introduce

Countries that believe in Hinayana Buddhism, such as Cambodia, all start the year with the birthday of Sakyamuni in the Buddhist calendar (Buddhist calendar 13, Gregorian calendar 14- 16).

The first day of the Cambodian New Year is called "Shounian", also known as "Songkran Festival", which is the last day when people are ready to end the old year and enter the new year. On this day, you can see the Cambodian people gathered in the open space, dancing with Wang Nan to the cheerful folk music, singing cheerful songs and playing various folk games to celebrate the New Year.

The next day was called "resignation". People prepare food and new clothes for the elderly, parents and those who treat themselves well, and also give food to the poor, servants and homeless people to accumulate merit. The family will go to the temple to hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors and those who are kind to them. On this day, people wear festive costumes, all kinds of jewelry, incense sticks and flowers, especially lotus flowers and jasmine flowers symbolizing Buddhism, and take lunch boxes and fruits to the temples to worship Buddha and fast monks. You can follow everyone to visit temples and experience foreign cultures!

The third day is called "New Year". On this day, monks will hold a grand bathing ceremony, wipe the Buddha clean and spray perfume symbolizing happiness. After that, there will be a big scuffle (Water-splashing Festival) in the street, and there will be laughter and laughter everywhere. In this way, Cambodians send New Year greetings to others in the form of splashing water, wishing each other a smooth and safe New Year. At this point, the Cambodian New Year Carnival officially came to an end.
