What are the customs all over the country in the New Year? !

India: Every year in India, the Chinese New Year begins on June 10 from 3 1, with ***5 days, and the fourth day is New Year's Day. On the first day of the new year, no one is allowed to be angry with others, let alone lose his temper. In some parts of India, people don't celebrate China New Year, but cry. This is really a miracle in the world, but their philosophy of life sounds quite touching. They think that at the beginning of New Year's Day, the years fly by-life is too short, and they cry to express their sighs. In some areas, people welcome the New Year by fasting for one day and one night, from the early morning of New Year's Day to midnight. Because of this weird custom, New Year's Day in India is called "Crying New Year's Day" and "Fasting New Year's Day".

Japan: Japanese people pay special attention to the New Year. Every year, 65438+February 29th-65438+1October 3rd is a national holiday. The Japanese call 65438+February 3 1 "big black day", that is, New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the Japanese call it "New Year's Eve". At night, they pray for the gods to send away the troubled old year and usher in a beautiful new year. This is the so-called "first day". At midnight on New Year's Eve, temples in urban and rural areas rang bells 108 to exorcise evil spirits, while the Japanese sat quietly and listened to the "except the night bell". When the bell stops, it means the arrival of a new year.

The Japanese call the first day of New Year's Day "Zhengri". 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. The New Year is still a "eating" festival. On Sundays, the Japanese eat a big breakfast, sugar, buckwheat noodles and Tu Su wine. After that, I went vegetarian for three days in a row to show my piety and pray for good luck in the coming year.

Thailand: The traditional Thai New Year, namely Songkran (Sanskrit transliteration), is also called Songkran Festival, which lasts from April 13 to June 16 of the Gregorian calendar every year.

During the festival, people travel with huge Buddha statues in cars, followed by floats, on which stood the "Goddess Gan Song" in makeup, and groups of young men and women in colorful national costumes, drumming long drums, singing and dancing. On both sides of the road where the parade passed, kind men and women lined up on both sides of the street, filled with water soaked in scallops and permeated with spices in silver bowls, sprinkled on Buddha statues and "Goddess Gan Song" to pray for a happy New Year and good weather. Then people sprinkle water on each other and wish their elders health and longevity, and wish their relatives and friends good luck in the new year. Unmarried young men and women show their love for each other by splashing water. On the first day of the new year, Thais will put a basin of clear water on the windowsill and doorway, and every family will go to the riverside in the suburbs to take a New Year bath.

Germany: Germany celebrates the New Year for a week. During this period, every household should put a fir tree and a horizontal tree, and the leaves are covered with silk flower, indicating that the flowers are in full bloom and the spring is full. Just before midnight New Year's Eve, the Germans climbed into the chair. As soon as the bell rang, they jumped up from their chairs and threw a heavy object behind the back of the chair to show that they had abandoned the disaster and entered the new year. The children formed a band, put on new clothes and lined up to play in the street with harmonicas and accordions. The adults held colorful flags and shouted and sang behind them to celebrate the New Year. German women will improvise comedy sketches with the theme of family in the New Year. In rural Germany, there is a custom to celebrate the New Year-"Tree Climbing Competition". Boys climb along bare trees, and the first place is called "New Year Hero" to show their promotion step by step.

Egypt: Egypt is an ancient civilization. In 40 BC, Egyptians were able to observe the stars. They found that Sirius rose with the sun and the Nile rose immediately. Egypt regards the day when the Nile rises as the beginning of the new year, which is called the "Rising Water New Year". In Croute, people put a table at the door to welcome the New Year. Seven or eight dishes are served with cereals such as soybeans, lentils, alfalfa and wheat, and there are many green plants, which symbolize abundance. The more you give to God, the more you will get in the new year. The New Year in Egypt is in autumn, because agricultural production in Egypt begins in autumn.

North Korea: Like China, North Korea also has the customs of stick grilles and Fu Tao in the New Year. Koreans put up couplets and New Year pictures in every household during the New Year. Some people stick portraits of birthday girls or fairies on their doors, praying for God's blessing, driving away ghosts and giving people happiness. At the dawn of New Year's Day, people put some money into the pre-tied scarecrow and throw it at the crossroads to ward off evil spirits and welcome good luck. At dusk, people burn the hair that the whole family has lost for a year and wish their families peace in the four seasons. During the Spring Festival, women in North Korea wear new clothes. On New Year's Day, girls wear a kind of hemp hat called "blessing towel" and colorful and patterned clothes to have a swing competition. They aimed at a tree flower to see who could kick it or bite it first. Others hang bronze bells on high places. Whoever touches the bell first will win.

Singapore: On Lunar New Year's Eve, children have the habit of observing the old age, and they can't go to bed until midnight when their parents' activities of offering sacrifices to their ancestors are over. During the Spring Festival, there are dragon and lion dance teams performing along the street in the city, and the faces of men, women and children are filled with festive atmosphere.

Britain: In Britain, although New Year's Day on the Gregorian calendar is not as grand as Christmas, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, people will hold various celebrations according to local customs to bid farewell to the old and welcome in the new. On New Year's Eve, every household should have wine in the bottle and meat in the cupboard. The British believe that if there is no wine and meat left over, they will be poor in the coming year. In addition, the custom of "digging wells" in the New Year is also very popular in Britain. People strive to be the first person to draw water, thinking that the first person to draw water is a happy person, and the water obtained from it is auspicious.

Italy: In Italy, New Year's Eve is a night of revelry. People flocked to the streets, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and even shooting with live ammunition. Men and women danced, and at midnight, every household smashed some fragile things at home. This is their traditional way of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Iran: Iran has an Islamic calendar, and the seasons and months are not fixed. In Iran, celebrating the new year means celebrating the arrival of spring, usually in the late March of the solar calendar, and it takes a grand week to celebrate the new year. People poured into the streets to light a "bonfire"-"night fire", and then the whole family jumped down from the night fire in turn, indicating that they would burn "bad luck", usher in the light, drive away evil spirits and eliminate diseases, and be happy forever. We should eat "seven dishes" on New Year's Eve, and the name of each dish should start with the letter "S" to show good luck. From grade one to grade three, people visit relatives and friends and wish each other a happy Spring Festival. On the last day of the new year, the whole family went out for an outing to ward off evil spirits.

France: Celebrating the New Year with wine, people began to revel on New Year's Eve and didn't stop until 65438+10.3. The French believe that the weather on New Year's Day indicates a new year. On the morning of New Year's Day, they went to the streets to see the wind direction for divination: the south wind blows, which indicates that the weather will be good and the year will be safe and hot; When the west wind blows, there is a bumper harvest year for fishing and milking; If the east wind blows, the fruit will be rich; When the north wind blows, it is a poor harvest year.
