What are the traditional festivals and customs in China?

1, Lantern Festival

Before the Lantern Festival, the bride's family sends lanterns to her newly-married daughter's family, or ordinary relatives and friends give them to her newly-married infertile family, so as to increase good luck, and hope that her daughter will have good luck after marriage and have an early baby. If your daughter is pregnant, you should also send one or two pairs of small lanterns to wish her a safe pregnancy.

On the first day of the first month, people in many places will put on dishes, pour wine and hold grand sacrificial ceremonies to express their memories of their ancestors and pray for their protection.
