这些年,春节已经走出国门,各国都在跟我们一起过年
鸡年临近末尾,狗年即将到来。今年,你打算在哪里过年?回家的票买好了吗? 在我们忙着置办年货,为家人准备礼物,一颗心早就提前一个月飞回家中的时候,其他国家也纷纷加入,有的发行狗年吉利钱,有的发行狗年纪念邮票,还有的干脆申请将春节认定为当地的正式节日。 各国庆祝春节的花样有多少?我们来为大家说一说。 美国 发行吉利钱 美国东部时间2017年11月15日,美国财政部造币和印钞局发行狗年“吉利钱”。 造币和印钞局局长莱昂纳德•奥利亚称,这是该局发行的第二轮生肖“吉利钱”的第五个产品。从2000年开始发售生肖“吉利钱”以来,该局迄今已发布29套产品,售出200万各种样式的“吉利钱”。 The Year of the Dog 2018 product is designed with decorative Chinese symbolism and is packaged in a symbolic, red folder with embossed, gold foil.

The state board of education recognized Lunar New Year as a festival of special relevance in its third grade curriculum in 2016. The Lunar New Year celebration in San Francisco Chinatown is considered the oldest and the largest of its kind outside of Asia and dates back to the 1860s. The Chinese New Year Parade is ranked among the top 10 parades in the world. The San Francisco Chinese New Year Festival and Parade is an annual event held for approximately two weeks following the first day of the Chinese New Year, it combines elements of the Chinese Lantern Festival with a typical American parade. |
