About This Quote
"We joyfully pray with grateful heart to welcome blessings in New Year" is a Chinese saying introduced by the first president of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It is believed that the saying stems from Emperor Shen Nung of the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC) who said, "Blessed are those who have received blessings in today’s new moon." This means that one should pay attention to good fortune and work hard to be blessed with good fortune.
