Produced by China Media Group's International Channel, CCTV-4, this series of broadcasting events will be aired throughout the holiday period.

Traditionally a time for families to get together and celebrate, Spring Festival is deeply rooted in Chinese civilization. Its recent inclusion on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity underscores its growing global influence.

"Our Festival • Joyful Chinese New Year" is a multi-platform series of broadcasts showcasing the diverse and colorful New Year celebrations across China.

CCTV-4 will also release a series of short videos on its various multimedia platforms and the "Legendary Chinese Festivals" Yangshipin account.

By emphasizing "guofeng" (traditional Chinese aesthetics) and "guochao" (Chinese trends), the videos will present the warmth and vibrancy of Spring Festival, its folklore and its unique regional characteristics through a rich, multidimensional narrative.
