Yes, you may known the answer: Spring Festival(春节, chun1 jie2), you can call it Chinese New Year also.
You may kown it, cause the BBC may told you:Snow delays Chinese return home for Spring Festival by Steph Ball
China has been left reeling this week, struggling to cope with the deluge of snow and rain which has hit the length and breadth of the country. The snow has blighted the journey for millions as they return home to celebrate the "Spring Festival"...
I will tell you why millions of people would be blighted next day.
In Spring Festival, when people meet, they will say "gong xi fa cai" to each other(恭喜发财, gong1 xi2 fa1 cai 2, which means: you will be happy, for you will get lots of money! It's funny, yes?)
In Chinese, "get lots of money" is "发"(fa1), which means flower is openning too.
So that is why I sent you the picture above.
The flowing is bloomimg. The metaphor is a best wishes for you: Happy new year! You will be rich!
