新素材 蛇年大吉 On December 2, 2024, China Media Group introduced the official mascot(吉祥物)for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala: "Si Shengsheng". With a cute and classic look, it shows both modern and historical meaning: this cheerful mascot brings good wishes to Chinese people around the world, hoping that everyone has a new year filled with health, happiness, and good luck.
Where is the name from? The mascot "Si Shengsheng" comes from Chinese traditional culture. Its name is based on the ancient character "巳" from the oracle bone script(甲骨文), which means the Year of the Snake. Connected to the gala's theme, "Si Si Ru Yi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi"(Year of the Snake, Keep Your Spirits Awake), "Si Shengsheng" is full of good energy.

The bat-shaped pattern on its head and the Chinese knot on its tail add more wishes for good luck. The flower patterns on the back show the arrival of spring.
