Composition of Spring Festival around the world in 2000

Although the time of Chinese New Year is slightly different in different countries, similar to China, which takes the Lunar New Year as the New Year, and also takes the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 as the New Year, the expressions of Spring Festival customs in different countries are different.

Mongolia: When the New Year comes, Mongolian old people will dress up as shepherds, wear fur coats and fur hats, and whip in their hands to show the custom of exorcism and blessing.

Pakistan: On New Year's Day, people in Pakistan run out of their homes with red powder in their hands, meet their relatives and friends to celebrate their new happiness, and then paint red powder on their foreheads to show their good luck in celebrating the New Year. The customs of Spring Festival in different countries are really different.

Afghanistan: Residents in northern Afghanistan hold fierce sheep-grabbing competitions every New Year's Day to celebrate. The two teams of riders competed for their prey, and the game was fierce and festive.

Argentina: Argentines believe that water is the most sacred. Every New Year's Day, every family, old and young, flock to the river for a "New Year bath" to wash away all the filth on their bodies.

Mexico: People in some parts of Mexico are forbidden to laugh when the New Year comes. They are forbidden to laugh in the last five days of the year, 20 days a month, which is really different.

Bulgaria: Whoever sneezes at New Year's Day dinner will surely bring happiness to the whole family. The master promised to give him his first sheep, cow or pony, wishing his family happiness.

Paraguay: The Bala people designate the last five days of each year as the "Cold Food Festival". During these five days, from the head of state to the ordinary people, no fireworks can be set off, only cold food can be eaten, and it is not until New Year's Day that a fire can be made to cook and celebrate the festival.

Scotland: Scots put some money in front of every house on New Year's Eve. Nobody's watching. Thieves and beggars didn't move when they saw it that night. Because of the local custom, on New Year's Eve, put money outside the door first and open the door early in the morning, which means "get rich at first sight".
