7 . Here are some New Year traditions from around the world that are likely different from what you’re used to.
Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, there is a local New Year tradition called Survakane. In the morning of January 1, children across Bulgaria go from house to house offering to hit the adults on the back with decorated cherry branches (called Surwatschki). It is believed that this act ensures good health and a long life ahead for the adult victims. In return, the kids are rewarded with small cakes, nuts, dried fruits, and other small gifts.
Spain
In Spain, when midnight arrives, you should eat 12 grapes (each eaten with every strike of the clock). When eating each grape, people are also encouraged to make a wish for the new year ahead. If you find yourself in Spain on New Year’s Eve and you don’t have any grapes on hand, don’t panic—you can easily find them on sale in all shops and pubs in every town. Handily, these grapes even come in packs of 12!
Italy
If you’re celebrating the New Year in Italy, you need to make sure that your underpants (内裤）are red. In Italy, wearing red underwear guarantees good luck and success for the year ahead! That’s why shortly after Christmas, Italians rush to department stores across the country in order to get their hands on some “lucky” red underpants.
Brazil
If you’re ever lucky enough to find yourself on a beach in Brazil on New Year’s Eve, then you’ve to make sure that you celebrate the new year like the locals do—by jumping into the sea when the clock strikes 12! You have to jump over seven waves, making a New Year’s wish every time you clear a wave. If you really want to make sure that these wishes come true, then you should wear different-colored underwear for each wish. Yellow for money, red or pink for love, green for hope, and white for peace. And all the underwear should be brand new！

9 . The concept “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, from January to July 2022, the search volume for “Guochao” as a keyword has increased by 392. 66% year on year. Big Data Report of 2021 Guochao Pride Search from Baidu revealed that the level of interest in guochao has skyrocketed in the past 10 years. Domestic（国内 的）products are in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers.
China chic mixes unique cultural elements with the latest trends in various industries, which not only satisfies younger consumers' needs for pursuing personality and fashion, but also plays a role in bringing back traditional culture. The rise of China chic is the result of China's rapid economic development and has some cultural motivations behind it. Besides, the continuous improvement of the consumption power of Chinese people is an important reason for the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force for the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization has left us a rich cultural heritage. Guochao is, in many ways, the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese nationalism. Starting in the fashion industry, this trend shows Chinese consumers' newfound interest in Chinese cultural heritage. The guochao trend is at its strongest among young adults who live in an even more powerful China and thus have a strong feeling of national pride. China's national strength is increasing, and its soft power is also on the rise. Even so, we still have a long way to go to carry forward this China chic. But as it has become a part of people's lives, no doubt there will even be more diverse China chic products showing Chinese charm in the future.
