Similarities and differences between Chinese and western festivals

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Double Ninth Festival, which is the annual autumn wind in China. In ancient China, "six" was a yin number and nine was a yang number. The ninth day of September happens to be the same as the two numbers of Yang, so people call it "Double Ninth Festival", also known as "Double Ninth Festival". On the Double Ninth Festival, most people in China "climb mountains" with their relatives.

Double Ninth Festival is a festival set by China people according to the lunar calendar. In western countries, only the solar calendar has no lunar calendar. In western countries, major festivals include Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, and it is a festival for family reunion to welcome the New Year. But there are both connections and differences between them.

Thanksgiving Day and Spring Festival are family reunions, which fully show affection and affection. They are all important traditional festivals, on which people remember their ancestors and thank the earth for raising them. The difference between the two lies in the form of celebration.

Before the Spring Festival, families in China will make a lot of preparations, clean the house and cook special food. The red scroll is hung on the wall, and China people believe that the words on the scroll will bring them health, longevity and happiness. Not only that, all China people in the world like yangko and firecrackers during the Spring Festival very much.

But Americans eat turkey and watch professional football games on TV when celebrating Thanksgiving. Walking is also an important part of the holiday.

With the increasingly frequent cultural exchanges between China and the West, many festivals in the West have been passed down, and a combination of Chinese and Western cultures has emerged in China. For example, on February 25th every year, 165438, almost every student in China gets together for Christmas. /kloc-on the fourth Thursday of October, 1 165438, many students will also send a blessing and thanks to those who have helped themselves, because that day is Thanksgiving.
