China National Arts and Crafts Museum "Chinese New Year - Spring Festival Theme Exhibition"

Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the China National Arts and Crafts Museum is hosting a Spring Festival theme exhibition. The museum is filled with red decorations and a lively atmosphere. To celebrate the traditional Chinese Laba Festival, the organizers are giving away Laba porridge ingredients to visitors, who exchange blessings with the staff, making the atmosphere even more festive. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival for the Chinese people, and the customs and activities to celebrate the New Year are rich and colorful. From the Laba Festival, Little New Year, New Year's Eve, Spring Festival, to the Lantern Festival, the various customs of the New Year unfold like a grand play, expressing the wish for harmony between heaven and earth and the nurturing of all things, and nurturing the virtues of kindness, respect, gentleness, and harmony. On December 4, 2024, "Spring Festival - Chinese People's Social Practices for Celebrating the Traditional New Year" was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. We should pass on and protect this important cultural heritage, enhance cultural confidence, promote cultural exchange, and advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Today's exhibition is very much in line with the theme, showcasing a wide range of folk cultural items from different regions for the New Year, dazzling and overwhelming, giving visitors a visual feast. People are taking photos in front of their favorite folk cultural scenes or displays.
