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.
