National "annual festivals"
Neighboring countries have always been influenced by China culture. In Korea, North Korea and Vietnam, the Lunar New Year is the most important festival of the year. On the Korean peninsula, the Lunar New Year is called "New Year's Day" or "Old Correction", and the first to third day of the first month is a national legal holiday. The Vietnamese Lunar New Year holiday lasts from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first month, plus Saturday and Sunday, ***6 days.
Some Southeast Asian countries where Chinese live in concentrated communities also make the Lunar New Year a legal holiday. In Singapore, the first to third day of the first month is a public holiday. Chinese in Malaysia account for a quarter of the total population, and the government has designated the first and second days of the first month as legal holidays. Indonesia and the Philippines, which have a large number of Chinese, designated the Lunar New Year as a national public holiday in 2003 and 2004 respectively, but the Philippines did not have a holiday.
Japan used to celebrate the New Year according to the old calendar (similar to the lunar calendar). After switching from 1873 to the new calendar, although most parts of Japan do not celebrate the New Year according to the old calendar, Okinawa Prefecture, the Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture and other areas still retain the complete customs of the old calendar.
