The excitement of the Chinese New Year 2576 Kongzili in the shopping center

Greetings everyone, I hope you are always healthy wherever you are!!!, this time I will share my experience playing on a national holiday in Indonesia yesterday, namely Chinese New Year 2576 congzili to one of the Malls in Jakarta, Chinese New Year itself is intended for our brothers who adhere to the Confucian religion, this year the Chinese New Year itself entered the new year of the wooden snake which symbolizes ingenuity, wisdom, and adaptability. For information, there are 5 religions recognized by the State of Indonesia, namely Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, but there are also several additional religions that exist but have not been recognized by the state, usually these religions are called beliefs. And what makes me proud in Indonesia is where we can coexist with various ethnicities, races, and beliefs without any conflict even if one religion celebrates a major holiday, adherents of other religions also celebrate and respect the celebration, the government also provides space or policies for its people to worship by giving holidays on existing religious holidays. The adherents of the Confucian religion themselves are quite a lot in Indonesia, most of the adherents themselves are ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. The uniqueness of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia itself has blended with the culture in Indonesia in terms of language, customs, and lifestyle that is exactly the same as the natives because the government requires civic education in every school to foster a sense of nationalism of its people.

This year, Chinese New Year at the shopping center I visited was quite lively because the enthusiasm of the community was quite high to welcome this Chinese New Year, from the Mall also paid tribute to this holiday by creating events, various entertainment, and decorations as a welcome to the Chinese New Year itself. The mall held events that took place during Chinese New Year such as clothing and food bazaars. In addition, various kinds of promos are also given by Tenants who collaborate with the Mall to be enjoyed by visiting customers. The entertainment itself includes entertainment for the community such as lion dance performances, money gods, and also Chinese musical instruments, namely ghuzengg, all entertainment shows themselves can be enjoyed by the public for free without any charge and besides that the show is held 3 consecutive days. The decoration of the building is also no less interesting because it is decorated with pendants that are all red, and there is also a mini temple that has lights and snake statues as a symbol of this year, namely the New Year of the wooden snake. You can see for yourself the excitement that exists in the Mall at the time of the shows, the enthusiasm of the community is very high because the show only exists once a year so it is very rare to see the show.

That's all I can share with you, if you have the opportunity to visit Indonesia during religious holidays or other holidays maybe you can try to visit shopping centers in Jakarta and in other cities to get interesting promos that can be enjoyed. Thanks for listening guys, next time I will share other excitement about holidays or other holidays in Indonesia.
