical Problems

They need huge space (territory in the wild is 20–100 km²).
Special diet (raw meat, bones, organs).
Veterinary care is complex and expensive.
Dangerous to humans, neighbors, and other pets.

4️⃣ Ethics

Keeping a panther as a pet removes it from its natural life and often leads to suffering.
Conservationists encourage protecting them in the wild or sanctuaries, not private homes.

✅ Alternative if you love panthers:

Support wildlife sanctuaries or adoption programs (symbolic adoption through WWF, etc.).
Have a domestic cat breed that looks like a panther, e.g., Bombay cat 🐈‍⬛ (they’re often called “mini panthers” — sleek black coat, copper eyes, affectionate personality).

👉 So, a true panther = no. A “panther-like” house cat = yes ✅.

Spider 🕷️ 🕸️

In many traditions, a big spider—especially one that shows up in your home—can be seen as a strong symbol of luck, protection, and abundance. Here’s why:

Size matters: A bigger spider often symbolizes a bigger “gift” or greater opportunity coming your way.
Web meaning: If it’s building a web, it could represent creativity, hard work paying off, or new opportunities in your life.
Protective energy: Some cultures see large spiders in the home as guardians against negative energy.

So your dad’s big spider might really be a positive sign, like a little messenger of good fortune. 🕷✨

Several cultures around the world have beliefs that spiders bring luck, especially big or noticeable ones. Here are some examples:

1. European Traditions

In Germany and Scandinavia, seeing a spider in the morning is thought to bring wealth and good fortune for the day.
A spider spinning a web inside the home can symbolize prosperity and creativity.

2. Slavic Folklore

Spiders are considered protective spirits. Killing a spider is often seen as bad luck, while letting it live can bring success and happiness.

3. Native American Beliefs

Many tribes see the spider as a symbol of wisdom, creativity, and protection. For example, the Spider Woman is a deity in Navajo and Hopi mythology, credited with teaching people how to weave and guiding them.

4. Asian Traditions

In China, spiders are associated with happiness and good fortune, especially if seen in the morning.
In Japan, a spider descending from the ceiling can be a sign of good luck.

5. African Folklore

The spider figure Anansi in West African mythology represents wisdom, storytelling, and cleverness, and can symbolize opportunities coming your way.

So your dad’s big spider could be interpreted as a symbol of luck and protection across multiple cultures.

Gunung Green Mountain 🏔️

Indonesia bukan negara dengan jumlah gunung terbanyak di dunia, TAPI… Indonesia adalah negara dengan gunung api aktif terbanyak 🌋✅

Penjelasannya 👇

🇮🇩 Indonesia punya sekitar 127 gunung api aktif → peringkat #1 dunia
Karena Indonesia berada di Cincin Api Pasifik (Ring of Fire)

Perbandingan cepat:

🌋 Gunung api aktif terbanyak → Indonesia
🏔️ Pegunungan/gunung terbanyak (non-vulkanik) → negara besar seperti China, Nepal, India, United States

👉 Jadi kalimat yang PALING AKURAT dan aman dipakai:
