Dietfurt, Germany. 08th Feb, 2024. A group dressed in Chinese costumes takes part in the traditional Chinese carnival parade. As every year on "Nonsensical Thursday", jesters dressed as Asians parade through the town. The Chinese carnival goes back to a legend according to which the people of Dietfurt simply left a tax collector standing outside the town wall in the Middle Ages. The treasurer is said to have subsequently complained to the bishop, his employer, that the people of Dietfurt were hiding behind their wall "like the Chinese".
