The Spring Festival, one of China's most significant traditional holidays, carries deep cultural significance and historical meaning. More than just a time for family reunions, it has become an important bridge connecting Chinese and foreign cultures.
Ericka Koo, a student from Costa Rica, shares her impressions of the Chinese Spring Festival in a recent video. When talking about the festival's delicious dishes, she highlights her love for dumplings and tangyuan (sweet rice dumplings). She believes these foods not only embody tradition but also bring warmth and joy to the celebrations.
Ericka also introduces festivals in Costa Rica that share similarities with the Spring Festival. She notes that the common thread among these celebrations is the emphasis on gathering with family and friends to cherish special moments. This universal theme allows people to experience the same sense of warmth and togetherness across different cultures.
