⚖️ 

Kamu butuh mendekat ke arah “panas” dalam kehidupan — makanan hangat, aksi cepat, dan gaya hidup berani.

Namun, jika kamu merasa sudah terlalu cepat marah atau terlalu overdrive, makanan dingin sesekali (seperti cincau) bisa bantu balance.

TEA PAI

No, the **Tea Pai (tea ceremony)** is typically associated with **Chinese weddings** rather than Chinese New Year. However, during **Chinese New Year**, there are traditions that involve respect and gift-giving among family members, which might feel similar in spirit:

### Chinese New Year Traditions

1. **Younger Generations Pay Respects**  

   Younger family members (like children and grandchildren) usually kneel or bow to their elders to wish them a happy and prosperous new year.

2. **Red Envelopes (Hongbao)**  

   In return, elders give red envelopes filled with money to the younger generation as a blessing for luck and prosperity.

3. **Tea Offering (Optional)**  

   In some families, offering tea during Chinese New Year can be a way to show respect, but it’s not as formal or ritualistic as Tea Pai during weddings.

While Tea Pai is specifically a wedding ritual, the spirit of respect and family bonding carries through in many Chinese New Year customs.
