Spring Festival is officially a global cultural gem
Spring Festival is China's most grand traditional holiday and a brilliant symbol of Chinese culture. During this time, people engage in a variety of folk activities to convey their hopes for family reunions and a bright future.
Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of traditional New Year, was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December. This recognition elevated Spring Festival to a global cultural gem, embodying family reunion, peace, and harmony that transcend borders, serving as a bridge for the exchange and mutual learning of diverse world civilizations.
