The traditional concept of "Sui Zhao" refers specifically to the first day of the Lunar New Year. However, the festive atmosphere of the New Year often extends throughout the first month of the lunar calendar. As noted in the Shangshu Dazhuan (Great Commentary on the Book of Documents), "Sui Zhao" represents the "Morning of the Year, the Morning of the Month, and the Morning of the Day." For this reason, it is known as the "Three Mornings" or the "Three Beginnings."
By creating floral arrangements to celebrate the New Year, we welcome auspiciousness and pray for good fortune and blessings.
In these floral arrangements, various ingredients serve as symbols of good fortune: tangerines for luck; tangerine and lychee combinations for "great prosperity"; ginger symbolising "the nation"; red chilies for a "flourishing life"; and garlic.
