Why is it a holiday,? What is the meaning of festivals?

There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival and so on. In recent years many western festivals have been introduced, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day. However, with the development of modern business society and the impact of wrong concepts such as money supremacy and individualism, traditional festivals are also facing a crisis.

"The flavor of the festival has faded", and people seem to have distinctly felt that traditional festivals are drifting away and becoming more and more diluted. But some say the festivals are the equivalent of an agreed-upon "instruction manual for mortal life" that simplifies life while giving meaning to the mundane. With them, even if the six godless people, also know how to arrange next month, the people who are muddle-headed, but also feel that life has a running start.

Why we celebrate festivals:

The significance of festivals lies in its constant reminder to always remember the meaning of life: love! Festivals allow people to experience and feel the meaning of love, and always remind people to cherish the love they have, including love, friendship, affection...

The old ancestors left us this many festivals, the reason why the enduring, not because of the beautiful legend behind each festival, not because it shows all kinds of forms, there is only one reason, that is: love! This is the meaning and soul of all festivals.

The different forms are just different sets and thoughts on this theme. National Day lets us pay more attention to and love the country, Chongyang Day lets us pay more attention to and love the elderly, Children's Day lets us pay more attention to and love the children, Mother's Day and Father's Day lets us pay more attention to and love our parents, Valentine's Day lets us pay more attention to and love our partners, and New Year's Day lets us more y appreciate the love of family.

So as long as there is love in our hearts, no matter how we celebrate the holiday form, our holiday will be rich in meaning and beautiful.
