This Spring Festival is not ordinary.

Oriental expressions of love are always subtle and subtle, and the traditional "seal" is also a medium for expressions between lovers. According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong engraved the word "Jade Hibiscus" on the jade seal for Yang Guifei to express his memory of this beautiful love.
