💡 Cultural Insight: Staying up on New Year's Eve (shousui)

A core traditional custom on Chinese New Year's Eve where family members stay up late or all night to welcome the new year. It symbolizes cherishing the passing time, praying for the longevity of elders, and bidding farewell to the old year to ring in the new.
