Novruz celebration in China

[edit]
Salar people in China celebrating Nowruz[1]

Traditionally, "Nawriz" was celebrated mainly in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region by the Uyghur, Chinese Tajik and Kazakh ethnicities. However, in recent years, the authorities have put tight restrictions on Nawriz celebrations in major Uyghur cities, while promoted the Chinese New Year as a major holiday in the traditionally Turkic and Muslim province. However, in 2010, many Chinese citizens in other provinces of China responded to the UN's promotion of Nowruz as an international day of cultural heritage, by promoting Spring Equinox both as a revival of the traditional ethnic Han Qingmiao Festival (Day of Green Sprouts) and the "International Day of Friendship and Peace". The ethnic Salars of Qinghai also celebrated on March 21, 2010 their first "Novruz" in modern times, as a revived Turkmen holiday. Thus, 2010 can be seen as the first year of revival of Nowruz or Qingmiao Festival in the Chinese provinces outside of Xinjiang.
