這篇寫英文，因為你們都懂抓周是什麼啦，而且絕對比我還清楚，我其實去到小村日和的時候才知道原來抓周不只是抓東西，還有一連串的習俗要做
So in many Asian cultures there is often a first birthday ceremony that entails a big family/friends gathering along with a fortune-telling activity. There are photography studios that specialize in capturing these special moments at the “Zhua-Zhou” celebration.
Many months ago, I came across a deal for a family portrait photo shoot (around $70USD for 20 digital files). The package included themed Zhua-Zhou with costumes. I was very intrigued, who doesn’t want to put their bub in a costume and have photos taken by a professional?! So I booked the photo shoot and chose the Japanese themed Zhua-Zhou photo shoot. Why? Because yukatas are cuter than boy Qi-paos (pronounced chee-pao) in my opinion, aaand because I wasn’t sure if I’d fit into a Qi-pao by the time of the photo shoot.
The “Japanese themed Zhou-Zhua” started with “cleansing of the hands”, followed by “drawing an o-mikuji”, which is a lucky proverb written on bamboo sticks and it tells your future.
If I were to choose the Chinese themed Zhua-Zhou, we would’ve rang a gong to symbolize blessing for the little one instead of washing the baby’s hands, which symbolizes respect for the upcoming ceremony. In the Korean themed Zhua-Zhou, you’d beat a drum to pass on blessings to the gods.
Then, we touched some green onions hanging from a string.
Wait, what? Green onions?
Yea those were my thoughts exactly.
I was so confused when they wanted Jarvie to hold onto some green onion prop that they had prepared.
So apparently the word for green onions “cong” (pronounced “tsong”) has the same sound as “cong-ming”, which means smart in Chinese. So touching the green onions symbolizes knowledge and wisdom blessings to the child.

還沒一歲就抓周 在 [寶寶] 抓週真的很重要嗎..? - 看板BabyMother - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
想問大家都會很重視寶寶們的週歲抓週活動嗎?
最近家裡有點忙沒辦法親自佈置場地跟道具
疫情目前雖然暫時穩定了
但也還是不太敢出去外面訂場地
只想著自己家人幫寶寶佈置跟慶祝就好
不要大張旗鼓邀親友們了
各位媽媽們覺得呢?
