Happy Chinese
New Year!
The strange butterfly design
in the drawing at far right is a
New Year’s greeting that I
should like to pass on to each
and every This Week reader.
In case you think the sen
timent is a bit tardy, let me
assure you that it's right on
time. It’s a Chinese greeting and Monday is
the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, in case you’re a little rusty on
your butterfly-reading, I’ll translate: It means
Good Luck, Long Life and Happiness!
Dong Kingman, the well-known Chinese-
American artist, handed it to me the other
day at lunch, and as I admired it, he told me,
"The butterflies spell out a Chinese char
acter.” He took a crayon-pencil from his
pocket and drew it for me on a sketch pad.
Study it for yourself. It’s fascinating to
see how closely the butterfly
greeting resembles the written
character.
Lunch with Dong Kingman
can turn up any number of as
sorted topics. He’s great on Orien-
tai gastronomy —a veritable Duncan Hines
of Chinese restaurants. He can tell you all
about Hollywood too, for he has recently
done a unique job of water-color designing
for "Flower Drum Song.” But Dong is
at his best when he talks and draws of
Chinese folkways.
“Chinese New Year is even happier than
American New Year,” he told me, "because
it is also everybody’s birthday. You see, the
Chinese do not celebrate individual birth
days. They all think of New Year’s as the
special day: The little girl of five and the
great statesman of fifty both say, ’Today I
am one year older.’ So they both shoot off
firecrackers and have a splendid time.
"It is an especially happy holiday for
children, for they go from door to door and
receive gifts of money. It is rather like the
American custom of Trick-or-Treat at Hal
loween. Os course, the gifts are not very
great, but each coin is neatly wrapped in red
paper which is the color for good luck.
That makes it seem more won-
derful.”
While he was speaking,
Dong sketched out the picture
at right.
"And this may strike you
as funny: Any man who is not
PUNCHROWL
married is considered a ’child.’
For instance if you are an adult
I mean, if you are married
and you have a fifty-year
old bachelor cousin, you give
him a coin wrapped in red
paper, for he is a ’child.’ ”
DonQ KingmNi
Dong told me that on New Year’s Eve
the firecrackers start banging away and go
off all night. New Year’s Day is like here
everybody sleeps late to recover.
"Except the children maybe they play
the Magic Mouse game. That is just another
example of how the Chinese like to have fun
with their words.”
He opened his drawing-pad again and
sketched out this character:
/X
"That means Magic, or Change. So the
children take that word and draw a mouse
around it, like this:
"So, you see, you have your Magic
Mouse. And the child who draws it best is
considered very wise indeed.
"But the big event at New Year’s is the
Lion Dance. Every town has its Lion-Dance
team, just as we have local baseball teams
in America. These fellows dance along the
streets, headed by the two most important
players, who carry the paper head and the
body of the lion. Well, whenever they come
to a shop, they see a ball of money hanging
high above the doorway. So the members of
" w'
st*™
"It is generally for a charity, you know in
keeping with the spirit of New Year’s.”
And in the spirit of New Year’s, let me
once again wish all readers a 1962 full of
butterflies and just for good measure, a
Magic Mouse.

the team form a human pyra
mid, and the two fellows in
the Lion must scramble up
the pyramid to get the green
paper. Here, I will show you
how it works.” And he drew
it for me on his pad.
"Does the Lion get to
keep the money?” I asked.
"Oh, no,” Dong laughed.
