Portraits of the Chinese Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the most important and ceremonious traditional festival in China. As the Lunar New Year approaches, the whole country is immersed in a strong festive atmosphere.

Homes are decorated with red lanterns, couplets, and the character “Fu” upside down, symbolizing good fortune and blessings. Families get together to clean their houses thoroughly, not only to sweep away the dust of the old year but also to welcome the new with a fresh start.
