中國駐英國大使館 參贊 李輝 二〇一六年新春
什么是中国年宵市场？ 中国年宵市场–在中国是一个除去不好的， 迎接好的民间習俗。在中国传统中， 我们会在市场裡买新的东西/服装/鞋/花/福句 俗稱辉春/灯笼等帶回家佈置擺放好。 每个家庭都将辉春貼在家中並掛上賀年灯笼及鮮年花， 来庆祝新年。所有家人及他们親人从其他国家返回來一同 慶祝新年。整理清潔的房子和穿上新衣服的意思是欢迎财神 来参观我们的房屋，希望财神满意，开心地把铙泒到每一家 每一户過一个肥年。並在整一年中求財顺利。 伯恩茅斯中国学校想和大家分享这个好传统 - 幸运的、 有意义的、给所有当地居民。祝福所有的人游访这个 CWW好运市场。购买帶幸运的物品、吃好東西， 并把好运帶回家。整整一年也好運。 希望每一个市民都喜欢 我们美丽的中国传统。 伯恩茅斯校監 贝蒂・杨 致意 伯恩茅斯中国学校

十二生肖2016運程 鼠 生肖鼠在2016猴年为三大合太岁的生肖之一，太岁是生肖鼠的三合贵人， 因得贵人相助 ，人缘佳，运势非常理想。同时，流年有正财星透出，主财 喜临门，正财运极佳，是充满 机遇与收获的一年。因逢三合贵人， 感情运有不错的收获，单身的生肖鼠今年是难得的姻 缘年。但是生肖鼠今年运势过旺，有高处不胜寒的旺极之势，要注 意物极必反，行动上要 量力而行，以免小人坏事。另需注意的是健康、意外、灾祸 方面。
牛 生肖牛今年拨开云雾见明月，整体运势不错，有正印星出现，正印星是一颗贵人星，利于 升学考试，对成年人的工作事业，功名成就、地位权力等起到一定的帮扶作用。只是今年 生肖牛容易出现凶险的血光之灾、意外横祸，要特别注意一下。总的来说今年生肖牛贵人 多出，生助有情，有生有泄，正所谓一通到底百事顺，纵有险阻福不弃, 可尽享一年旺运。
虎 生肖虎犯太岁，俗话说：“太岁不可冲，冲者必有祸”。钱财不利防贼盗，还要提防意外 灾”。大耗大耗，就像强盗，明的不得，暗的也要，由于受太岁攻伐克制的原因，往往受 制于人，才能得不到发挥，多成压抑之象。因此，生肖虎今年一整年，在生活、工作、心 理、健康等方面变动较多，轻者有波动，重者受损害，可谓是劳心重重，恋爱中的人最好 万事都应以稳定为主。尤其五黄凶星入命的原生肖虎身体因此受冲克最为明显，慎防疾病 突袭（特别是肝脏、四肢）。
兔 生肖兔进入2016年，首先是迎来了九紫旺神归临本宫，主桃花和添丁。同时，月德贵人入 命，所以生肖兔各方面在诸多正派贵人的压力下，小人匿藏，不敢出来作乱搅局，非常有 利于事业的发展和人际关系的培养。生肖兔还遇到正官流年，对于升职加薪、拓展事业， 在职场官场生意场大有帮助，并且自己此阶段有更高的追求和目标。但是同时由于逢太岁 克制，虽然力度较小，但逢太岁克，总体会难以安于现状，所以是付出较多、拼博奋斗的 一年。
龙 生肖龙有多助多福的一年，突出个人才华、特别升职加薪，尤其是职场官场生意场，文字 创意网络设计策划管理之类的职业，应该把握机会好好争取。同时，一白吉星飞临本宫， 加之有贵人关照把握商机收入多多，财福齐美，事业有成。同时，一白贪狼星到东南方巽 宫，也有利于学子们的学业运与升学运，运势还是不错。不过，虽然一白吉星可以很大程 度上化解五鬼凶星，但吉星化泄气后，力量减弱，所以生肖龙在今年要懂得借助其他力量 加以护运。
蛇 生肖蛇在2016易得贵人朋友帮扶，很多计划都会进展得比较顺利，做事处处事半功倍。又 遇禄星必然多福多寿，金玉满堂，可见运势相当的不错。六合太岁，合中带财，财旺以生 官，财官两旺，福星高照，运势非常理想，婚恋运势不错。但需注意的是防旧疾加重，特 别是心血管、呼吸系统及血液疾病，如有词讼及小人事非者也难以脱身，往往会纠缠不清 越陷越深，最好避免过多纠缠。
十二生肖2016運程 马 生肖马进入2016丙申年，“六白”武曲星飞入命宫，对仕途、公职方面的人士亦会有帮助 ，今年属马之人在做事方面的态度积极进取，能遇到不少机遇，所以，从事公职的人员或 者大企业的中高层人士今年有较好的发展机会，经商之人也容易获得一定的财富，要好好 把握，宜稳步前进，避免好大喜功和凡事过于理想化的心态。生肖马整体运势吉凶参半， 只有化去凶煞，方能吉祥平安。
羊 生肖羊进入2016丙申年，生太岁，又见印星，是头脑知识增长、功名有成的一年，运势相 当不错。以礼待人，聪明勤勉，有喜事降临。金舆乃贵人所乘之车，譬之君子居官得禄， 非常利于职场运和事业的发展，积极努力进取应该有所进步。但是遭遇天空星，身体容易 出问题，所以生肖羊不要太掉以轻心。生肖羊的整体运势来说贵人多出，凶煞虽然严重还 好入命不多，及时化解可保一年吉顺。
猴 生肖猴今年本命年犯太岁，生活和工作中易出现许多突如其来的变化，本命年实际上是伏 吟在作怪，容易导致一整年的心境郁郁不振，也有另起炉灶之征，专门破坏婚姻宫。因此 本命年的生肖猴运势起伏较大，压力不小，事业、感情等方面容易举步维艰。但不必灰心 丧气，万事车到山前必有路，需要多与人交流，并要虚心接纳建议和良言，自我调节，凡 事应以稳为先，本年不宜操之过急，整体宜静不宜动。
鸡 生肖鸡在2016丙申年，首先是遇到了天乙贵人，非常有助于公职人员的升迁，同时又遇到 正官贵人，充满正能量，并且对自己以往的缺陷会有所改观，是重生与再造的一年。太岁 为比劫，一方面婚恋上会出现争夺和失和；另一方面，有可共患难但难有共富贵的朋友。 同时四绿木星入命不旺，四绿星主文昌、科名，不利考试求功名或参加公职竞争。因此一 年多反复，是需要坚定信念，切勿左右两盼，否则会因不专一而失败。
狗 生肖狗2016年功名和贵人运利，事业趋势十分良好，被人重视，但因生太岁的原因必须多 付出才有回报，并且有时过于为他人着想而少不了吃苦头。财运上平平，由于受到天狗运 的影响，心里忧思重重有不安感，容易在婚姻感情上让对方陷入迷茫与不理解。属狗人今 年健康方面很不错。只是流年遇到吊客，容易有好事变坏，生肖狗要在好运中不掉以轻心 ，遇到坏事多做调整不宜灰心丧气。
