和 Harmony

In the spirit of Lunar New Year, Apple Music is celebrating with eight exclusive playlists made for spreading holiday cheer. Each is themed on a traditional Lunar New Year blessing: Harmony, Joy, Peace, Health, Prosperity, Fortune, Longevity and Happiness. From Chinese-language classics to the latest pop hits, these curated playlists instantly create a festive atmosphere. On that note, we start things off with harmony, a concept that runs deep through Chinese culture. In a broader sense, it represents stability in society and extends to our careers, relationships and families. It’s even reflected in the Chinese language: the character for harmony can also mean “and”, “with” and “together”. And like in English, it also has musical roots. The character “和” is made up of two parts: “禾” represents a traditional reed instrument (龢), while “口” means mouth. During Lunar New Year, harmony takes on a very auspicious meaning, embodying a notion of unity, concord and reconnection. That is why Apple Music’s eight days of special blessings begins with a playlist dedicated to a harmonious reunion. Share it and spread some “harmony”—in every meaning of the word.
