Question 2: When does Japan celebrate the New Year? Japan forgets its roots. It is not surprising that the Spring Festival is a festival for ancestor worship and reunion. Naturally, I can see it.
Question 3: How do Japanese celebrate the New Year? Japanese New Year is not called New Year's Day, but New Year's Day, which is 65438+February 3 1.
Japanese people also do cleaning on New Year's Eve. Relaxation, bamboo and plum ("Songmen") (now replaced by pictures) are placed in front of the door to show good luck. After dinner on New Year's Eve, the whole family watched a TV program specially broadcast for the New Year, that is, a red and white song party. Just like we waited for the New Year bell in the Spring Festival Evening, it was called "the Year of the Valve". On "Zhengri" day, the Japanese will have a big breakfast, including sugar, soba noodles and Tu Su wine. After that, they went vegetarian for three days in a row to show their piety and pray for good luck in the coming year. At present, most urban people in Japan have given up vegetarian food for the New Year, and instead have a hollow noodle in the "night" to wish them health and longevity in the new year. Someone upstairs said that he was going to the temple fair to ring the clock.
Question 4: What are the differences between Japanese New Year customs and those in China? 1. The lucky money is packed in a white paper bag.
2. Before the Chinese New Year, in order to worship God, I cleaned up first and went to the shrine to worship on the first day.
Every household has a loose decorative door.
You must eat "Chinese New Year noodles" and rice cakes on New Year's Eve.
The next day, the Japanese returned to their parents' home to write calligraphy.
Hang the national flag at the door
Children can fly kites.
Question 5: What is the custom of eating New Year's Eve in Japan? Eating a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve is one of the necessary items for the Chinese and Japanese people. Similar to the situation in China, other Japanese children have to go out to make a living because of the system of "the eldest son inherits the family business". A family may be scattered in major cities for many years to make a living, but on New Year's Eve (known as "big black day" in Japan), family members who work in various places will return to their hometown and have a reunion dinner together. Japanese New Year's Eve dinner is called "imperial sacrifice", which has the same function as China's New Year's Eve dinner. Worship of God (also a custom of Japanese New Year) Both China and Japan have experienced a long feudal society. In feudal society, from kings to ordinary people, they were superstitious and believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world. China and Japan have formed their own religious beliefs in history, such as Taoism in China and Shintoism in Japan. At the same time, Buddhist culture has a far-reaching influence on China and Japan, and there are many Buddhists in both countries. During the China New Year, a major folk festival, both Japanese and China have the custom of praying for peace and happiness in the coming year by worshipping God. Some people worship God at home, while others go to temples and shrines, all in order to pray for the blessing of the gods and buddhas. The custom of giving lucky money to the younger generation is the same in China and Japan, and it is a form of greeting the younger generation by the elders. People in China call Li "lucky money" and "red envelope", and usually put a certain amount of paper wallets in red paper bags or paper, and then give them to others. The Japanese call Li Li "the Jade of the Year of the Emperor". If the profits of China people are called "red envelopes", then the profits of Japanese people can be called "red envelopes". Because the bag used by the Japanese to hold money is usually white, it is called "Yu Nianyu bag", and Yu Nianyu bag is usually painted with various auspicious patterns, such as door pine, place of origin and so on. Although China's "red envelope" and Japanese "white bag" are different in color, they want to express the same meaning, and they are both indispensable traditional customs for Chinese New Year. The custom of greeting the New Year casually promised by leaders on the wine table is often called "greeting the New Year", which means that it is beautiful, but it may not be fulfilled. This is an ironic language. However, the original "New Year's Words" are words that people express sincere wishes to each other, which are very popular in China and Japan. In China, New Year greetings are generally "Congratulations on getting rich" and "Happy New Year". Generally speaking, Japanese New Year greetings to China are "New Year's greetings", "Happy New Year" and "Ming's greetings". Eating rice cakes and jiaozi is another New Year custom in China and Japan, which also reflects the profound influence of ancient China culture on Japan. But there are still some differences between jiaozi and rice cakes in these two countries. For example, jiaozi in Japan is relatively small, with a large proportion of meat, which is different from jiaozi in northern China; China's rice cakes are usually large plates, but Japanese rice cakes are more delicate and have more elastic taste.
Question 6: When is the Japanese New Year? Japanese people pay special attention to the New Year, and every year 65438+February 29th-65438+1October 3rd is a national holiday. The Japanese call 65438+February 3 1 "Great Dark Day", that is, New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the Japanese call it "New Year's Eve". At the scheduled time, they prayed to the gods for the TOEFL test, sent away the troubled old year and ushered 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 ring bells 108 to exorcise evil spirits, while Japanese people listen to "night bells". When the bell stops, it means the arrival of a new year. People leave their seats and go to bed, hoping to have a good dream. On New Year's morning, families sit around and tell each other about their dreams on New Year's Eve to test good luck or bad luck. The Japanese call the first day of New Year's Day "Zhengri". 1-3 is "Three Congratulations Day":
On the right day, the younger generation should go to their parents' home to pay New Year greetings, and then pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends. The New Year is still a "eating" festival, and people all over the world pray for good luck by eating their own food. On "Zhengri" day, the Japanese will have a big breakfast, including sugar, soba noodles and Tu Su wine. After that, they went vegetarian for three days in a row to show their piety and pray for good luck in the coming year. At present, most urban people in Japan give up vegetarian food in the New Year and eat a hollow noodle at the "night show" to wish them health and longevity in the new year.
Question 7: Does Japan have to wear kimono for Chinese New Year? Not necessarily.
Wear it only at important moments in life such as graduation and marriage. (* * * also)
Question 8: Do Japanese celebrate the Spring Festival? However, they say that the first month is our New Year's Day. It's dark, which is equivalent to our New Year's Eve. They don't eat jiaozi, but we call it rice cake. Watch red and white songs? Hey? It was a popular singer in those days. Men and women sang in competitions and then won or lost. That's my understanding. 65438+ 10 1 They usually go to the shrine to pay homage and pray. Japanese people have more activities.
But when we celebrate the New Year, they go to work. This is what an uncle who works in a wholly Japanese-owned enterprise said. Because of his work, he will go to Japan to study in the Spring Festival this year. It's really hard.
As far as I know, Singapore is not the Spring Festival, and my classmates go to school there. He has classes on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
There are traditional festivals in China in many Asian regions, such as Dragon Boat Festival (South Korea has a serious hatred and China people need to refuel), Tanabata and Japan, but the dates of Japanese festivals are all from the solar calendar to our lunar calendar.
