This is Spring Festival at full volume — not the quiet brush-and-red-paper of doorway couplets, but the night the courtyard fills with glowing lanterns, firecracker smoke, and gold paper-cut zodiac animals pinned to every window. Built dark on purpose: a deep lacquer-black ground so red lanterns actually glow, gold leaf catches light, and sparks read as sparks. Everything is maximal, radially symmetric, and a little rowdy — round lantern shapes, scalloped 窗花 edges, inverted 福 medallions, and sprays of golden sparks. The palette is the trio every household knows: lantern red, imperial gold, and just enough jade for the auspicious green of new spring.
