What are the four traditional festivals in China?

The four traditional festivals in China are Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, as follows:

1, Spring Festival

Commonly known as "New Year" and "Lao Dan", it evolved from praying for the New Year in the first month of ancient times. As the beginning of the year, the Spring Festival is the biggest traditional festival of the Chinese nation. The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development.

2. Tomb-Sweeping Day

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as "outing", usually falls on15th day after the vernal equinox, which is a natural solar term and a traditional festival in China. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancestral belief and the custom of worshipping spring in ancient times, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival.

3. Dragon Boat Festival

The time is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, Zhengyang Festival and Yulan Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of natural phenomena and evolved from the ancient Dragon Boat Festival.

4. Mid-Autumn Festival

Also known as "Reunion Festival", "August Festival" and "Daughter's Day", it falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month every year. Sacrificing the moon, enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes are its main customs, which mainly express the feelings of missing family's hometown and reunion.

Protection measures of traditional festivals

The media should attach importance to folk culture and study it well. Folk culture itself is a non-verbal thing. How to systematize non-verbal things through the media and make the introduction of folk culture into a series of systematic things is a kind of cultural accumulation. Rescuing and shooting things that are about to disappear through the media, and carefully reporting and guiding things that are still being passed down are all things that the media should do.

Especially in the network era, systematic publicity can be carried out through various forms. First, we should introduce the traditional folk culture, and then invite guests to talk about it. For those who have research, another thing is to collect folk songs at the grassroots level, understand the lives and feelings of ordinary people, and vividly publicize traditional knowledge to young people.
