The relationship between Chinese and Christmas 1300 years ago, do you know?
Christmas is also called Jesus' Christmas and the Lord's birth day. Catholicism is also called Jesus' Christmas salute. The translation of the name "Christ mass", which originated from the Roman New Year's festival of agriculturism, has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity prevailed in the Roman Empire, the Vatican gradually incorporated this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
As we all know, Christmas was set up to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Christmas Day is not the birthday of Jesus. Even many historians believe that Jesus was born in spring. It wasn't until the 3rd century that December 25th was officially designated as Christmas. Because the Bible does not record the specific day when Jesus was born, it also does not mention that there is such a festival, which is the result of Christianity absorbing ancient Roman mythology.
Most catholic churches hold midnight mass on December 24, the early morning of December 25, and some Christian Churches celebrate Christmas on December 25.
China's celebration of Christmas in the name of the state dates back to 1300 years ago.
More than 1300 years ago, in the twelfth month of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty celebrated the birth of Jesus for the Nestorians in the Daming Palace. He distributed incense cakes to the believers and held a feast for the monks. This is the only record of Christmas in the Tang Dynasty. This moment is forever engraved in 781 ad, Dezong Chi built "Daqin Nestorianism popular in China monument.".
Christmas is a religious festival. In the 19th century, the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus made Christmas gradually popular. After the popularity of Christmas celebrations in northern Europe, the Christmas decorations combined with the northern hemisphere winter also appeared.
From the beginning to the middle of the 19th century, the whole Europe and America began to celebrate Christmas. And derived from the corresponding Christmas culture.
Christmas spread to Asia in the middle of the 19th century, Japan, South Korea, China and so on were affected by the Christmas culture.
In recent decades, the spread of Christmas in China is particularly prominent. Christmas organically combines with Chinese local customs, and its development is becoming more and more mature. Eating apples, wearing christmas hats, sending Christmas cards, attending Christmas parties and shopping have become a part of Chinese life.
Christmas in 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the way is different from that in previous years. Everyone must have planned their own different ways of celebrating the festival.
