Are the Korean Spring Festival and the Chinese Spring Festival on the same day?

Korean Spring Festival and Chinese Spring Festival are on the same day. Korea also has a lunar calendar, which is exactly the same as China. It was passed down from China in ancient times, and the twelve zodiac signs are the same. Therefore, like China, the Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year, symbolizing the beginning of a new year.

There is no concept of the first month in Korea. China celebrates the New Year from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, while South Korea only celebrates New Year's Eve and the first day of the lunar new year, and starts work on the second and third day of the lunar new year.

Extended information:

The traditional customs of Korean Spring Festival are different from Chinese Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is called "Old Jung" in Korea, which is also the Lunar New Year. "Old Jung" is the second largest national festival in South Korea after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every Spring Festival, the whole country is immersed in an atmosphere of joy and peace. During the Spring Festival, the most important activity is to worship ancestors.

Koreans have a strict way of worshiping their ancestors. The only ways to arrange the table are "fish in the east and meat in the west", "head in the east and tail in the west", "red in the east and white in the west", "date, chestnut, pear and persimmon", "raw in the east and cooked in the west", "Left rice, right soup" and other rules. The sacrificial procedures are also very strict. Every year when the Spring Festival comes, Korean women put on beautiful national costumes and work in the kitchen from morning to night.

Koreans often give each other gifts during the Spring Festival. The gifts range from steaks, croakers, traditional snacks, healthy foods to lunch meat, sesame oil, mushrooms, persimmons, daily necessities, etc. Gifts must be wrapped, and the color of the wraps is mostly tender pink.
