What does it mean to translate Spring Festival in China into Spring Festival and Chinese New Year? ...

Both of them refer to China New Year, with the same meaning, but there are still some differences.

1. The Spring Festival is translated by China people themselves, but foreigners generally don't know it. Most foreigners only know Chinese New Year. So when you tell foreigners who don't know about China festivals, they don't know at all.

2. Compared with the Spring Festival, westerners admit that China New Year is more because it is calculated according to the China calendar, translated directly and easy to remember, which is different from the Western New Year.

In the eyes of some westerners, the Spring Festival is a festival to celebrate the arrival of spring. They equate China with many festivals in the East and China, and are often regarded as festivals in the East. Spring Festival is a festival celebrated by many people in Confucian cultural circles around China and China. On the other hand, China New Year has nothing to do with spring. It is the authentic Spring Festival in China in the eyes of westerners. Similar to New Year's Day in the West.
