1 糖人 a person who makes figurines and shapes with melted sugar by blowing and sculpting them. Example pic. Top.

2 畫舫 lit. large painted boat. Like the name suggests, its a type of large boat with one or two stories that is often elaborately decorated. Example pic. Top.

3 歲歲有今朝 lit. every year have now. Part of the full phrase “年年有今日歲歲有今朝” which translates to roughly the same thing repeated twice. It’s usually said to people on their birthday, and can also be taken to mean something like “May you have today’s glory/happiness forever” in the sense that you’re wishing someone to always be as happy as they are now. Top.
