Why doesn't Buddha's birthday appear in the perpetual calendar? Why show Christmas? Aren't we more inclined to Buddhism in China?

Christmas was originally a Christian holiday. With the spread of Christianity, it has become a part of western culture, and this culture is not limited to religion itself. In addition, some influential western countries have holidays because of Christmas. For the convenience of some people who go abroad to work and study, it is normal for Christmas to appear in the calendar.

Compared with Buddhism in this respect, it is still limited to religion itself. Except for some Buddhist countries, it has not evolved into a cultural ontology. For ordinary people, they don't even know there is such a festival. In this case, not only in Buddhism, but also in the birthday of Taoist gods, there will be no such festival in the universal calendar. The traditional festivals in China combine some cultural connotations of the three religions.
