Spring Festival and Christmas Day, two representative and well-known festivals are chosen here to probe into the deeper layer of different human cultures. It is hoped that this study, which focuses on the comparison of Spring Festival and Christmas Day from many aspects, will help readers get a deeper understanding of different human cultures.
