《English Translation》

小宝: 哥哥, what does '申遗' mean?
小刚: '申遗' means applying to have important traditional culture recognized as something the world needs to protect, like our Spring Festival!
小宝: Wow, is Spring Festival really that amazing? Why does it need to be protected?
小刚: Because Spring Festival has many wonderful traditions, like putting up spring couplets, having New Year's Eve dinner, and setting off firecrackers. These are part of our culture, and we want the whole world to know about them.
小宝: Oh, I love Spring Festival the most because I can get red envelopes!
小刚: Yes, getting red envelopes is fun, but what’s more important is that Spring Festival is a time for family reunions and a great opportunity to pass down our culture. We need to remember these traditions and keep them alive.
小宝: Yes! I’ll tell my friends that Spring Festival is the most important day in the world!
小刚: Great! This way, more people will understand and love our culture.
