Thoughts: Suria KLCC will be welcoming the 2022 Chinese New Year by turning its Center Count into a 皇宮 Royal Palace setting from 7 January to 13 February. Inspired by a 中國園林景觀 Chinese garden landscapes, the Centre Court is transformed into an ancient Chinese Palace with the colors of Green, Yellow, and Red. The construct includes the placement of 石狮子 two stone-carved imperial guardian lions, a bridge crossing a 蓮花池 lotus pond to a 中國傳統建築園林亭子 traditional Chinese architecture garden pavilion at the center, , along with beautiful hanging 紅燈籠 red lanterns, 粉紅色的櫻花 pink cherry blossoms adorning the made-made landscape.

Just outside of the mall, at the Esplanade KLCC, after being last seen in 2020, 馬來西亞最高寶塔複製品 Malaysia’s tallest pagoda replica standing at 70-ft tall which entered the 馬來西亞紀錄大全 Malaysia Book of Records as the tallest pagoda replica is back as this years Chinese New Year decoration.

Thoughts: KL's Avenue K showcase "風車 Pinwheels" as the main theme for 2022 Chinese New Year decorations. The use of the Pinwheels as the theme for this year CNY decoration is probably quite appropriate (hopeful for the Pandemic recovery) as In Chinese culture, for example, the 風車 pinwheel signifies “轉機 turning one's luck around”; the pinwheel figures prominently in 農曆新年 Chinese New Year celebrations where it is represents 好運 good luck, 長壽 longevity, 健康health and 繁榮 prosperity.

A 風車 pinwheel is a simple child's toy made of a wheel of paper or plastic curls attached at its axle to a stick by a pin. It is designed to spin when blown upon by a person or by the wind. It is a predecessor to more complex "Whirligigs". The first inventor of the "旋風車 Whirligig", or "風車 Pinwheel", is not known. However, history does indicate wind-driven Whirligigs existed in 中國 China in 400 BC and in the 薩珊帝國 Sasanian Empire by 700 AD, with the use of 風車 Windmills.

Pinwheels may have arrived in America by way of immigrants from Europe, and it the toy was modernized and popularized as a children's toy by an 亞美尼亞移民 Armenian immigrant 玩具製造商 toy manufacturer, Tegran M. Samour in 1919, in 波士頓 Boston, 馬薩諸塞州 Massachusetts. Mr Samour sold them as "Wind wheels" (as "Pinwheels" were initial called as "Wind wheels") along with two other toys which he invented, which provided many children with numerous hours of enjoyment as the wind-driven toy will turning faster and faster when held aloft by a running child.

So, the “Auspicious” pinwheels will hopefully blow away all the bad lucks that have descended on earth, and bring good fortune to all. Like the word "福 Fu" where this Chinese character means “財富 fortune” or “祝福 blessing.” When the word "福 Fu" is Turned upside down and some Chinese will display it like so on gates and doors to their homes, signifying that “好運來了 Luck has arrived.”
