Do the Japanese celebrate the New Year? What do they eat during the Spring Festival? What's the activity?
In ancient Japan, like China, China New Year was celebrated according to the Lunar New Year. However, more than 100 years ago, the Japanese Ming-Han Reform abolished the calendar customs handed down from China and followed the example of the West to celebrate Christmas and New Year. Therefore, in today's Japanese calendar, China's Spring Festival only has the word "Old New Year's Day". Except for overseas Chinese in Zhonghua Street in Yokohama, the Spring Festival holidays in China are all based on the lunar calendar in China. Other Japanese people are very vague about traditional lunar festivals. Okinawa still retains the custom of the Lunar New Year. During the Qing Dynasty, this area was similar to China.
The Japanese call 65438+February 3 1 "Great Dark Day", that is, New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, temples in urban and rural areas ring bells 108 to exorcise evil spirits, while Japanese people sit still and listen to the "Night Bell". When the bell stops, it means the arrival of a new year.
The Japanese call the New Year "the right day". 1 3 is "Three Congratulations Day". On Sunday, the younger generation will go to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to relatives and friends' home to pay New Year's greetings.
