Culture is split into four main sectors: Food, fashion, folks and festivals.
China and Singapore have different similarities and differences. Both of us celebrate Chinese New Year to bring a new beginning, believe in the Hungry Ghost Festival and celebrate the mid-autumn festival. Yet, we also have differences such as our traditional dishes like crunchy kaya toast, the famous , all time favourite chilli crab, creamy laksa as well as other delicious delicacies while china wows tourists with their extremely stinky tofu, juicy steamed dumplings and handmade beef noodles.
Despite our differences, our countries are still able to maintain a good relationship with strong ties.
China lean more towards the Chinese side while Singapore is immersed in both the Western and Chinese sides, while at the same time, include other races and religions into the factor. We also have shared values putting our nation before our society and self, and being proud and loyal to our country. In terms of fashion, China's traditional costume is the qipao, a dress dress usually adorned with floral patterns and in a bright color, especially red. In Singapore, we have a mixture of different races, so we don't have a particularly exact traditional costume, but we do also wear the qipao during Chinese New Year. We also celebrate Deepavali and Hari Raya for the Malay and Indian friends.
Different countries differ in habits and values but we should all be sensitive and respect each and one of the country's practices.
