Anby Blog 3: Culture

Hi, this is Anby. I am poor in history so I can not tell you about the relation between culture and history (although it is a better way). Since I did a presentation on my class a month ago, and search the different holiday culture between Japan and Chinese. I will show you some interesting about I learned when I heard presentation by people. There are three holidays I want to show you culture different between Japan and Chinese. As you may know, new year is on 1st Janurary in Japan, also other western. However, China has two new -year days. One is on the same day as Japan, the other is on 1st January but it is on lunar calendar. Lunar calendar is a calendar come from China for few thousand years, so you can seems that as china culture. Secondly, Christmas is also different than Japan. For example, Chinese will give a typing apple as a Christmas present to him/her friends or family, Chinese believe that apple implys peace, so they tend to send apple to wish her/him friends or family health. Last, it is children day. You may know that child day is on 5th May in Japan, but do you know Chinese is different? It's on 1st June. Child day in China also has a celebrate than Japan, children under 4 grades will end the class by noon on that day.

Nearby country also has many different cultures, do you know some different to share us?
