Festivals, is the world's people to adapt to the needs of production and life and *** with the creation of a folk culture, is an important part of the world's folk culture.

Festivals are important days in life that are worth remembering. All nationalities and regions have their own festivals. Some festivals originate from traditional customs, such as China's Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival and Chongyang Festival. Some festivals originate from religion, such as Christmas in Christian countries. Some festivals originate from the commemoration of someone or something, such as China's Dragon Boat Festival, National Day, Youth Day, and so on. There are also days designated by movements promoted by international organizations, such as Labor Day, Women's Day, and Mother's Day. Over time, the connotations of festivals and the way they are celebrated have changed. And nowadays, festivals are often confused with holidays, and in fact most of them do not have legal holidays, such as some of China's traditional festivals that still do not have holidays, such as the Chongyang Festival.

China has been founded on agriculture since ancient times. As early as 7,000 years ago, primitive agriculture was already divided between the north and the south, with corn as the main crop in the north and rice as the main crop in the south. Agricultural production is characterized by strong seasonality: spring sowing, summer plowing, autumn harvesting, winter storage. summer plowing, fall harvesting, winter storage, week after week, year after year. Since ancient times, Chinese ancestors have mastered the knowledge of the calendar, which reflects the characteristics of agricultural production. According to legend, in ancient times, there were six calendars: Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Lu, and there was already a calendar in the Nihon ruins oracle, and there was a division of the spring equinoxes, summer solstices, autumn equinoxes, and winter solstices in the Shangshu-Yao Dian, which was developed into the 24 seasons in the Warring States period.

Ancient China successively implemented more than 100 kinds of calendars, among which (Han) Taichu Calendar, (Tang) Xuanming Calendar, (Yuan) Jiuzhi Calendar, (Ming) Daitong Calendar, and (Qing) Shixian Calendar, all of them have special historical significance. These calendars, based on the characteristics of climate change, divided the year into 12 months, 24 solar terms, 72 weather conditions, and about 365 days, thus forming the basis for the calculation of the yearly festivals. The calendars reflected the laws of agricultural production and played a positive role in guiding agricultural production, while at the same time providing the necessary prerequisites for the emergence of annual festivals.

Some festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Summer Solstice, Autumn Festival, and Winter Solstice, were developed directly from the festivals. The festivals of the year are very closely related to the calendar festivals, but the calendar festivals themselves are not festivals, except for a few of the above, but only for the festival to provide a prerequisite for the formation of festivals, the formation of festivals must also have a certain custom for its content.

China's primitive ancestors often worshiped certain animals as gods, the most typical of which is the dragon totem worship. Dragon totem worship on the Chinese nation's influence is extremely far-reaching, the ancient Wu Yue people every year in the Dragon Boat Festival this day will be held in sacrifice to the dragon totem "dragon boat racing" activities, this dragon totem worship is one of the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival custom formation.

"Agriculture is the foundation of the world" is the traditional concept of the Chinese people, and the crops on which human beings depend for survival and development are rooted in the soil, therefore, the worship of the land god occupies an important position in the primitive worship. Anciently known as sacrifices to the god of the land for the "social sacrifice", Yinxu oracle bone inscriptions there are many sacrifices to the "milli soil" of the divination. February 2nd? The land god's birthday, also known as the social day or social king festival, the main folk activities is to worship the land god, praying for a good agricultural harvest.
