Despite the fact that the eastern culture is very far from Slavic, its individual elements are more and more densely entering everyday life. This is especially true of the New Year traditions, since in China they are very peculiar and interesting. For several decades in a row, in preparation for the New Year's Eve, people have been wondering which animal will become its symbol in the Chinese calendar and what measures must be observed to evoke the favor of the totem of the next 12 months. 2020 will not be an exception, which will be held under the symbol of the Gray Metal Rat.
Anyone who is preparing to celebrate the New Year knows that there are no secondary issues on the planet for the main holiday: the dishes, the decor of the room, the outfits, the make-up are important, but the most important, of course, is the excellent festive mood and the opportunity to give gifts to relatives and friends.
Meeting point
An important issue for many is where it is best to have a New Year celebration. To find out, just remember the 2020 totem - the Gray Metal Rat.
Since rats live in rather large packs, it is best to spend this night surrounded by family and friends. It is not necessary to limit oneself only to immediate relatives: it will be great if the whole large family gathers together.
You can stay in your "mink", but the option to go on a visit or even travel to another city is not ruled out. You only need to try to make the holiday atmosphere cozy enough. The Rat is very supportive of walking in the fresh air, so immediately after midnight you can go out together, visit a smart Christmas tree in the town square, or simply admire the fireworks and fireworks in the night sky above your head.
Training outfit
Perhaps this is the point from which many start planning celebrations, especially when it comes to women. As for the color palette, even without unnecessary reminders, it is clear that gray is best. And any shades of it will be equally good: starting from a noble light gray and ending with almost black.
The Gray Metal Rat favors other calm tones of the pastel palette: milk, white, chocolate and so on. Perfect if the fabric will be with a metallic sheen or lurex.
As for the outfit itself, it is important to choose one that will be strict, but very elegant. Too short and revealing dresses, skirts, shorts are far from the best option, and the adjacent evening dress in the floor or a trouser suit made of high-quality fabric is perfect for this occasion. Such an elegant accessory, such as a fur cape or a gray scarf, will be very appropriate.
But you can show a real flight of imagination in terms of the selection of jewelry and accessories. Silver products with a glossy sheen will be a great addition to the New Year's outfit, and a set of white gold is no less suitable. Since the Gray Metal Rat is a domestic animal, it favors any handbags and clutches if they skillfully complement the image.
The main rule that must not be violated: any cat prints, leopard coloring and other allusions to the cat family should be avoided in the outfit.
Makeup and hairstyle
Gray Metal Rat provides a wide variety of makeup choices.Fortunately, gray tones are universal for make-up, so any young girl or woman aged can apply them. It is important not to overdo it, because one of the main features of the totem of the New Year 2020 is moderation and modesty. Young girls will be able to afford pearly shiny shadows.
In makeup, it is better to avoid long feline arrows, and focus on thick eyelashes. Dark Metallic Rat will not like dark lipstick, but bright red, pink, peach, carrot, scarlet will be just right.
Special attention should be paid to the hairstyle. To celebrate New Year's Eve, owners of long hair are advised to avoid excessive pomp: boucle, high “pyramids” can be left for the following celebrations. Ideal for the created image will be a smooth contour, which will provide hairstyles based on a ponytail or gulka. Girls and women with medium-length hair can be laid with an iron, which in combination with bright lipstick will look very harmonious. A perfect complement will be the highlighting of a separate strand with a lacquer with glitter that will give metal motifs to the image.
Decoration and decor
When decorating a New Year tree, a room in which to celebrate a holiday, a New Year's table, you need to use the basic colors that are pleasing to the Gray Metal Rat - white and gray. Silver or golden tinsel can be everywhere: not on the Christmas tree, on chairs, on chandeliers, glasses, etc. Shiny snowflakes and stars will make the atmosphere festive and winter even in those regions where there will be no snow for the New Year.
Of particular importance for a symbolic animal is the fireplace as the main source of domestic heat. Garlands look great above him. The mantelpiece should be decorated with candles in silver candlesticks.
To decorate the table, you can buy a special tablecloth with drawings of the symbol of the New Year 2020. If desired, it is not difficult to find themed napkins to finally appease a symbolic animal. If possible, it is best to use silver or cupronickel ware.
What dishes to cook
The rat is an omnivorous animal, therefore, problems with the choice of dishes for the New Year's Eve 2020 should not arise. The main thing is that the choice is varied, so there must be meat dishes, and fish, and salads, and hot snacks - all signs of abundance.
A special place can be allocated for cereals and baking. Some even advise you to put a small platter on the table into which you can pour a small handful of raw wheat. The place of the central dish can be reserved for a cheese plate, which will also appeal to the rodent.
According to the Eastern tradition, the emphasis is on cereals, so rice, lentils, buckwheat, etc. are suitable as a side dish. Children and adults will enjoy rats made from halves of boiled eggs. A great idea would be a cake with a portrait of a cheerful rodent that will delight all guests at the end of the holiday. Gray Metal Rat loves variety, so multi-component interesting cocktails will be the best aperitif.
Gifts
No New Year celebration is complete without gifts. Both children and adults with awe take surprises and souvenirs as a gift. But no less fun people get while preparing gifts for loved ones. Those who strictly adhere to oriental traditions need to know which options will be the most suitable in 2020, so as not only to make it pleasant for the one who is waiting for the presentation, but also to give him good luck for the next 12 months.
The most thematic, of course, will be a gift in the form of a cheese head. This trend has been striding the planet for a long time, but in 2020 it will probably reach its peak. To be especially original, you can choose an interesting variety, especially since there are no problems with the choice now.For those to whom such a gift seems too cheap, you should know that the prices of individual elite varieties of cheese are estimated at hundreds of dollars per kilogram. But in most cases, cheese only serves as a complement to the main surprise.
The best gift would be something practical that will appeal to the economic symbol of 2020. Anything that will improve your life or health is perfect. The main thing is to avoid souvenirs, images, calendars and figurines of cats.
Armed with knowledge, you can begin full-scale preparation for the New Year 2020. You should meet him by all the rules, not forgetting the most basic rule of a successful holiday: to remain in a good mood both before and during the New Year's Eve.
