The difference between the Spring Festival in the North and the Spring Festival in the South

The differences between the Northern Spring Festival and the Southern Spring Festival are as follows:

1, different times

The time of the Spring Festival is the same: the first day of the first lunar month, that is, the first day of the New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. On this day, people all over the country will have a holiday. On this day, the whole country is very lively, because it is necessary to celebrate the New Year, pay a New Year call and receive red envelopes. In ancient China, the Spring Festival was called "New Year's Day" or "Yuan Day".

2. The atmosphere is different

The atmosphere of Chinese New Year in the north and south is different. The tradition in the north is very lively and grand, especially on New Year's Eve, every family gets together to celebrate the New Year and welcome the arrival of the New Year. The south is quieter.

However, with the development of the times, the cultures of the north and the south began to merge slowly, and now the north and the south can also merge well. It's just that New Year's Eve will be a little different.

3. Different activities

After the sacrifice, people usually go to pay New Year greetings and send blessings to their elders.
