Over the course of 86 days, Guo Nian: Exhibition of the Spring Festival, which recently ended at the Traditional Chinese Culture Museum in Beijing, drew nearly 600,000 visitors, thousands of them from abroad, who enjoyed the acclaimed exhibition's festive mood and tried their hand at handicrafts from across the country.

The museum held a gathering to express their thanks to those who contributed on Sunday, including different levels of governmental bodies and folk artists who displayed their work or gave performances, and who helped inspire better ways of communicating cultural traditions through exhibitions and performances.
