I like our Spring Festival holiday newsletter.

I know the origin and culture of many festivals. There are the origins and customs of traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival. It is not difficult to see that the national spirit that runs through these festivals is to cultivate righteousness, promote morality, show wisdom, punish evil and promote good. This is the cultural essence of the Chinese nation, and it is also something that we need to inherit and carry forward. I like our festival very much. Now I will introduce you to two traditional festivals in China.

Let's talk about the Spring Festival first. It is the biggest and most lively national traditional festival in China. I like the Spring Festival, because there are always Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures and window grilles, firecrackers and fireworks, and New Year wishes ... These things are very interesting-we put the word "fu" upside down, get lucky money, wrap jiaozi, eat rice cakes ... On the night before the Spring Festival, we all "stand guard". Besides eating New Year's Eve, we will also play various games, such as chess, cards and rice cakes. In festival offerings, a large plate of apples must be prepared, which is what people call "peace". In some places, the cakes and foods prepared for birthday celebrations are full of auspicious homophones: eating dates means that spring comes early, eating persimmons means all the best, eating almonds means happiness, eating longevity fruit means immortality, and eating rice cakes means getting older. How interesting and meaningful all this is. These customs show the wisdom of China people and represent our long-standing national culture. I am also proud of the birth of these customs. I especially like our Spring Festival in China.

Besides the Spring Festival, I also have a soft spot for the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Mid-Autumn Festival", also known as "Moon Festival", falls on August 15 of the lunar calendar and has a long history. As early as Zhou Li, the word Mid-Autumn Festival was recorded. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will hold a ceremony to admire and sacrifice the moon. Mid-Autumn Festival has begun to take shape in this period. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the moon was still appreciated. When the bright moon rises, every household arranges moon cakes and various fruits in the yard and balcony, and chats while enjoying the moon. Many poets wrote poems under the moon and wrote masterpieces that are still popular today. Today, the custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread to this day. Look, under the moonlight, people taste moon cakes in their own yards and enjoy the moonlight. We children all take moon cakes to shine on the moon, and compare which one is rounder, fearing that the moon will eat it. It was really enjoyable.

A festival, like a story, has a wonderful and moving plot; Festivals are a kind of culture with rich and colorful contents. Faced with the impact of many westernized festival cultures, I hope we can inherit more traditional China culture and celebrate festivals with local characteristics in China. Every festival represents the traditional culture of China, and I love our festivals.
