What is the Spring Festival like in the eyes of foreigners?

Perhaps, the Spring Festival has become accustomed to us! In the eyes of foreigners, this is a very novel festival. How can we watch it together?

Last year, BBC sent some British people to China to experience the authentic Spring Festival, and made a documentary-Spring Festival in China.

There are two lovely grandfathers, all happy and satisfied, who seem to be full of interest in the Spring Festival!

The two grandfathers unanimously said: This is the best New Year I have ever had! Attract all kinds of envy and hatred from the British audience ...

The domestic audience is also full of praise. At present, Douban score is 8.0, and the total number of clicks on Tencent video has reached more than 37 million!

The righteous cat couldn't help watching a wave, and kept thinking: Why do I, a native of China, have a strange novelty and touch when I look at all the familiar Chinese New Year pictures?

Have you ever found that anything we take for granted will instantly become tall once it is labeled as "Earth", "Asia" and "China"?

First look at the title of this film, Spring Festival in China-the biggest festival in the world, and the English translation will be even better. The biggest celebration on earth, look at this style, it comes alive immediately. !

The Spring Festival travel rush craze is no longer called the Spring Festival travel rush craze, but "the biggest population migration on earth". Yes, wuli drifted north into a migratory bird ~

Popular science is everywhere-it not only shows us a list, but also the dispatching command center of Beijing Railway Bureau, and of course the largest railway dispatching command center in Asia ~

I also dug up a data. During Spring Festival travel rush, the number of railway passengers was as high as 250 million, and 5.6 million train tickets could be sold one day!

Two grandfathers of BBC also joined the army of motorcycle migration and returning home. They are wearing raincoats, which is a little cute ~

At the station on the way home, I drank ginger soup and porridge provided by volunteers for migrant workers returning home by motorcycle, and said with surprise: there is meat in the porridge! Feel warm in my heart!

The picture of the reunion of relatives in the Spring Festival is also captured in place, which makes people's eyes hot. After all, Spring Festival travel rush carries too many joys and sorrows of China people ~

After the Spring Festival travel rush craze, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala again. It's not called Spring Festival Gala, but "the most extensive TV program in the world". The BBC specially visited the backstage of the Spring Festival Evening, and the data obtained once again surprised foreigners: to go to the Spring Festival Evening, you have to compete with 1 0,000 programs, and some programs have a preparation period of 1 year!

Square dance is not called square dance, it is called "China's favorite fitness program for the elderly", and spicy strips are not called spicy strips, but "China's favorite snacks for young people under 25".

Internet celebrity spicy strips are all on camera, which is really grounded! As for spicy strips, the annual market share is as high as 50 billion. Miao Miao, like everyone else, wants to eat spicy strips immediately to suppress the shock!

You see, these two old urchins can't stop eating, and they all say: spicy! Articles! All right! All right! Eat!

There is also "Xinfadi", which used to be the largest food wholesale market in Beijing, and the BBC gave it the reputation of "the soul of Beijing's food culture"!

Wuli Beijing Roast Duck Fried Belly with Bean Juice Sugar Hulu Street Snack, you have to step aside ~

It's childlike that the two grandfathers can have such a good time at the farmer's market ~

Besides these, BBC also shows many Spring Festival customs that even China people have never heard of! Fishing in Chagan Lake? Harbin ice sculpture? Hong Kong night float parade? Fireworks in Victoria Harbour? Bao jiaozi has a reunion dinner and asks for a sign to visit the temple fair? It's all in these films!

However, there is one thing you can't think of! Have you ever eaten longevity noodles 19 18 meters long? BBC interviewed Liu Hui, the Guinness World Record holder of the longest handmade noodles in Shanghai, and was dumbfounded when he saw the making of this invincible longevity noodle.

The most touching story is Strike while the Iron is Hot. In Wenquan Town, Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, there is a blacksmith family named Xue, who has lived here for generations and has been here for 500 years! The ancestors of the Xue family invented a family-run stunt-Da Shuhua Xiu. After molten iron melts at high temperature, it splashes into thousands of sparks. Because it looks like a leafy canopy, it is called "tree flower", which can be understood as a kind of cheap "fireworks", but it is as spectacular as fireworks.

According to the rules of the Xue family, Daxiu's father passed on his son to his grandson and passed it on from generation to generation. Now it has reached 14 generation Mr. Xue Jianguo. However, he is also the last generation of Da Shuhua Xiu! The temperature of hot metal is as high as 1600℃, and the blacksmith Xue's hands are covered with shocking scars. He looked lonely and sad when talking about the end of this craft in his own hands!

This can't help but remind people of the suona swan song of "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix". Such a spectacular Dashuhuaxiu will never be seen again in the near future, and Dashuhuaxiu will soon disappear.

The short three-episode documentary cannot tell the essence of China's Spring Festival culture. This festival, which is older than the Great Wall, is the deepest complex in everyone's heart in China! During the Spring Festival, the ends of the earth will go home, and Qian Shan Wanshui will also go home. Going home is not the destination, but making hope stronger!

Delicious delicacies are not as good as a warm New Year's Eve dinner. Nothing is more touching than family reunion! (Content is integrated from the network)
