As the 2026 Lunar New Year approaches, vibrant door decorations are stealing the spotlight across homes worldwide—and this year’s horse-themed designs are galloping with symbolism! 🎨
CGTN’s Séan Doherty recently crafted a showstopping red paper creation featuring a playful horse holding the Chinese character "ma" (horse) alongside "fu" (fortune). Ancient gold coins and fireworks complete the design, blending tradition with modern creativity to symbolize wealth and joy for the Year of the Horse.
🌏 "These decorations are like emojis from history," says Doherty. "Every stroke carries centuries of hopes for prosperity."
