ABOUT THE SPRING FESTIVAL
As the Spring Festival draws near, the melodious New Year songs resonate through the streets and lanes, red lanterns adorn every corner, and the sold - out train tickets on the purchasing software, indicating the packed trains heading home, all tug at our eager hearts. Just as Mr. Ji Xianlin described in his article, "Although the Spring Festival seems like a wisp of light smoke or a faint haze on a distant mountain, intangible and invisible, yet when it arrives, a gentle nudge in our hearts tells us that the Spring Festival is here."
The Spring Festival is intrinsically about family reunions, sharing warmth, and jointly expressing the longing for a better life. It is these elements that endow the festival with its profound connotations.
At the end of the year, GTC Residence Beijing and Dongsi No.78 Boutique Apartment, the high - end service apartments under BBMG Hotel Management, meticulously prepare a series of activities imbued with a rich Chinese New Year atmosphere for their residents. People gather together, re - igniting the sense of ritual as they bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new. The blessings for the coming year are manifested in delicious food and handmade creations. Moreover, royal ridge beast aromatherapy gift boxes, symbols of good luck and well - being, are presented to the residents, marking the beginning of their wonderful Spring Festival journey.
Wrapping dumplings, from kneading the dough, rolling it out, to stuffing, is a task that demands the most cooperation. During the Spring Festival, the whole family gathers around the table, chatting and laughing as they make dumplings by hand. As they enjoy the process of creating food together and sharing conversations, the steaming dumplings are soon ready. After a year of participating in various activities together at GTC Residence Beijing, the residents have become as familiar and harmonious as family members. The fresh and delicious dumpling fillings are like heartfelt words, and only those close - knit like bosom friends have the patience to savor and turn that into admiration.
From the perspective of home aesthetics and rituals, flowers are the perfect elements to enhance the Spring Festival atmosphere. The residence invites a floral teacher to guide the flower - arranging activity. Colorful flowers exude a delicate fragrance, instantly enlivening the otherwise quiet winter air. In the hands of the residents, the bouquet is transformed into a work of art, brimming with inspiration and talent, and becoming the centerpiece in any setting.
Chinese people have a penchant for auspiciousness and often inscribe auspicious words on Spring Festival couplets to decorate the door lintels. However, the charm of self - made couplets far exceeds those bought from outside. The residence provides pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for the residents. Whether one is a calligraphy master or trying it for the first time, they can all pour their New Year wishes, career aspirations, and family blessings onto the brush. The shiny ink is like the vivid tapestry of life; every stroke is a testament to the love for life, and every character is a deep - seated affection for the words.
Every Spring Festival, people yearn to materialize their blessings through gifts, hoping that their loved ones will enjoy good health, auspiciousness, and happiness. This year, Dongsi No.78 Boutique Apartment has prepared a special Spring Festival gift for its residents - the royal ridge beast aromatherapy gift set.
The royal ridge beasts, those auspicious deities sitting atop the Forbidden City, safeguard peace. They are like loyal sentinels and messengers from the heavens, silently watching over the Forbidden City year after year, allowing good fortune and peace to flow through time. The apartment uses modern interpretations of intangible cultural heritage to recreate the imperial dignity, aiming to pass on this blessing and make every resident feel at home in the ancient city of Beijing, while embarking on a promising future in the new year.
Time rushes by, and many traditional rituals have been either replaced or forgotten. Nevertheless, for every Chinese person, the cherishing of time and the love that permeates the years have never ceased. GTC Residence Beijing and Dongsi No.78 Boutique Apartment are honored to be the witnesses of your appreciation and exploration of traditions. Let's gather the harvest of 2024 and set off for tomorrow. Looking forward to more memorable moments together in the near future.
