The handwritten newspaper about the festival introduces the content of the festival.

1. Festivals are important memorable days in life. It is a kind of folk culture created by people all over the world to meet the needs of production and life, and it is an important part of the world folk culture.

All nationalities and regions have their own festivals. Some festivals originated from traditional customs, such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Double Ninth Festival in China. Some festivals originate from religion, such as Christmas in Christian countries. Some festivals originated from commemorating someone or an event, such as Dragon Boat Festival, National Day and Youth Day in China. There are also days designated by campaigns advocated by international organizations, such as Labor Day, Women's Day and Mother's Day. With the passage of time, the connotation and celebration methods of festivals are also changing. At present, festivals are often confused with holidays. In fact, most festivals have no legal holidays. For example, some traditional festivals in China still have no holidays, such as the Double Ninth Festival.

3. China has been based on agriculture since ancient times. As early as more than 7,000 years ago, primitive agriculture was divided into north and south, with millet in the north and rice in the south. Agricultural production has a strong seasonality: spring sowing, summer harvest, autumn harvest, winter storage, cycle after cycle, year after year. Since ancient times, our ancestors have mastered the calendar knowledge reflecting the characteristics of agricultural production. According to legend, there were six calendars of Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Xia, Shang, Zhou and Lu in ancient times, and there was already a Gregorian calendar year in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins. Yao Dian in Shangshu divided the solar terms into four solar terms: vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice, which developed into twenty-four solar terms in the Warring States Period. More than 65,438+000 calendars were implemented in ancient China, among which (Han) calendar, (Tang) calendar, (Yuan) calendar, (Ming) calendar and (Qing) calendar all have special historical significance. According to the characteristics of climate change, these calendars divide a year into 12 months and 24 solar terms, with 72 days, about 365 days, thus forming the calculation basis of New Year's Eve. Calendar reflects the laws of agricultural production, plays a positive guiding role in agricultural production, and also provides the necessary premise for the emergence of festivals at the age of 20. Some festivals, such as beginning of spring, summer solstice, autumn solstice and winter solstice, are directly derived from solar terms. The 20-year-old festival is closely related to the solar terms, but the solar terms themselves are not festivals. Apart from the above, they only provide the premise for the emergence of festivals, and the formation of festivals must also have certain customs as its content.
