Chinese wedding traditions place great importance on rituals and customs that honor family values. The wedding process was traditionally arranged through a matchmaker and focused on negotiations between the bride and groom's parents. Elaborate preparations for the wedding included installing a bridal bed, exchanging dowries, and decorating the wedding sites with red banners symbolizing joy. Though the ceremony itself was simple, involving bowing at the altar, elaborate rituals surrounded the preparations and continued for three days after the wedding.
Chinese religion is a syncretic tradition combining elements of animism, Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Early Chinese religion involved polytheism, ancestor worship, and a focus on morality.

Confucianism focuses on social order and ethics. The Chinese government has tried to regulate this complex religious system over time.

On the wedding day, the bride is bathed and dressed, then carried to the groom's house in a chair. Traditional wedding attire includes a red veil and jacket for the bride and a black silk coat for the groom. Flowers, firecrackers, and money packets are part of the procession.

The Spring Festival is an important Chinese holiday that originated in the Shang Dynasty and falls on the first day of the first lunar month. Traditions include cleaning homes, decorating with couplets and pictures, hanging lanterns, and spending time with family over the first three days. The Lantern Festival falls 15 days later and involves watching lanterns, guessing riddles, and eating rice dumplings. Other festivals described include Qingming (sweeping tombs), Dragon Boat Racing, the Double Seventh Festival celebrating the Cowherd and Weaver Maid star-crossed lovers, and the Mid-Autumn Festival involving the story of Hou Yi.
According to Chinese folklore, the Chinese New Year celebrations originated from legends about a mythical beast called the Nien that would attack villages on New Year's Eve. Villagers discovered the Nien was afraid of the color red, loud noises, and fire, so they would hang red lanterns and set off firecrackers to ward it off. Over time, these traditions evolved into the colorful celebrations of the Chinese New Year, with activities like spring cleaning, wearing new clothes, hanging couplets, reunions over special meals, and giving "lucky money" in red envelopes. Some similarities have also been observed between Chinese New Year customs and the Jewish Passover traditions.

Translation #1 confucius (chinese and malay)Isaac Low
Chinese culture can be traced back probably hundreds of hundreds of years. The most important period was likely during the reign of Confucius. Even during the time of Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of China during WWII, the teachings of Confucius were still relevant, as well as during the times of Sun Yat-sen.