猪 生肖猪为2016年犯太岁，各方面运势都会受到莫大的影响, 所以生肖猪今年万事小心谨慎 ，防人之心不可无，切记保守发展，看起来不错的偏财运势，可能暗藏着陷阱。感情也不 要轻信外人谗言，避免夫妻或恋人因外人的挑拨而关系疏远，甚至反目。因此今年也不利 与人合作，多有不吉，防外伤，容易患病，所以要注意。不过，生肖猪好在“福德”“天 德”两大吉星缓解了流年，整年运势吉凶参半。

Support the Community Not only is a multicultural celebration, Chinese Winter Wonderland is also a non-profit project to support Dorset Race Equality Council (Dorset REC, Charity No: 1104642), Dorset County Council and Bournemouth Chinese School (Charity No. 01162663). These charities are focused on a support service project to benefit and support people with their day-to-day life event, from arranging a doctor appointment to attending specialist appointment. Many people have English as their second language, Asians, Indians, Africans… and also including European. When people get old or when they first reach a new environment, they would not feel confident to approach help when needed. Sometimes conflicts simply result from the language barriers and its embarrassment. The support services is set out to provide necessary support to those `less able' English speakers to understand the changes in lives and the constantly Changing world. This project will set its first step in Dorset (a very DIVERT place) and work on more locations. Part of its work will create a radio project to bring different generations together and allow them to share their knowledge and wisdom of their own. It’s important to learn and share experience from all angles in life, bringing people closer together and creating a beautiful environment. Following this will be a Telephone Help Line set up to assist all non-English speakers breaking down language barriers and accessing services more easily. All in all, its job is to boost quality of life and community cohesion, and counteract effects of isolation, misunderstanding or discrimination, that people from ethnic minority communities sometimes experience. Thereby, it will create the wisdom of knowledge, live and living, and harmony for as many as it can benefit.
這是一項非盈利活動， 宗旨為慈善機構籌款。 這慈善機構主要是為了 缺乏英語溝通的人士而 設，策劃在近期內設立 廣播電台以及補助電話 熱線，協助需要人士在 英國生活上的基本溝通 需求。

Like the western 12 astrology signs, the Chinese 12 zodiac animal signs also provide guidance on people’s love match and personality analysis, while the difference lies in the time division: western astrology signs are marked by 12 months according to Gregorian calendar, while Chinese animal signs are defined by a 12-year circle.

