Xinhua Times Review: Cultural Self-Confidence from the Spring Festival| Welcome: "New Year's Taste" is full of hope and creativity

"The cold resigns from the winter snow, and the warmth brings into the spring wind." For thousands of years, in the concept of Chinese, the Spring Festival is the coordinates and emotional sustenance of the years, and it is also the symbol of vientiane renewal, the hub of retiring the old and welcoming the new.

The 100th festival year is the first. The grandeur of the Spring Festival is because it contains the ambition to leave the old and welcome the new. At this time of year, Chinese has a whole set of New Year customs, worshipping ancestors, sweeping the courtyard, putting on new clothes, praying for disaster relief, family reunion, and using a full sense of ceremony to let individuals embark on a new journey with their home country.

On the occasion of the New Year, the unity is renewed, vientiane is renewed, and a "new" word condenses the unceasing spiritual strength of the Chinese nation. Looking back at the vast and long river of Chinese civilization, the beginning and end of the Spring Festival one after another converge into an all-encompassing, windy, lively and warm cultural volume. In this long volume, there are full of inheritance, and there are also highlights that continue to emerge: from the traditional "thousands of doors and thousands of households, always exchanging new peaches for old charms", to the current popular "Cloud Worship Year" and "Big Year in the Museum"... Different Spring Festival reflects social progress, scientific and technological development, innovation is written in the cultural genes of the Spring Festival, innovation is also a solid driving force to make the year better than a year.

On the journey of the new year, it is even more necessary to continue to struggle. In the past year, the baby cow, the pioneering cow and the old cattle have become the spiritual totems of the Chinese, and the tiger is a symbol of strength, bravery and fearlessness. On the occasion of retiring the old and welcoming the new, hundreds of millions of Chinese people will closely unite after the Spring Festival holiday, give full play to the enthusiasm of the dragon and the tiger, show the courage of swallowing the tiger, work hard, and move forward with their hearts and hands.

The Spring Festival, with the strongest emotions, warmest expectations and the most beautiful wishes of the Chinese nation, condensed into a new starting point. We are bathed in the spring light of a new era: the Communist Party of China is uniting and leading the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to beat drums and urge conscription, raise the sails, and embark on a new road to achieve the second centenary goal.

During the Spring Festival, people welcome the spring and receive blessings, which is a bold way to embrace a new atmosphere and a new self-encouragement. From ancient times to the present, people always bid farewell to the past on the occasion of the Spring Festival and look forward to the future. Because everyone has heard the clarion call of spring, ready to take new actions and write a new chapter.

The "Spring Festival" of "Spring Festival" means a lot. The plan of the year lies in the spring - this is an important code of the Chinese New Year, which makes the "new year" of our ancient nation forever full of hope and creation, as prophesied, summoning industrious people to never slacken off, chase dreams, and live endlessly...
