In terms of the relationship between people and families, the Spring Festival emphasizes "harmony and prosperity".
"The family is the smallest country, and the country is a million families." Without the prosperity and development of the country, there will be no family happiness and fulfillment; without the happiness and fulfillment of thousands of families, there will be no country prosperity and development. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization of common prosperity for all people, and it is the business of thousands of households.

Suzhou, Jiangsu, "reverse reunion"...
Regardless of the long mountains and vast rivers or the hardships of boats and cars, the return date of "I will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year this year" and the return belief of "I have money or not to go home for the Chinese New Year" have made the Spring Festival travel rush, the "largest population migration in the world" a cultural phenomenon. The American "Travel and Tourism World" website published an article saying that the 2025 Chinese Spring Festival travel rush is an extraordinary display of human migration, modern infrastructure and cultural importance.
The family is the cell of society. "A harmonious family means a stable society; a happy family means a peaceful society; a civilized family means a civilized society."

"Perform filial piety at home and loyalty to the country." By understanding the "home" of the Chinese, you can understand the "country" of the Chinese.
The lights of thousands of homes are peaceful and peaceful, and the years are quiet, just because there are always people who are careful to protect and carry the burden forward.
Whether it is the Spring Festival or other holidays, from taxi drivers, couriers to doctors and police, we will first and then the small family and give up the small family for everyone. Countless people silently stick to their ordinary positions, demonstrating their lofty feelings for family and country.
The wisdom and enthusiasm of more than 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million families are formed by integrating love for the family and integrating the dream of family into the Chinese dream, uniting and working together. The wisdom and enthusiasm of more than 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million families is the tremendous power to promote Chinese-style modernization.

In terms of the relationship between man and nature, the Spring Festival emphasizes "harmonious creatures".
In accordance with the laws, respect nature, and follow the times, the Spring Festival culture contains the ecological concept of unity between man and nature and the cultivation of all things. Respect, adapt to, protect nature, and promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature are distinctive characteristics of Chinese modernization.
"The people have a happy holiday, which also indicates a good start to the year." In this happiness and beginning, people are in harmony with themselves, people and their families, and people and nature. People work tirelessly and constantly create in the process of revelating the old and accepting the new.
"Shuowen Jiezi" explains: "The year is the ripe grain." The Spring Festival is a festival built on agricultural civilization, reflecting the rhythm of agricultural production.
On February 3 this year, the beginning of spring. The twenty-four solar terms, led by the Beginning of Spring, are the knowledge system formed by ancient Chinese people grasping the laws of nature, and are the crystallization of wisdom in ancient agricultural society production and life.
Farewell to the old and welcome the new is a social practice of people respecting the laws of life on the basis of grasping the laws of nature. After a year of hard work and busy work, I can relax and share my emotions during the Spring Festival, and at the same time accumulate energy for the new beginning, nourish my spirit and work hard.
The folk proverb "The plan for a year lies in spring." It is after raising energy and focusing on the expectation of spring flowers and autumn fruits and harvests of grains to encourage farming and start the action laws of striving for struggle.
Today, natural time, social time and human time are integrated into one, man and nature are interdependent and grow together, and the space for high-quality development is constantly expanding in people's struggle and creation. This year's Spring Festival has become a vivid display platform and narrative subject.
New consumption shows that supply-side change has spawned new demand. From over-packaged gift packs "falling away" and green and environmentally friendly fireworks are favored, to various "cultural and creative New Year's goods" sales growth far exceeds other categories over the same year-on-year, to creativity and technology empowerment Spring Festival blockbusters have won the audience's reputation... "Cultural Creativity" and "Cultural Technology" are accelerating the deep integration, forming new growth points.
New trends reflect the strong pulse of new quality productivity. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, human-machine collaborative performance of yangko dance, digital twins, "bullet time" and other feasts that bring people culture and technology. When climbing Mount Tai, you can choose an exoskeleton robot to help. It uses advanced ergonomic design and core technologies such as power, electronics and artificial intelligence algorithms to perceive every movement trend of the wearer's lower limbs and help tourists better experience the fun of climbing.
The new ecology demonstrates the practical power of the new development concept. Lanterns are like day, fireworks are bright and crowded. During the Spring Festival, drone and fireworks performances are amazing, and related videos have also become popular on overseas social platforms. More than 10 years ago, the rivers here were silted and the mines were exposed, which caused pollution to Taihu Lake. Implement the "Governance of Taiyang and Maintain Sources", improve the ecological environment, transform butterfly in Nihua Bay, and embark on a path of win-win situations with the economy, and symbiosis with the people's wealth, becoming a vivid portrayal of "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains".
Today, the path of civilized development with development of production, rich life and good ecology is constantly being consolidated. By accelerating the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will become more colorful, and Chinese-style modernization will have more potential and potential.

China does not have the gene for foreign aggression and expansion.

The time node of the Spring Festival, which is "one year and the whole world is renewed", can also become a "singularity moment" for humans to bid farewell to the past and walk side by side.
Open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results.
