Prompt
Compare supplied reference excerpts by community, geography, date and described practice. Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess. Format for Lunar New Year cultural source comparison: 1. Explain differences without ranking authenticity or presenting one practice as universal. Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes. Notes: Three excerpts. Compare only by community, place, date, and the practice each describes. Do not rank authenticity. No excerpt calls its practice universal. Excerpt A, Teochew Association of Penang newsletter, 2024: Teochew Chinese in George Town; first lunar day, late January or early February; a shared yee sang platter at a reunion table. Excerpt B, Korean Cultural Centre London programme, 2023: Korean families in Britain; the date is called Seollal; charye at home and a bow to elders who are present. Excerpt C, Hoi An residents leaflet, 2022: Vietnamese households in Hoi An; the date is called Tet; visiting an ancestral altar and giving money in red envelopes. Names, gestures, and foods differ. This note does not rank any practice as more authentic.

These three excerpts differ by community, place, date wording, and the practice each describes. They are not ranked, and none is treated as universal. Excerpt A is the Teochew Association of Penang newsletter, 2024. It describes Teochew Chinese in George Town. The date it gives is the first lunar day, late January or early February. The practice is a shared yee sang platter at a reunion table. Excerpt B is the Korean Cultural Centre London programme, 2023. It describes Korean families in Britain. The date is called Seollal. The practice is charye at home and a bow to elders who are present. Excerpt C is a Hoi An residents leaflet, 2022. It describes Vietnamese households in Hoi An. The date is called Tet. The practice is visiting an ancestral altar and giving money in red envelopes. The names, the gestures, and the foods are not the same. Excerpt A names a shared platter, Excerpt B names a home rite and a bow, and Excerpt C names an altar visit and red envelopes. No excerpt calls its practice universal, and nothing here ranks one as more authentic than another.
