Our museum’s special Spring Festival events are especially popular, with visitors guided by our staff to experience the charm of traditional Chinese New Year customs, gather together, and savor heartwarming moments of family togetherness!
“With the tiger gone, its majestic spirit remains; with the rabbit’s arrival, joy abounds.” In 2023, the lively little rabbit of the Year of the Rabbit has hopped forth to welcome the spring. Children and adults alike have creatively crafted “Jade Rabbit Lanterns” using techniques such as threading, assembling, and tying, vividly expressing their unique interpretations of the Gui Mao Year. Everywhere, heartfelt wishes for a bright new year are palpable, and each piece brims with vitality and delight.
Bright red, festive lanterns and the rich aroma of the New Year—along with an atmosphere brimming with joy—embody all the beauty and blessings of the Year of the Rabbit.
“The Lucky Rabbit Comes to Celebrate the New Year, Ushering in a New Chapter.” During the Spring Festival, it is customary for Chinese people to hang spring couplets and paper-cut window decorations. At the event, participants eagerly rolled up their sleeves and joined in the hands-on activity of cutting paper windows, savoring the joy of crafting and experiencing the uniquely festive spirit of China. As the finished pieces unfolded in their hands, visitors raised their phones to snap photos, capturing the little moments of beauty that make life so special.
Charades—where one person acts out a word while the other tries to guess it—is a fun, engaging activity that combines entertainment with learning. During the competition, participants gesticulated enthusiastically, cheering and laughing nonstop, creating an especially lively atmosphere.
“Tie a Chinese knot, and let the spring breeze cut the ribbon. May the sun and moon of our motherland bring good fortune year after year. May your phoenix dance in times of peace, and your dragon soar in the new era. May your happy home welcome the blossoming of myriad flowers.”
The bitter winter is slowly fading, and the new year has arrived as promised. Lanterns light up the world, and we raise our cups to this year. May the mountains in the new year be distant and serene, the moonlight on the waves endless; may all things go smoothly and health abound, and may the seasonal beauty of the four seasons be as lovely as blossoms and the moon. As the rhythms of nature turn, spring draws near—wishing you a prosperous new year. May your songs always find harmony, your solitary journey be guided by a lamp, your duties be performed with due reverence, and your aspirations reach for the heights.
