During the busy time, the commemorative Spring Festival will bring people a lot of happiness. During the Spring Festival in China, every household will decorate with lanterns, paste couplets and blessings at home, and set off firecrackers to highlight the flavor of the year. In Japan, the Spring Festival is also a very important festival. Japanese temples will hold activities to welcome the Spring Festival and pray for blessings. What are the customs and cultures in Japan during the Spring Festival? Clean-up
Before the Spring Festival, Japan will clean up the house to welcome the New Year, and it will also throw away some unused things. Because Japan attaches great importance to garbage cleaning, there is a time limit for every household to throw away garbage, so people will actively complete the clean-up before the Spring Festival. Before the Spring Festival, many people will hang a rope in front of the door, which is called the injection rope. It is a woven straw rope and is mainly used to exorcise evil spirits. New Year's Diet
Japanese people are also very particular about their diet during the Chinese New Year. On New Year's Eve, according to tradition, every household should eat buckwheat noodles, because it has a good moral. Just like China's longevity noodles, this kind of food represents health and longevity, and it is the sustenance of people's good wishes. In addition, housewives will also prepare boxes for their families. Every food will be exquisite, and the ingredients in the boxes have beautiful meanings, such as roe representing the prosperity of their children, shrimp representing longevity, and small fish representing harvest. There are many delicious foods during the Chinese New Year, which will reward people for their hard work for a year. Blessing activities
During the Spring Festival, Japanese people will also hold blessing activities. On New Year's Eve, temples all over the country will ring bells to pray for blessings, and temples will ring 18 bells, which means that troubles are over and the New Year is coming. Many people will visit temple fairs, burn incense and worship Buddha and pray for a happy life during the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, most Japanese people wear traditional costumes, and women wearing kimonos will be seen in the streets. Japanese seldom visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, because they prefer to stay at home and avoid causing trouble to others, which is also one of the traditional customs in Japan. ?
