A fragment depicting the lively scene of the Spring Festival

During the Spring Festival, every household sticks red Spring Festival couplets, sticks the word "Fu" symbolizing good luck, and hangs big and round red lanterns. People carry gifts to visit relatives and friends, and children happily grab bulging red envelopes.

Adults are busy washing and cutting vegetables and preparing a sumptuous dinner, while the children are staring intently, striving to be the first to taste. Evening is a more lively time. Adults buy fireworks, while children hide by the door, covering their ears and looking at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, always exclaiming.

In the evening, the streets are more lively, and there are waves of lively gongs and drums in the village-the performance of social fire started from the square, and people flocked to the square like a flood. At that time, the square was full of laughing women, whispering children and nagging old people ... Late at night, the social fire had passed, but the fiery Spring Festival couplets on the street still smelled of the Spring Festival.
