1. Spring Festival:

The origin of the Spring Festival has a long history, originally for praying for a bumper harvest and offering sacrifices to ancestors. With the changes of the times, the meaning of the Spring Festival is constantly evolving. In modern society, the Spring Festival is not only the traditional Lunar New Year, but also an important festival for national unity, people's joy, cultural heritage and economic development.

During the Spring Festival, there are many interesting customs, among which the most representative ones are sweeping the door, posting Spring Festival couplets, New Year's Eve dinner, setting off firecrackers, dancing dragons and lions, giving out red envelopes and paying New Year greetings. The taste of the Spring Festival is also very unique. Traditional holiday foods include jiaozi, rice cakes, sweets, glutinous rice balls, sausages, chicken, duck, fish and so on. These delicious foods with rich annual flavor have brought people a rich food experience.

2. Tomb-Sweeping Day:

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as Cold Food Festival, is one of the important traditional festivals in China. It is usually between April 4th and April 5th of the lunar calendar, and it is also one of the 24 solar terms in China lunar calendar, indicating that Tomb-Sweeping Day has arrived.

Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from ancient sacrificial activities to commemorate and cherish the memory of deceased relatives and ancestors. On this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people will go to their ancestors' graves for worship and grave-sweeping ceremonies. People will clean up cemeteries, repair tombstones, and present flowers, food and paper money to their ancestors to show their thoughts and respect for their deceased relatives. At the same time, we will pray for peace and blessings for the souls of our ancestors.

3. Dragon Boat Festival:

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as "Duanyang Festival" and "Double Ninth Festival", is one of the important traditional festivals in China. It usually falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and it is also one of the 24 solar terms of the China lunar calendar, indicating the official start of summer.

Dragon Boat Festival originated from the ancient dragon boat race and the tradition of commemorating Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet and national hero in ancient China, risked his life for spiritual belief and safeguarding national culture, and finally disappeared into the river. In order to commemorate him, people hold a series of activities such as dragon boat race, eating zongzi and hanging mugwort leaves on the fifth day of May every year to pay homage to and remember Qu Yuan's deeds and spirit.
