Get ready to slither into the Year of the Snake with a fresh twist on tradition! 🌏 China Media Group just revealed its 2025 Spring Festival Gala mascot, Si Shengsheng, blending 3,000-year-old oracle bone inscriptions with sleek modern aesthetics. The design’s centerpiece? The character \"Si\" (🐍) from China’s oldest known writing system – originally carved onto ox bones and turtle shells for royal fortune-telling!
This isn’t just history class – it’s a cultural remix! 🎨 The mascot’s unveiling ties into this year’s Gala theme \"Keep Your Spirits Awake\", symbolizing renewal and resilience. Found in Henan’s Anyang region, oracle bone scripts were Shang Dynasty VIPs – think royal TikTok for predicting the future! 🔮 Now, they’re inspiring global Lunar New Year celebrations, proving ancient art can still go viral.
