We must combine the long-standing cultural tradition with the Chinese life in the new era, develop cultural and tourism exchanges, restore life scenes, create immersive experiences, and enable international friends to understand the lives of the Chinese people and understand the spirit of Chinese culture from China's Spring Festival culture. We must combine the cultural heritage accumulated and inherited in history with the development of Chinese-style modernization, protect and inherit, and creative innovation, develop cultural achievements that are in line with contemporary lifestyles and cultural aesthetics, carry out dissemination and promotion, and further promote in-depth exchanges and cooperation in academic, education, and economy and trade.

The successful application for the Chinese heritage during the Spring Festival and the integration of Chinese civilization into the world will not only write a new chapter for the display of a comprehensive, three-dimensional and vivid China, but will also create more space for civilization dialogue, exchange of ideas, and cooperative development. On the road to building a community with a shared future for mankind, China in the new era will make new contributions with a broad cultural mind.
