What are the origins or origins of traditional festivals?

Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Reunion Festival, because every family will get together to eat moon cakes and watch the moon, and the whole family will get together and have fun. In addition to eating moon cakes and enjoying the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival also has the custom of enjoying osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine, because August is the season when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. Smelling faint osmanthus fragrance and drinking osmanthus wine will make the whole person relaxed and comfortable.

The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival is because autumn is the harvest season. In ancient times, farmers took Mid-Autumn Festival as a festival to celebrate the harvest of crops and all kinds of melons and fruits and express their joy. This is how the Mid-Autumn Festival was handed down. In ancient times, lanterns were played during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now there are few places to play lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Second, Laba Festival

Every Spring Festival, we burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for peace in the coming year. In fact, besides the Spring Festival, we will also go to worship Buddha and cook Laba porridge on Laba Festival. I have to say that Laba porridge is very delicious because it is made of a variety of ingredients. The origin of Laba Festival in ancient times was to pray for a bumper harvest and good luck, so ancestors and gods were sacrificed on Laba Festival at that time, and later this festival was handed down.

Third, China Valentine's Day.

Tanabata is a festival for dating couples, and it is also a traditional festival in China. Some people like Valentine's Day in the West, but most people still like Valentine's Day in China. I believe everyone knows the legend about Valentine's Day in China. At that time, Cowherd and niece fell in love, but the Queen Mother knew about it and they were forced to separate the two places. Only on Qixi, when magpies bridge the bridge for them, can they meet. However, the origin of Valentine's Day in China is due to the ancient begging custom, so Valentine's Day in China is also called Begging Festival.
