How much do you know about the encyclopedia of the year
Hello dear readers! Today, we will reveal the mystery of the New Year greetings between the north and the south, and let you see the difference between the way southerners and northerners greet the New Year. But before that, I'm going to give you a big collision of cultural differences between the north and the south to see if you can hold it!
1.Southern version of New Year's greetings: thriving.
In the south, New Year's greetings are usually themed "thriving". The word "steam" here symbolizes progress and development, and represents hope and prosperity. Southerners usually have a more subtle way of greeting the New Year, and like to express their hearts with red envelopes, flowers, fruits and other items. And they pay special attention to politeness and details, often with a few auspicious words, such as "Happy New Year, all the best!" Get rich" In this way, the relationship between relatives and friends is more intimate.
But don't forget, there is a lot of rain in the south, and humid weather will make the red packets mildew, so it's best to store the red packets in a dry place!
2.The northern version of the New Year's greetings: booming.
In contrast to the south, northerners celebrate the New Year with the theme of "red and red". In northern culture, "fire" symbolizes wealth and luck, and represents reunion and auspiciousness. Northerners have a straightforward personality, and the way of greeting the New Year is more direct. They usually express their hearts with New Year's money, food, tobacco and alcohol, etc., and will put up lanterns, firecrackers, and couplets during the festival to create a strong festive atmosphere. Unlike southerners, northerners also dance cheerfully to pray for good luck and a good harvest in the coming year. Of course, when I say dance, I don't mean those dancing and twisting the seedlings! Here is just a metaphor to describe the atmosphere of the northerners' happy New Year's greetings!
