Authentic, Ancient, Vibrant CCC Year of the Snake
Lunar New Year Gala Show
In Chinese folk culture, the snake was once the earliest totem of the Chinese nation and so has been called the ancestor god. Goddess Nuawa, who used her own body to fix the falling sky to save humankind on earth, has a human head and snake body.
As one of the traditional Chinese zodiac signs, the snake follows the dragon and is often called the "little dragon." 2025 is the Year of the Green Snake, so it is also known as the "Little Green Dragon" year. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake symbolizes wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation. Those born in the Year of the Snake are often regarded as intuitive, strategic, and intelligent.
The Chinese Community Center was founded in 1973 and this will be its 52nd Lunar New Year show. It started as a small celebration and now has grown into a Gala show with an audience of hundreds from across the Capital Region. It features both community-based programs and professional performers.
Last year's Year of the Dragon Lunar New Year show in the Egg was sold out, demonstrating the popularity of the CCC Lunar New Year show and the dedication of the CCC performers.
This year the CCC will present a show with eighteen exciting performances and will be the largest performing team in CCC history. The program will include audience favorites such as authentic Peking Opera, Chinese Kungfu, elegant traditional fan and long sleeve dances, Mongolian dances, an upscale chorus, a folk instrument ensemble, modern hip-hop dance and more.

纽约首府华社蛇年春晚
农历蛇年来了。在华夏民俗文化中，蛇曾经是华夏民族最早的图腾，被称为始祖神，伏羲，女娲均是人头蛇身。在全球范围内，蛇还是财富和权利的象征。古埃及，古印度文化均认为蛇是宝藏的守护神，蛇的形象遍布于世界各地的文明遗迹之中。
作为中国传统十二生肖之一，蛇紧随龙后，通常被称为“小龙”。中国蛇文化中，龙是由蛇变化而来，蛇因此被称为“小龙”以示尊崇。蛇脱下的皮叫蛇蜕，也被称为“龙衣”。中国农历二月二是惊蛰后万物复苏的时节也是蛇结束冬眠的日子，被称为“龙抬头”。这些都是把蛇比为龙的古老而神秘的蛇文化。2025年是乙巳年是青蛇年，也称之为“小青龙”年。
