There is a Spring Festival in China and Christmas in the west. What festivals are celebrated in Japan, Korea and Vietnam?

Spring Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China, and it is also the biggest traditional festival.

At the beginning of the year, the Spring Festival is grand and warm, and it is the most grand traditional festival of the Chinese nation. It not only embodies the Chinese nation's ideological beliefs, ideals and ambitions, life, entertainment and cultural psychology, but also shows the carnival of blessing, eating and entertainment activities. Therefore, the whole country has celebrated for thousands of years, and I hope that one year will be bright.

Influenced by China culture, some countries and regions in the world also have the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. Especially Japan, South Korea, North Korea and Viet Nam, which are influenced by China's traditional culture, are enjoying the traditional Spring Festival just like China. At the same time, since modern times, due to the rapid economic development of China, its influence in the world has been deepening, especially in the Greater China circle and countries that have trade with China, deeply influenced by Chinese culture for 5,000 years, and some traditional festivals have been followed and lived in China. For example, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 20 countries and regions have designated the Spring Festival in China as a legal holiday in all or part of the cities under their jurisdiction.

In Japan, the traditional Spring Festival was followed by China in the past. However, after the new calendar was adopted in 1873, although the old calendar was not used in most parts of Japan, Okinawa Prefecture, the Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture and other areas still retained the complete customs of the old calendar. In other words, in some parts of Japan, the traditional Spring Festival is still preserved.

In Korea, Lunar New Year is the most important festival of the year. Lunar New Year is called "New Year's Day" or "Lao Zheng". The first to third day of the first month is a national legal holiday, and the festival activities are basically the same as those in China.

In Vietnam, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) holiday lasts for 6 days from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first month, plus Saturday and Sunday. Similar to our Spring Festival Golden Week.

In some regions and countries where Chinese people gather, such as Singapore and Malaysia, the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) is also designated as 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.

Therefore, the Spring Festival in China should be the largest traditional festival in the world, and more than 654.38+06 billion people are celebrating it.
