What does it mean for a family to sit around with the lights on?

People sit around with friendly lights: a family with bright lights is the warmest and leisurely scene in the cold winter. As long as relatives sit together and warm lights are on, it is an ordinary but not simple home in this world. "family sitting around" gives people a feeling of quiet and beautiful years; "Kindly Lights" gives people a warm and peaceful scene with thousands of lights.

The original words are "family sitting around, lights are kind", which comes from Wang Zengqi's prose collection "Family sitting around, lights are kind". Wang Zengqi's major works include The Order, Flowers at the Banquet, Lost Water, Late Cui Wen Tan and so on.

Wang Zengqi, a native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province, studied in the Literature Department of China, The National SouthWest Associated University. He is a representative of contemporary writers, essayists, dramatists and writers of Beijing School in China. He is known as "a lyrical humanist, the last pure scholar in China and the last scholar-bureaucrat in China".

The phrase "the family is sitting around and the lights are amiable" expresses the author's simplest concept and treasure of "home", and the short eight words express the author's nostalgia for his family in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
