The Spring Festival blessing activities took place in various public cultural spaces in Haidian District. Calligraphers wielded their brushes, creating couplets and "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) characters, conveying New Year's blessings through their calligraphy. The intangible cultural heritage handicraft area was bustling with activity, offering hands-on experiences such as face painting, dough sculpting, and Song brocade making, allowing visitors to touch the fabric of traditional culture through creative creation.
As the final stop of this series of Spring Festival cultural activities, the Sanshan Wuyuan Cultural and Art Center transformed into a Spring Festival garden party from February 17th to 18th, bringing traditional New Year customs to a modern public cultural space. Folk music, traditional opera, and dance performances were staged in succession, creating a series of exciting moments; NPCs representing the God of Wealth and fairies paraded around distributing blessings, offering continuous surprises; traditional games and the "Search for the Golden Horse" photo activity attracted enthusiastic participation from citizens. The concurrently opened "Mountains and Rivers, Galloping Horses in the Imperial Garden" horse-themed Chinese painting exhibition and "Mountains and Rivers Connecting the City" Haidian historical relics exhibition depicted the spirit of the horse through painting and narrated the cultural heritage of Haidian through cultural relics.
