The difference between Spring Festival and Christmas.

The differences between Spring Festival and Christmas are as follows:

Different origins: Spring Festival originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, with a long history, and it is also the most grand and lively traditional festival among the people in China. More precisely, it is superstition that China people pray for good crops in the coming year by offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors during the Spring Festival. Christmas: To commemorate the birth of Jesus, it evolved from a religious festival.

Eating habits are different: Spring Festival: jiaozi is eaten in the north and Tangyuan is eaten in the south. Tangyuan symbolizes sweetness and beauty, and all good wishes have come true. Jiaozi means to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and make old friends. Christmas: Eat turkey. Christmas and Thanksgiving are very close in time. On Thanksgiving Day, people use turkeys to express their gratitude, so this custom continues until Christmas, mainly to express their gratitude to God.

There are different ways to celebrate: Spring Festival: you can worship Buddha, ancestors first, bodhisattva and divination. There are also various kinds of immortals paying homage, which reflects the diversity and inclusiveness of China's religious culture.

Christmas Day: Christmas Day commemorates the birth of Christ the Savior, so this holy day should be celebrated on February 25th, 65438. For them, religious activities are mainly mass gatherings in churches, where people sing hymns together to praise God.
