Christmas is not a traditional Chinese holiday, it is a holiday for people who believe in God. Christmas is a major holiday in the West and in many other parts of the world because of the large proportion of believers in God in the West.

In the early 4th century, January 6 was a double feast day for churches in the eastern part of the Roman Empire to commemorate the birth and baptism of Jesus, known as Epiphany, or Epiphany, when God revealed Himself to the world through Jesus. The only exception to this was the church in Nablus, which commemorated only the birth of Jesus, not His baptism. Historians have since found in the calendar used by the Roman Christians a page dated December 25, 354 A.D. that reads, "Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judah." Upon examination, it is generally believed that December 25th accompanied by Christmas may have begun in 336 A.D. in the Church of Rome, spreading to Antioch in Asia Minor around 375 A.D., and to Alexandria in Egypt in 430 A.D. The Church of Nerushalayim accepted it the latest, while the Church of Armenia still maintains that Epiphany, January 6, is the birth of Jesus.

The holiday is now accepted by a large number of nationals, many of whom actually do not believe in God, but just take the opportunity to celebrate it, to make a fuss and enjoy the joy it brings.

There are many traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival and so on.
