How To Use It
You usually place it at the very start of a sentence. It acts as a formal introduction. Often, you follow it with a specific event like 新春 (New Year) or 校庆 (School Anniversary). After the phrase, you typically offer a wish or a summary. It sounds elegant and polished.

When NOT To Use It
