There are plenty of follow ups, actually. Sometimes it even varies depending on the animal of the year (e.g. I'm seeing lots of "马到成功"; first character means horse).
A very happy Lunar New Year to you too.
I'm going to pretty much butcher this since I say it in a different dialect and can't read chinese for the love of me, but the pin-yin for the second one went something like "sheng ti jian kan"
I can proudly say that I managed to read the first half of the horse one. Time to go celebrate my newfound chinese skills.
Happy lunar* new year
