The Year of the Dragon in China has arrived, and our company partners spent the first day of the New Year hand in hand together, we wrote spring scrolls with brushwork, gave out red envelopes, and hoped that the company would prosper in the new year.
The Year of the Dragon, one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, is a time filled with joy, excitement, and the spirit of prosperity. It's also a time for writing Spring Festival couplets, a traditional custom that dates back over a thousand years.
Spring Festival couplets, known as Chunlian in Chinese, are pairs of vertical scrolls with couplet inscriptions, usually written on paper or wood, and hung on the doorframes of houses to celebrate the Chinese New Year. They are considered an essential part of the festive decorations, symbolizing good luck, happiness, and prosperity for the coming year.
For the Year of the Dragon, writing couplets takes on a special significance. Dragons are considered auspicious creatures in Chinese culture, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and good fortune. Therefore, many couplets written for this year will incorporate images and references to dragons, expressing wishes for success, health, and happiness.
