Bells sound to bid farewell to the old year, and climb high to pray for blessings to welcome the new year. The Chinese tradition of praying for blessings and receiving good luck during the Spring Festival has been passed down for thousands of years. On New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, visiting temples to offer incense and pray for blessings is also a major event for many Deqing people during the Spring Festival.
