Besides China, which other countries are also popular with the Spring Festival?

Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China with a long history. From ancient times to the present, no matter poor families or rich families, they will greet each other with a smile. Even if they encounter some unpleasant things, they will cook some dishes and have a happy meal with their families.

During the Spring Festival, our favorite thing to do is to chat behind closed doors, and then at night we will cook all kinds of food around the stove to celebrate.

Therefore, it is very strange for foreigners to visit our country at this time of the Spring Festival. Every household closes its doors and windows, with lights hanging outside. There are few people in the street, and there are festive reds everywhere. Lanterns are red, and couplets are red. In the evening, every household began to set off firecrackers.

At first, foreigners were curious to know what China people were doing. Later, I changed from curiosity to liking. Only then did I know that it was a reunion festival for China people, just like New Year or Christmas abroad.

The most striking feature of China's Spring Festival is that it likes red, whether it is door couplets, couplets or decorations at home, so many countries in the world will decorate their landmark buildings with red when they spend the Spring Festival in China. Once, the Empire State Building in the United States, the most prosperous part of Wall Street, changed the lights on the building to red. Even the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

With China's increasingly important position in the world, it has become an important member of the world and has the right to speak in the United Nations. More and more countries show great interest in China, and some countries even offer courses to learn China culture.

The Spring Festival is an important part of China's traditional culture, so when studying China culture, foreign friends will inevitably learn the tradition of the Spring Festival. As soon as foreign friends learned about and came into contact with the Spring Festival, they fell in love with this festival and realized that this festival is not only about eating, drinking and having fun, but also about expressing their thoughts for their families and having a happy meal with them.

It is precisely because our people attach great importance to the concept of home that we continue this festival with reunion significance. So until now, which countries are celebrating this festival? First of all, our Spring Festival has become a world cultural heritage, so many countries are popular with it, but these countries celebrate the Spring Festival in a slightly different way from our country. Generally speaking, it still means the same thing.

In recent years, in addition to the popularity of the Spring Festival in some American States, there are also Vietnam and North Korea. Koreans will also give out red envelopes and wear new clothes on New Year's Eve. On the second day of New Year's Day, every loving family will visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings.

In Vietnam, the Spring Festival is also very popular, and people will write couplets and stick them at the door. In Vietnam, a flower market will be held after the Spring Festival. Since the Spring Festival is popular in North Korea, South Korea is no exception. The custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Korea is similar to that in China, and it is also an important event for Koreans to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Of course, the Spring Festival in Korea is also considered as a traditional festival mainly to commemorate ancestors. The Japanese also celebrate the Spring Festival. Before that, the Japanese even thought that the Spring Festival originated from themselves and was their own traditional festival.

The Spring Festival is the biggest festival in Japan. On New Year's Eve, Japanese temples will ring bells to express their blessings. Other countries and Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia celebrated the Spring Festival several years ago, mainly because nearly half of the nationals in these countries are Chinese, so it is natural to celebrate the Spring Festival. In addition, the Spring Festival is also very popular in some countries in Europe and Africa.

Countries like Indonesia also look forward to and love the Spring Festival in China. In Indonesia, every Spring Festival, some entrepreneurs will hold a lion dance to celebrate.

In Australia, people also hold activities to celebrate the Spring Festival. In Melbourne, people will hold dragon boat races and dragon dances to celebrate the Spring Festival. The longest dragon in the world once appeared on the streets of Sydney, as long as 100 meters. You should know that dragons are also a symbol of good luck in China.

Spring Festival is also very popular in Europe, such as Germany, which is the most popular country in recent years. The way Germany celebrates the Spring Festival is very similar to our country. On New Year's Eve, Germany will hold fireworks in the landmark square, and the gorgeous fireworks will light up the night sky, which is very beautiful.

As more and more countries regard the Spring Festival as a grand festival, it has been designated as a legal holiday by many countries, and the annual flavor of the Spring Festival has spread all over the world. Everywhere in Asia, almost everyone feels the flavor of the year. In Thailand, the Spring Festival is also designated as a legal holiday.

It has been said before that in fact, in every corner of the world, as long as there are Chinese, there will be a taste of the year. In fact, it's not unreasonable, because wherever there are China people, they will gradually infect other foreign friends with the flavor of the year.
