Which countries celebrate the Spring Festival?

Besides China, other countries that celebrate the Spring Festival are Japanese, Singaporean and Malaysian.

1. Japan: Before the Spring Festival, it was the biggest festival in Japan. Every family decorated their houses with pines and cypresses, and on New Year's Eve the whole family kept vigil around the stove. At midnight, the temple rang the bell 108 and exchanged New Year greetings the next day.

2. Singapore: As soon as Christmas is over, China's traditional costumes are put on in the streets and business districts for the Spring Festival. Red lanterns of all sizes are hung high and New Year pictures are posted, which makes people very happy. Chinatown: People in traditional shops in China are constantly buying new year's goods, and traditional New Year's songs are played on the street.

Malaysia: The custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Malaysia is almost the same as that in China. Because most local Chinese are from Fujian, influenced by Minnan culture, they must buy pineapples (pineapples) for the New Year. The Minnan dialect "pineapple" is homophonic with "Wanglai", and pineapple has become an auspicious fruit in the Spring Festival.
