The origin of Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.

The origins of Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival are as follows:

1, Spring Festival

In China, the beginning of the Lunar New Year is called the Spring Festival. It is the most solemn traditional festival of China people, and it also symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hope for the future. According to records, the people of China have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years, which was initiated by Yu Shun. One day more than two thousand years BC, Shun became emperor and led his men to worship heaven and earth. Since then, people have regarded this day as the beginning of a year, that is, the first day of the first month.

2. Tomb-Sweeping Day

It is said that the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day began with the "grave-sweeping" ceremony of ancient emperors and generals. Later, people followed suit, and it became a fixed custom of the Chinese nation to worship ancestors and sweep graves on this day.

3. Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Moon Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, Moon Chasing Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Daughter's Day or Reunion Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena, and the worship of the moon is a legacy of the ancient autumn harvest. The custom of Mid-Autumn Festival was formed in the early Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mid-Autumn Festival had become one of the major festivals in China.

4. Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival, which originated in China, was originally a festival in which ancient ancestors offered sacrifices to their ancestors in the form of dragon boat races. Qu Yuan, a Chu poet in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River during the Dragon Boat Festival, and later took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. In some places, there are sayings in memory of Wu Zixu, Cao E and meson tui.
