The Spring Festival is an indispensable part of Chinese cultural heritage, and it is the most important traditional festival.

During the Spring Festival, people return to their hometowns to re-feel the breath of their hometown, re-recognize those familiar faces, and re-taste those familiar tastes. The emotion is so sincere that people will burst into tears and emotion.
In addition to homesickness, Chinese New Year is a time of blessings and prayers. People will pay New Year's greetings to their elders and wish them a long and healthy life; will give children New Year's money and wish them healthy growth; I will have dinner with family and friends, and wish them success in their careers and happy families. These blessings and prayers are filled with sincere emotions and good expectations for the future.
