Why have many traditional festivals disappeared? What are the traditional festivals in China?

According to the traditions and customs of our nation, there are eight traditional festivals a year:

1, Spring Festival: The Spring Festival is the most solemn and distinctive traditional festival among the people in China, and it is also the most lively and oldest festival. Generally speaking, it refers to New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month, that is, the first day of the year, that is, the lunar calendar, commonly known as "Chinese New Year".

2. Lantern Festival: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Yuanxiao means the first full moon night of the year, also known as "Shangyuan Festival".

3. Tomb-Sweeping Day: Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave-sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave and offering sacrifices to the dead. At the same time, Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms in China. Because the 24 solar terms objectively reflect the changes of temperature, rainfall and phenology throughout the year, ancient working people used them to arrange agricultural activities.

4. Dragon Boat Festival: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

5. Tanabata: The seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the ancient Valentine's Day in China. Some people also call it "Qiaoqiao Festival" or "Daughter's Day".

6. Mid-Autumn Festival: August 15th of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In China's lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called "moonlit night" and "August Festival". On this night, people look up at the bright moon like jade in the sky and naturally look forward to family reunion. Wanderers who are far away from home also take this opportunity to pin their thoughts on their relatives in their hometown. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival".

7. Chongyang: the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is called "Gauteng Festival", and its customs include sightseeing, climbing high and looking far, watching chrysanthemums, planting dogwood everywhere, eating Chongyang cake, drinking chrysanthemum wine and other activities. Now China has designated the ninth day of September as the Day of Respect for the Elderly.

8. Winter solstice: Winter solstice is a very important solar term, and it is also a traditional festival of the China lunar calendar. Until now, there are still many places that have the custom of winter solstice. The winter solstice is commonly known as "Winter Festival", "Dragon Solstice Festival" and "Asian New Year Festival".
