Hui Chun 揮春 – Lucky Message 2006 (From Nic to Grandparents)
Contributed by Regina Fung

The above photo, the first of my four images, shows the Hui Chuns being pinned up on the wall of my parents’ home. My adorable nephew Nic, one of my favourite people, writes those small messages. These Hui Chuns are important to me because they represent a particular phase of my nephew’s childhood. Once he grows up, his writings will mature and he can no longer write such cute and sweet characters. Moreover, those lucky messages are meaningful for they carry the warm wishes that are sent by my nephew to my parents, with love. According to Chinese tradition, filial piety is precious and valuable, this notion of virtue should be passed on from generation to generation.

Hui Chun揮春 – Lucky Message (May All your Wishes Come True)

The above sample, the last image of this series, is a Hui Chun printed by a political party. This lucky message has used the traditional size and layout, and the design is relatively conservative. There is a pair of “brackets” in the opposite corners. It is a kind of paper-cutting pattern of Chinese art, commonly found in New Year’s decorative items. Floral patterns fill the paper background to add some Chinese flavour too.

The above sample, the 3rd image of this series, is also a Hui Chun produced by the bank. This design has used a symbol of an ancient Chinese coin to embody gold and silver. The icons, in big and small, have enhanced the lucky message. The background with the coin symbol is consistent with the image of a bank as well.

The above sample, the 2nd image of this series, is an example of a bank’s Hui Chun. The design has incorporated some cartoon image of pigs, (to symbolise richness), into the structure of the Chinese characters and included some paws as the background pattern of the square paper. These small decorative figures have added much vitality to the lucky message, creating a more interesting layout.
