Which countries in the world celebrate the Spring Festival?
1, Japan
Since the Tang Dynasty, Japanese have not only learned the writing and culture of China, but also learned some festivals in China, among which the Spring Festival is the strongest.
In the past, Japan used the lunar calendar like us, that is, the lunar calendar. Later, during the Meiji Restoration, everything learned from the west, giving up the lunar calendar and adopting only the solar calendar, that is, the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, they spend the Spring Festival with New Year's Day.
2. Korean Peninsula
South Korea and North Korea are both countries on the Korean Peninsula. After all, they are two countries of the same species. As a long-term subordinate country of China, deeply influenced by China culture, many customs are similar to ours. They also put up Spring Festival couplets and have a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival.
3. Vietnam
Viet Nam has always been called "Little China" and it has always been a part of China. After independence, it has been controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty. Many places imitate China. China has the strongest culture outside China. They celebrate the Spring Festival, and like us, no matter how far away from home, they will be reunited with their families. In addition, national public holidays can sometimes last as long as nine days. The Spring Festival is also the most important festival in Vietnam.
4. Singapore
Singapore is 80% Chinese, and of course it will celebrate the Spring Festival. However, their Spring Festival is very southern, because most Chinese in Singapore come from Guangdong and Fujian. So their Spring Festival, like most parts of southern China, also has southern customs such as flower market.
4. Malaysia
The custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Malaysia is almost the same as that in China. Because most of the local Chinese are from Fujian, influenced by Minnan culture, people must buy pineapples (pineapples) for the New Year. The Minnan dialect "pineapple" is homophonic with "Wanglai", and pineapple has become an auspicious fruit in the Spring Festival. During festivals, when people pay New Year greetings to each other, they like to bring some oranges to their hosts. Oranges are homophonic with "auspiciousness", symbolizing good luck.
