Chinanews.com, February 1st. There is a saying among Chinese people that "the first month is the New Year" and "less than fifteen years is the New Year".

Now that the Chinese New Year holiday is over, the Chinese people have entered the first week of work, but the New Year flavor is still strong on the streets of the city.

The United States "Qiao Bao" published an article on January 31, saying that overseas, various spring celebration activities under the pretext of the Spring Festival are still "in progress", depicting a picture of a lively, festive and happy spring scene.

A series of spring celebration activities have established good expectations for the beginning of the new year, and the "good start" of China's Spring Festival economy has heralded the world's economic prospects.

　　The article introduces a number of lively spring celebration activities in European and American countries recently, such as the "Happy Chinese New Year" family day event held by the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and the Spring Festival garden and temple fair held in Belgium.

The article also specifically mentioned that this year the White House held the first Lunar New Year reception in history, inviting more than 400 people of Asian descent to the White House to celebrate the New Year.

Decorated with lanterns and festoons, dancing red lions, and the "very Chinese" blessing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" brought the atmosphere to a high point.

　　The article stated that Chinese, overseas Chinese, and foreigners all participated in this Spring Festival carnival that spread both at home and abroad, which is in line with the old Chinese saying, "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together."

From a simple point of view, for the majority of people participating in the celebration of the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival provides them with such "values".

　　One is emotional experience.

The Spring Festival itself represents excitement and joy. Coupled with the "good news" of epidemic prevention and control, people have more reason to celebrate.

At present, the World Health Organization judges that this wave of epidemics may be approaching an "inflection point". China's epidemic prevention and control policies have been optimized. Taking such a festival to let go of your mood and enjoy relaxation, why not people at home and abroad?

　　The second is cultural experience.

The Spring Festival is a festival with a strong sense of ritual. Various elements of the Spring Festival are pleasing, and the implication behind it is family reunion, Vientiane renewal, New Year happiness, harmony and friendship, which coincide with many values ​​​​of Western families.

As a symbol of alertness and luck, the zodiac rabbit also brings positive psychological hints and good expectations to people.

　　The third is wealth experience.

According to data released by Chinese officials, during the Spring Festival this year, more than 2.87 million people entered and exited the country, with an average of 410,000 people per day, an increase of 120.5% over the same period during the Spring Festival last year.

The overall orders of Chinese tourists for outbound travel increased by 640% year-on-year, and the orders for cross-border air tickets increased by more than 4 times.

The boom in tourism and consumption shows the warmth of the Chinese economy, and the international media is full of expectations for the chain reaction of China's economic recovery.

These data and expectations are connected with the possibility of ordinary people living a better life.

　　The Spring Festival festival itself and the warmth conveyed by the Spring Festival economy are China's "announcement of spring" to the world.

At the end of the article, it is written that the beginning of spring is approaching, and we look forward to more "prime birds" flying in, wishing the world a spring.