Chinese Winter Wonderland learnt about the Bournemouth Chinese School when I carried out the Role as Mayor of Bournemouth in 2009/2010. Betty Yeung invited me to attend many functions including the successful Chinese New Year Celebrations in partnership with Bournemouth Borough Council with events particularly the Lantern festival and workshops held at the Bournemouth Library teaching children about the Chinese culture. I had the pleasure of presenting children from the Bournemouth Chinese School with certificates at the Academic year & Student Awards Ceremony. I was asked to become a Governor of the School and have performed this role to the present time. The School is a registered charity it’s aim is to bring together those with different cultures by promoting and embracing their cultural heritage through festive celebration events, language lessons, workshops and many other activities. The School celebrated the first Dragon Boat Festival during the summer of 2015. I am delighted to support the Chinese Winter Wonderland a free event to be held on 30/31st January 2016 in Boscombe together with the Chinese Embassy and Bournemouth Borough Council and Bournemouth Coastal Bid. Betty, Catherine and all are to be congratulated on all their hard work in putting on this event. China’s President Mr Xi Jinping visited the United Kingdom with his wife Peng Liyuan during October 2015. The purpose of the visit was to encourage the Chinese in establishing a business partnership between China and England. The Chinese culture would like to play a part in promoting the friendship between England and China. Beryl Baxter Mayor of Bournemouth 2009/2010
Chinese Winter Wonderland Bournemouth Borough Council is delighted to support the inaugural 2016 Chinese Winter Wonderland. We are thrilled Bournemouth has been chosen to host the event – the first of its kind in the South of England! The event promises to be rich in culture, generating harmony and optimism for the year ahead – the Year of the Monkey. Bringing people together from different ethnic groups, with different beliefs, languages and traditions helps to create understanding, recognition and acceptance that we are not all the same. This is not something we need or should seek to change; it is something to celebrate. The Winter Wonderland event promises to do just that and will help Build a Better Bournemouth. It will complement the exemplary work the Council does to bring communities together, to reduce isolation and discrimination, and promote social inclusion. The Asian community is well represented in Bournemouth – over 4% of the resident population. Taken together with other ethnic groups, it is the most culturally and ethnically diverse area in Dorset. It is also the most popular place in the United Kingdom for English language study outside the capital, with over 50,000 international students electing to study here. With seven miles of award-winning sandy beaches, significant student accommodation, over 2000 acres of award-winning parks and gardens, and a vibrant nightlife, it is little wonder that Bournemouth is the UK’s premier coastal resort, and the perfect location for this engaging event. We look forward to a multicultural weekend of fun and celebration, and welcoming people from a variety of backgrounds to enjoy the market and join in the live entertainment. We wish to congratulate the organisers on bringing what promises to be an exciting celebration of Chinese culture to Bournemouth and hope this is an event that will continue to grow and develop in future years. Kung Hei Fat Choy! Tony Williams Chief Executive Bournemouth Borough Council
“Coastal BID helps the Chinese New Year swing into the Year of the Monkey!” The Coastal Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to fund and help to secure the inaugural Chinese Winter Wonderland which is taking place in Boscombe this year on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st January. The festival, which is set to wow, boasts a vast number of acts performing at Boscombe precinct celebrating Chinese New Year and swinging into the Year of the Monkey! The Chinese Winter Wonderland builds on the resounding success of Boscombe’s existing annual Chinese New Year celebrations which, year on year in partnership with the Sovereign Centre, have brought visitors in to Boscombe to relax and enjoy the cultural programme that is on offer. At this year’s event the Year of the Monkey will be ushered in with an eye catching dragon and lion dance and shoppers will be treated to a mix of dance, live music, craft stalls, Kung Fu dancing, a Chinese fashion show and a cultural explosion of food which will celebrate the different cultures of Korea, Nepal, Vietnam, Thailand and Thaiwan. Paul Clarke, Coastal BID Chairman and General Manager of the Bournemouth Hallmark West Cliff Hotel enthused, “We are thrilled to be supporting the Chinese Education School who are launching this new Chinese Winter Wonderland. It is allowing them to really showcase everything that Chinese New Year can offer. There will certainly be a real buzz and vibe around Boscombe as visitors are treated to this amazingly diverse mix of Chinese culture and traditions.” Coastal BID Manager Stefan Krause advised, “I know many local people who have invited friends to come and stay in Bournemouth especially to visit the Chinese Winter Wonderland and visitors will discover a vast variety of Chinese culture and genuine food offers. This festival really does have something to appeal to all ages!” Stefan Krause continued, “People clearly love and enjoy all that Boscombe has to offer, from the Countdown to Christmas to the Chinese New Year Celebrations. This winter season captures peoples’ imaginations and we have already received positive feedback of how we are improving shoppers and visitors experiences in Boscombe all year round.”
