RESEARCH ABSTRACT: According to the legend, there was a monster called "Nian". Every year on Lunar New Year's Eve it would come out and attack livestock and villagers. Later, people found that "Nian" was afraid of three things, namely light, sound, and red. Therefore, they prepared lanterns, firecrackers, and spring couplets on New Year's Eve, and they drove away "Nian" successfully. To celebrate a safe year, people happily went out to the streets and greeted each other with the phrase: "Guo Nian Hao(Happy New Year)!"
CHALLENGE: The most challenging part is to propose a young and creative concept combined with a traditional story. The packaging material and structure have been repeatedly tested to ensure they are lightweight and eco-friendly.
