Which countries also celebrate the Lantern Festival?

Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries also celebrate the Lantern Festival.

1, Japan

To a great extent, Japan inherited China culture, especially some customs in Sui and Tang Dynasties. At first, the Lantern Festival in Japan was also on the fifteenth day of the first month. However, due to the cancellation of the lunar calendar in modern Japan, it was changed to 65438+ 10/5. Although times have changed, customs are still those customs. On the morning of Lantern Festival, Japanese people will drink red bean porridge, which means that the new year is thriving.

In addition, the Lantern Festival is also a day to hold adult ceremonies. On this day, the newly grown Japanese YMCA put on kimono and held its own adult ceremony, similar to the coronation ceremony of China.

2. Korea

Korea used to be our vassal country and was deeply influenced by China culture. Like China, the Lantern Festival in South Korea is also on the 15th day of the first month, which is called King's Day. But Koreans don't eat glutinous rice balls, but drink cereal, which shows that today's grain harvest is abundant.

On the Lantern Festival, Koreans will wear hanbok and fly kites in the wild. Kites are written with unpleasant things, which will make them fly far away. In the evening, there will be a bonfire party. As a matter of fact, festivals in China's civilization are basically preserved in South Korea. For example, the Spring Festival is the same, but the Korean Spring Festival couplets are white.

3. Vietnam

Vietnam was also one of the vassal countries of that year. Like South Korea, many traditional festivals were preserved. On the Lantern Festival, Vietnamese collectively eat rice cakes and then go to the flower market to buy some pots of flowers. Vietnam will hold various celebrations, such as dragon and lion dances. In short, the situation is similar to that in China.

4. Thailand

In Thailand, on the Lantern Festival, everyone goes to the temple to burn incense and pray, get up early and get the first incense.

5. Malaysia

On this day in Malaysia, young men and women will come out to watch the light show, hoping to find the right person.

6. Singapore

In Singapore, the Lantern Festival is almost the same as China, except for the different languages.
