The Dream of the Red Chamber has a description of the New Year's Eve in Jiafu, which is quite touching.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business

omg, i totally agree! the way "The Dream of the Red Chamber" captures the essence of new year's eve in jiafu is just beautiful. the details make you feel like you're right there celebrating with them. such a heartwarming vibe, it's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket of traditions and emotions. totally one of my fave parts of the book!
