    The Huazhao Festival is a traditional flower festival following the Lantern Festival. With a history of over 2,000 years,the Huazhao Festival was first held on flowers’ birthday. Since the climate is different in

bamboo stick in the flower pot and tie a piece of red cloth to the stick.

The theme and main logo for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala were officially introduced on November 29th,2024.This great event,which marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac,promises to be a celebration filled with joy and traditional Chinese culture. The theme for this year’s gala is “Si Si（巳巳） Ru Yi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi”which carries deep cultural and symbolic meanings.

The time from 9 a.m.to 11 a.m.is called “Si Shi” in traditional Chinese timekeeping. In this system,a day is divided into 12 parts,and each part is two hours long.”Si Shi” in Chinese represents the sixth part of the day,when the sun is high in the sky,symbolizing the rise of Yang energy and the hiding of Yin energy. It is a time when everything seems to wake up and come to life,creating a beautiful scene. By using “Si Si Ru Yi” as the theme,the 2025 Spring Festival Gala hopes to bring good wishes to every family and the whole nation.”Sheng Sheng Bu Xi” means that life continues endlessly,representing the endless energy and prosperity of the Chinese nation. 

The main logo is both creative and meaningful. Its design is inspired by traditional Chinese patterns and it uses the Oracle Bone Script character（甲骨文)”Si” as its creative element. In details,there are two “Si” characters put together,while the right one is an upside-down mirror image,making it look like “巳”. This means good things will happen twice,like a double wish for luck. It’s a nice way to connect the Snake Year with good luck and send happy blessings to everyone.

    People were very excited to see this new logo and they enjoyed the 2025 Spring Festival Gala very much. It was a fantastic show,full of music,dance,and fun,just like every year.

“It’s Father’s Day this Sunday. We are going to make a special card for it,” said Miss Miller. Then she handed out the usual paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.

They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town but most of them were from parents who tried their best to get jobs. So she even didn’t want to carry out this activity.

“Think about all the things your dad does which make him special,” she said loudly. “You can write a poem or a short story thinking of the positive characteristics (正面特征) that make your father or grandfather special.”
