2024总台春晚主题发布，原来这个汉字这样读（朗读版）|E1211

▍原文

On Saturday, the logo of the upcoming Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala was officially released by China Media Group. It is a Chinese character composed of three smaller characters for the word “dragon” written in traditional Chinese. 


Some Chinese netizens were amazed by this intricately written character, confessing that “This was the first time I learned that this character is pronounced da.” Others said: “It best suits China as we regard ourselves as the ‘descendants of the dragon.”
