1. The three traditional festivals in China are Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Spring Festival has a long history. It evolved from ancient sacrifices and is also the most important traditional festival in a year. Every Spring Festival, all parts of the country present a lively and festive atmosphere. Traditional customs of the Spring Festival include: posting couplets, setting off firecrackers, eating jiaozi, celebrating the New Year and so on.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the activities of the Dragon Boat Festival. People think that the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is a good day for the black dragon to fly. The ancestors of southern wuyue established this festival to pray for good luck and ward off evil spirits. Later, because Qu Yuan, a poet in the Warring States period, jumped on the Miluo River on this day, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a day to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional folk festival in China, which originated from the activity of offering sacrifices to the moon in ancient autumn. Later, it was designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival has customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes and playing with lanterns, and many customs have been passed down to this day. This festival is also entrusted with the feelings of missing hometown and relatives.
