Foreign festivals in China

Mainly: Christmas, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Carnival, April Fool's Day.

In fact, foreign festivals entering China should be divided into two levels. One aspect is that festivals popular in western society have entered China and been accepted by China people. These purely western festivals did not attract people's interest at first. After all, they are far away from the traditional festivals in China. However, with the development of society, the expansion of communication between China and foreign countries, or the weariness of traditional festivals in China, many people begin to like western festivals. From the spiritual level, at least western festivals provide people with more ways of entertainment. As for what these western festivals mean and how they are celebrated, none of us will investigate. See how many western festivals are accepted by people now.

1. Christmas, similar to our Spring Festival, is the most important festival in the West. This is a religious festival in memory of Jesus.

2. Valentine's Day. This is a completely western festival, a day for boys and girls to pursue love and happiness. Although it is not a legal holiday, people attach great importance to it, especially young people.

3. Thanksgiving Day. We in China attach great importance to gratitude. "Repaying kindness with kindness" and "dripping water into a spring" are all expressions of gratitude.

Father's Day and Mother's Day are also exotic festivals. They are not traditional festivals in China, but actually a continuation of Thanksgiving. The reason why we accept him is the call of our family and our filial piety and gratitude to our parents who raised us.
