Stations with crafts, gifts and information about the Lunar New Year were scattered in the pavilion, and many students left with an airbrush tattoo, a bamboo plant and a lucky red envelope.<\/p>\n<p>An event highlight was Lion Dancing, a traditional performance done by two dancers in a lion costume. The dancers will mimic a lion\u2019s movements, often performing complicated stunts to bring luck and good fortune for the new year. This athletically challenging dance is captivating to watch, with its swirl of bright colors and remarkably animal-like movements. The Lion Dancers circulated among the crowd, attracting attention wherever they danced.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Cultural Club head Alex Pomrenke, a junior <a href=\"\/biology\/\">biology<\/a> student from Normal, Indiana, began the club to focus specifically on sharing the culture, traditions and language of China with Eckerd. Although Alex also is on the board of All About Asians, another club centering on the Asian experience at Eckerd, they feel having a place specifically for Chinese students is important. \u201c[The Chinese Cultural Club] focuses on teaching and sharing Chinese culture; whereas, All About Asians is more of a gathering place for people who already have any level of interest in Asian culture,\u201d Alex said.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221;

Mellen Carroll, a sophomore <a href=\"\/communication\/\">communication<\/a> student from Avon, Connecticut, particularly loved the performances and the food <a href=\"https:\/\/eckerd.cafebonappetit.com\/\">catered by Bon App\u00e9tit<\/a>. \u201cThe food was amazing and the activities are great,\u201d they said. \u201cThere\u2019s so much fun going on here at the GO Pavilion tonight \u2026 whimsy is alive and well!\u201d Mellen took home some lucky bamboo, a red envelope and a paper lantern they made themself, as well as a temporary airbrushed butterfly tattoo on their arm.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of this Lunar New Year celebration was to observe this incredibly important festive holiday and to share the beauty of Chinese culture with people who might be unfamiliar with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that China is often vilified in America \u2026,\u201d Alex said. \u201cI hope this event shows people that just because it\u2019s from China doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s bad. I want to share because that\u2019s also a big part of Chinese culture.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extraa-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":16202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[877,161,159],"tags":[1178,1179,935,1177],"class_list":{"0":"post-16174","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international","8":"category-student-life","9":"category-students","10":"tag-all-about-asians","11":"tag-chinese-culture","12":"tag-go","13":"tag-lunar-new-year"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
