In South Korea, the Spring Festival is called "Lao Zheng Festival" and is a traditional festival in South Korea. /kloc-Koreans began to celebrate the Spring Festival in the Silla era more than 0/000 years ago. However, from 19 10 to 1945, when Japan colonized the Korean peninsula, ordinary people were not allowed to celebrate the Spring Festival. 1985, the Spring Festival returned to the people in the name of "Folk Day". 1999, South Korea officially resumed the Spring Festival and announced a three-day holiday.

Japan: On New Year's Day and Spring Festival, China and Japan are separated only by a strip of water. At the latest in the Tang Dynasty, Japanese continued to learn and introduce China culture. Since then, like China, Japan has also celebrated the Spring Festival. At that time, the custom of Japanese celebrating the Spring Festival was similar to that of China.

However, during the Meiji Restoration, Emperor Meiji of Japan carried out a series of reform measures, one of which was the abolition of the Spring Festival. From 1873, the Japanese no longer celebrate the Lunar New Year. The Spring Festival disappeared from Japanese life.

However, although the Japanese don't celebrate the Lunar New Year, they seriously celebrate New Year's Day in the solar calendar as the Spring Festival. New Year's Day is the most grand festival in Japan. Every year, 65438+February 29th-65438+1October 3rd is a national holiday, with a total of 6 days.

Vietnam: Buy a carp and put it back in the river. Like China, Viet Nam regards the Spring Festival as the most lively and grand traditional festival.

Many years ago, Vietnam's economy was backward, and the people's necessities were relatively simple, just like a jingle saying: "Fat meat, pickles, red couplets; Pole, firecrackers, green zongzi. " Now, with the development of Vietnam's economy and society, Vietnamese people have more and more new year's goods.

Singapore: Unmarried elders can't give out red envelopes. Apart from China, Singapore is the second country in the world with Chinese as the main ethnic group. Singapore has a population of 6 million, and there are more than 4 million Chinese. Therefore, the people of China let the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese cultural festival, take root and flourish in Singapore.

Singapore attaches great importance to the Spring Festival. There is generally only one day of public holidays in Singapore, even one day of Christmas, and only two days off during the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, the whole city of Singapore is decorated with lanterns and colorful gongs and drums. The custom of Spring Festival in Singapore is very similar to that in Guangdong. For example, people will bring two oranges to celebrate the New Year during the Spring Festival. This is because in Cantonese, "orange" and "gold" are homophones, and "orange" and "auspicious" are homophones. Sending oranges means sending good luck and wealth.

Like China, Singaporeans also give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival. However, unmarried elders can't give red envelopes to younger generations. It turns out that local customs in Singapore believe that it will be difficult for unmarried men to get married if they give red envelopes to their younger generation. Moreover, unmarried women give red envelopes to their younger generation, which will make marriage difficult.
