How do Thais and Burmese celebrate the Songkran Festival?

Every April 13, on the streets of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, some young people throw water at each other, and more than 20 girls dressed in holiday costumes happily dance traditional Burmese dances on the open-air stage. One after another, the open-top water splashing vehicles slowly drove past the water splashing platform next to the stage. Dozens of girls on the platform sprayed cold water on the people inside the car with colored plastic hoses ... This is the water splashing scene in front of the city hall in Yangon, the capital of Myanmar.

There are more than 300 water splashing platforms beside the streets and lanes in Yangon, some of which are magnificent and some are small and exquisite, but the same feature of * * * is to splash water on passing pedestrians and vehicles, so that people can share the joy of the festival with water as a link. In front of the water splashing platform, scenes of young people reveling can be seen everywhere.

Chinese New Year is a way, a tradition and a culture for Burmese people. From the joy of splashing water, we can feel the meaning of the Burmese proverb "Happy and Long Life". Happiness is a long-standing creed and mentality of Burmese people, and now this creed and mentality has been continued through the Songkran Festival.
