As the Chinese New Year celebration approaches, Singapore is ablaze with vibrant red and gold decorations.
Amidst the festive decor and delectable treats, there’s an exciting addition, especially for those residing in the west.
If you live in the west, you’d be seeing a dancing Cai Shen Ye.
And it’s not just any dance.
Who Exactly is Cai Shen Ye?
In Chinese culture and religion, Cai Shen Ye, also known as the God of Fortune, holds a pivotal role.
“Cai” refers to money or wealth, while “Shen” refers to a god or deity. Thus, when these words are combined, they create the God of Fortune.
Cai Shen is revered for bestowing blessings of financial abundance, business success, and overall prosperity, making him an essential figure during Chinese New Year.
Many individuals seek the favour of Cai Shen by offering prayers and burning incense in his temples, hoping to usher in greater wealth and prosperity into their lives.
Catch the God of Fortune at Jurong Point
The good news is that if you plan to visit Jurong Point this month, you might just receive an extra dose of fortune.
The God of Fortune, now with a contemporary hip-hop twist, will be showcasing the viral “ke mu san” dance over five weekends, culminating on 18 February, with performances at 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm.
The “ke mu san” dance, also known as the “subject three” dance, gained popularity on China’s Douyin platform and later became a sensation when Hai Di Lao employees performed it in their outlets.
This dance involves intricate footwork, with dancers turning their ankles outward to shift weight onto the sides of their feet, creating a distinctive loose-limbed effect.
To get a better sense of this captivating dance, take a look at this gif featuring the God of Fortune in action.
You can catch this dynamic performance at JP 2 Main Entrance and even participate in a photo session with the God of Fortune himself.
If you miss the performance by chance, fret not.
The God of Fortune will graciously roam the mall, bestowing blessings of good luck, happiness, and success upon every shopper.
This means you can wrap up your last-minute Chinese New Year shopping while receiving a dose of good fortune—a truly unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss.
The journey to the west is worth it.
