U is hard to find. Can I have help with the missing letters please?

I can have more than one word too.

I'd do

F- Fireworks

Don't the rice gluten ball things start with a Y? Yuanzi or something; don't know Mandarin very well lol D:

"...U is for U and meee..."

ANYWAYS. Is uranium part of the tradition?

And also, if constelations are revelant... use them on C.

Y could be Fireworks. In Chinese 焰火 is Fireworks, pronounced Yan Huo.

For the Rice Ball thing, I think it's 湯圓 pronounced Tang Yuan. It's in a water base though, if that's what you were talking about. Who knows, my Mandarin isn't that good either, my Cantonese is a bit better.

Banned has something to do with Fireworks. And I might have to show this to 2-5 year olds so it'll might be easier if I had the english counterpart.

湯圓 Tang Yuan is the sesame stuff you put in your red bean soup.


and, whats the difference between yan huo and bien pao?

LOL

U is like impossible for a chinese kword 0_O

Happy New Years BTW xD

Y - Year cake (nian gao)

-shrug-
Isn't 'yuan zi' an alternative way to say 'tang yuan' though? Like... 'plane' instead of 'airplane' or 'phone' instead of 'telephone'... kinda.

/pinyin-using nub

No, it's not.

and, whats the difference between yan huo and bien pao?

I don't think there's a difference. Some words are interchangeable. Eg. Happy, elated, delighted, etc.

Answer in bold.

U- Ultra spectacular lunar new years?

for U, theres... taro? jade? capital of Mongolia?

W: Wealth
Y: Ying yang/ying-yang/ying and yang

I suggest you change D to dragon dance seeing as it's much more related to chinese new year. Anyhow I'll be searching for U now...

I thought the Xia dynasty was just a myth ?
