The traditional festivals of the Chinese nation bear the humanistic and natural cultural contents such as faith, sacrifice, astronomy, geography, phenology, martial arts and calendar. The early festival culture reflects the ancient people's humanistic spirit of worshipping nature and integrating heaven and man. A series of sacrificial activities contain profound cultural connotations of etiquette, music and civilization.

Most traditional festivals were formed in ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, due to the different customs between the north and the south, the customs of various places have not been integrated and popularized, and many ancient festivals and customs activities are rarely recorded in the Central Plains literature. The Han Dynasty was the first great development period after the reunification of China. The economic and cultural exchanges between the North and the South made customs and habits merge with each other, which provided good social conditions for the spread and popularization of festival customs. The Tang Dynasty is an important period when traditional festival customs are mixed and shaped, and its main part has been passed down to this day.
