What is the name of the Spring Festival abroad?

The Spring Festival abroad is called Christmas in some countries and New Year in others.

Christmas in Europe and America is equal to Spring Festival in China. New Year's Day is New Year's Day, and many countries have their own calendars to celebrate their own New Year and their biggest festivals.

There is no unified name for the Spring Festival abroad. Different countries and regions may have different ways of addressing and celebrating. For example, in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries, the Spring Festival is called "Lunar New Year" or "Lao Zheng", and people will hold ceremonies such as offering sacrifices and dancing dragons and lions.

In Europe and America, the Spring Festival is called "China New Year", but the way and atmosphere of celebration are different from China's traditional culture. Therefore, it can be said that there is no fixed name for the Spring Festival abroad, but it is different due to regional and cultural differences.
