Although most people in China don&#8217;t celebrate Christmas in the religious sense of the word, they sure love the discounts in the stores and gladly take the excuse for a celebration. The holiday is more and more popular, especially amongst young people &#8211; probably thanks to their English teachers and the amount of Western media they consume.

Let&#8217;s see what the characters mean individually to better help you understand the word:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u5723 (sh\u00e8ng) means &#8220;saint.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\u8bde (d\u00e0n) means &#8220;birth.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\u8282 (ji\u00e9) means &#8220;festival&#8221; or &#8220;holiday.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, all together the word for Christmas means &#8220;the birth of a saint holiday.&#8221; Despite the name of the holiday, you&#8217;d be surprised at how many people in China still don&#8217;t know the reason for the season.<\/p>\n<p>In Chinese, an easy way to wish someone a &#8220;happy&#8221; or &#8220;merry&#8221; holiday is simply to add the word \u5feb\u4e50 (ku\u00e0i l\u00e8). Unlike in English, where we&#8217;d say &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; or &#8220;Merry Christmas,&#8221; the word for &#8220;happy\/merry&#8221; comes after the name of the holiday when you say it in Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s common to shorten words in Chinese, and the phrase &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; is no different. You can drop the character\u00a0\u8282 and just say this:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u5723\u8bde\u5feb\u4e50 (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n ku\u00e0i l\u00e8)<\/h2>\n<p>Either way you say it, people will understand what you&#8217;re going for and will most likely reciprocate with a Christmas greeting of their own.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Learn Christmas and related terms in Mandarin Chinese \u5723\u8bde\u5feb\u4e50\uff01\u2764Learn Chinese with Emma\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LzXUirX4d6c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Saying it is fun and all, but at this point you might as well learn how to sing it in Chinese:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">We wish you a Merry Christmas&#8230;<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u6211\u4eec\u795d\u4f60\u5723\u8bde\u5feb\u4e50<br \/>\nw\u01d2 men zh\u00f9 n\u01d0 sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n ku\u00e0i l\u00e8<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">&#8230; and a Happy New Year.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u795d\u4f60\u65b0\u5e74\u5feb\u4e50<br \/>\nzh\u00f9 n\u01d0 x\u012bn ni\u00e1n ku\u00e0i l\u00e8<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We wish you a merry Christmas(Chinese Version)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NlRRnxAXquE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Check this past post for more on <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/chinese-christmas-vocabulary\/\">Christmas in China and some useful holiday vocabulary<\/a>, and be sure to check the blog on Christmas for a very special video present from us to you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/12\/santacon-350x263.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/12\/santacon-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/12\/santacon.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>It&#8217;s that time of year again, when &#8220;Jingle Bells&#8221; is playing non-stop, shopping malls have decked their halls, and &#8220;Christmas Old Man&#8221; (\u5723\u8bde\u8001\u4eba &#8211; sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n l\u01ceo r\u00e9n) can be seen all across the Middle Kingdom.
