Welcome the year of the rabbit with art

People everywhere celebrate the coming Lunar New Year in a joyous atmosphere.
As Spring Festival approaches, many people have hung lanterns to welcome the coming Year of the Rabbit. The word echoing rabbit in the Chinese lunar calendar, called Mao, symbolizes spring and dawn in traditional Chinese culture, while the animal itself has long been mankind's friend. In many ancient legends, the rabbit has always appeared as a hero or a friend.

This Chinese Lunar New Year and Spring Festival brings out the happiest colour and joy in China, even when experiencing an almost county-wide scourge of the Covid Omicron bf7 variant, which I am trying to survive at this time, no matter how careful I was.
Hopefully, all the rabbits don't keep multiplying like rabbits.
Great photos.
We won't see them again for another 12 years.
Will post a link to this shortly.
Thank you. I try to fill in the "space" on the group in between the weekend articles.
