Early in the morning at six, the An Family members eagerly climbed out of their warm beds. This New Year held significant meaning for the An Family and was their happiest and most blissful year in many years.
An Zisheng, An Zhihang, and An Zhiyan, the father and sons, started their preparations early.
In front of the writing desk, An Zisheng, An Zhihang, and An Zhiyan held their breaths in concentration, eyes fixed intently on Elder An standing at the table.
With a deep breath, he picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink mixed with red, and with a flourish of the dragon and phoenix, bold characters poured forth!
"A century's heaven and earth restore vital energy, and all under heaven reach great peace!" The horizontal scroll read: "Family harmony brings prosperity to all!"
An Zisheng and his sons recited Elder An's couplet from start to finish without missing a single word and couldn't help but applaud.
