Why do Chinese celebrate Christmas?
Christmas, which is considered to be the Western “Foreign Festival”, began to “go to the countryside and do as the customs” in China. Chinese-style Christmas, Christmas trees of different shapes, red Christmas costumes, “white beard” shop assistants, “Merry Christmas” greetings. The themes such as “warm” and “romantic” in western restaurants are even more popular among young couples.
For outsiders, these Chinese characteristics are sometimes fascinating and sometimes confusing. For example, on Christmas Eve, a gift called “Peace Fruit” is quietly passed on in people’s hands. The custom of sending “Ping An Fruit” on Christmas Eve is only available in China.
An online survey of “Chinese Christmas, what do you think” showed that 39.2% of people chose “No matter Chinese or Western style, just be happy”. In other words, at least one-third of Chinese people like to spend Christmas and use it as a form of entertainment. In China, Christmas is just a carnival. Watching movies, engaging in promotions, big bargains, big sales… To be precise, this is a commercial carnival
At present, the life pressure of Chinese people is not small. Not all people have the perseverance and perseverance of urban people. Many young people are struggling in obscurity and weaving their own life dreams. The ultra-fast pace of life requires the Chinese people to stop and rest for a while, take a look at the scenery on the roadside, and complete several spiritual precipitations. The proliferation of Western festivals actually proves the return of Chinese people’s entertainment and leisure mentality.
