Ma ka Pōʻakahi, ʻo ka hoʻomana ʻana i nā kūpuna, ka ʻai ʻana i ka makahiki hou, ka hiamoe pō, a me ke kipa ʻana i nā hale kūʻai pua, he mea maʻamau ia no ka poʻe o Guangzhou e haʻi aku i ka makahiki kahiko a hoʻokipa i ka makahiki hou.I ka lā mua o ka Makahiki Hou, hoʻomaka nā wahi kuaʻāina a me nā kūlanakauhale e hoʻolauleʻa i ka makahiki hou mai ke kakahiaka nui.Hoʻomana lākou i nā akua a me ke Akua Waiwai, hoʻopau i nā mea puhi ahi, aloha aku i ka makahiki kahiko a hoʻokipa i ka makahiki hou, a komo i nā hoʻolauleʻa makahiki hou.

ʻO ka lā ʻelua o ka Makahiki Hou ka hoʻomaka kūhelu o ka makahiki.Hāʻawi ka poʻe i nā meaʻai iʻa a me nā ʻiʻo i nā akua a me nā kūpuna, a laila e ʻai i ka makahiki hou.ʻO ia hoʻi ka lā e hoʻi ai nā kaikamāhine male i ka home o ko lākou mau mākua, a hele pū ʻia me kā lākou kāne, no laila ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Welcoming the Son-in-law Day".Mai ka lā ʻelua o ka Makahiki Hou, kipa ka poʻe i nā ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha e uku i nā kipa Makahiki Hou, a ʻoiaʻiʻo, lawe lākou i nā ʻeke makana e hōʻike ana i ko lākou makemake maikaʻi.Ma waho aʻe o nā mea ʻulaʻula maikaʻi, loaʻa pinepine nā ʻeke makana i nā ʻalani nui a me nā tangerines e hōʻailona ana i ka pōmaikaʻi.

ʻO ka lā ʻehā o ka makahiki hou ka lā e hoʻomana ai i ke Akua o ka waiwai.

Ma ka lā ʻeono o ka Makahiki Hou, wehe ʻia nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina no ka ʻoihana a hoʻopau ʻia nā mea puhi ahi, e like me ka Pōʻalima.

Ua kapa ʻia ka hiku o ka lā ʻo Renri (Human's Day), a ʻaʻole maʻamau ka poʻe e hele i waho e uku i nā kipa Makahiki Hou i kēia lā.

ʻO ka lā ʻewalu ka lā e hoʻomaka ai i ka hana ma hope o ka makahiki hou.Hāʻawi ʻia nā envelopes ʻulaʻula i nā limahana, a ʻo ia ka mea mua a nā luna ma Guangdong e hana ai i ko lākou lā mua e hoʻi ai i ka hana ma hope o ka Makahiki Hou.Hoʻopau maʻamau ka kipa ʻana i nā ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha ma mua o ka ʻewalu o ka lā, a mai ka ʻewalu o ka lā ma mua (hoʻomaka kekahi mau wahi mai ka lā ʻelua), mālama ʻia nā ʻano hoʻolauleʻa a me nā hana hoʻomana like ʻole, me nā hana moʻomeheu.ʻO ke kumu nui, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā akua a me nā kūpuna, ke pale aku i nā ʻuhane ʻino, ka pule no ka maikaʻi o ka wā, nā ʻoihana waiwai, a me ka maluhia o ka ʻāina a me nā kānaka.Hoʻomau mau nā hana ʻoliʻoli a hiki i ka lā ʻumikūmālima a ʻumikūmāiwa paha o ka kalena lunar.

Hōʻike kēia mau ʻano hoʻolauleʻa hoʻolauleʻa i ka ʻiʻini a me ka makemake o ka poʻe i ke ola maikaʻi aʻe.ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā loina Spring Festival ka hopena o ka hōʻiliʻili lōʻihi a me ka hui pū ʻana o ka mōʻaukala lāhui a me ka moʻomeheu Kina.Lawe lākou i nā manaʻo moʻomeheu waiwai a me ka moʻomeheu i ko lākou hoʻoilina a me ka ulu ʻana.

Ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi o ka ʻoihana panakō mana, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Relink i kekahi mau hana no kēia ʻahaʻaina.

ʻO ka mea mua, ua hoʻonani ʻia ko mākou keʻena me nā kukui ʻulaʻula, e hōʻailona ana i ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka pōmaikaʻi no ka makahiki e hiki mai ana.ʻO ka lua, ua kau mākou i nā hui e hāʻawi i nā pōmaikaʻi a me nā manaʻo maikaʻi i nā mea a pau.

I ka lā mua o ka hana, ua loaʻa i kēlā me kēia lālā o ka hui he enveloppe ʻulaʻula i hōʻailona o ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka pōmaikaʻi i ka makahiki hou.

Makemake mākou i nā mea a pau i ka makahiki pōmaikaʻi ma mua me ka nui o ka waiwai a me nā manawa ʻoihana.
