Is Christmas equivalent to China’s Spring Festival? What is its origin?
Since globalization, Christmas has begun to be accepted by more and more countries along with the trade in goods and services. So, is Christmas equivalent to (equal to) China's Spring Festival? What is the story behind its origin? "Heavy snow, the eleventh month. Big means abundant. At this time the snow is abundant." At this time of the year, not only is the weather the coldest, but the yin energy in the world is also the strongest. Let’s follow Mr. Shui Mo to take a look at the special topic for November of the lunar calendar in 2021.Is Christmas equivalent to Chinese New Year?Christmas is a festival to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the abbreviation of "Christ's Mass" and is the most important festival in Christianity. On this day, Westerners and Chinese alike get together as a family, share delicious food, reminisce about the good old days, and look forward to a brighter tomorrow.The Spring Festival and Christmas represent the most important festivals in China and the West respectively, but China and Western countries have different values, which makes the Spring Festival and Christmas have different cultural connotations. Moreover, Christmas in the West is also related to religion, and the two have different religious natures, so they cannot be equated. ——I can only say that Christmas can be compared with the New Year, similar to the Chinese Spring Festival. The influence of Christmas VS Spring Festival: The United States is the most powerful country in the world today, with great cultural influence, and it deserves to be ranked first. Britain and France Britain and France are equally powerful, with Britain benefiting from the scope of the Commonwealth and France's far-reaching influence on its former colonies, ranking second and third respectively. Canada has relatively strong economic strength and unique geographical environment, and Christmas tourism is extremely popular, ranking fourth. Mainland China Mainland China is undoubtedly the origin of the traditional Spring Festival. Taiwan and Hong Kong, China Taiwan and Hong Kong, China have been more influenced by Western culture due to historical reasons, but they are also deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Vietnam and South Korea Vietnam is a country that uses the lunar calendar for timekeeping, while South Korea is an important country in China's Chinese character cultural circle. Japan has been deeply influenced by Confucian culture in history, but although the Spring Festival was abolished during the Meiji Restoration, many people still celebrate the Spring Festival spontaneously. What is the story behind the origin of Christmas?Many children think that Christmas is the day when Santa Claus was born, but in fact Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God also sent the angel Gabriel to tell Joseph in a dream that he should not abandon Mary because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but should marry her and name the child "Jesus", meaning that he would save the people from sin. When Mary was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that all people must go to Bethlehem to register their household registration. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark. Unfortunately, the two of them could not find a hotel to stay in, so there was only a stable where they could stay temporarily. At this time, Jesus was about to be born. So Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations set December 25 as Christmas, and attend mass every year (attending mass is the name of a religious activity, which means participating in mass, and often refers to religious personnel participating in activities commemorating the birth of Jesus) to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
