Family Housecleaning for Chinese New Year | Educational Illustration #1518185 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts a multi-generational family engaged in thorough housecleaning-a key custom before Chinese New Year to sweep away bad luck and make room for good fortune. The father sweeps with a broom, the mother hangs a scroll with the character “福” (blessing), the daughter mops the floor, and the son washes cloths in a bucket; a diamond-shaped “春” (spring) decoration is held aloft. The scene reflects cultural values of unity, renewal, and intergenerational participation.
