China holiday order. Why is this?

Let's talk about solar terms first, then festivals.

24 solar terms, a remarkable achievement of China's agricultural civilization, is still playing a role.

First, the calendar in China is very developed. Our current lunar calendar, derived from the summer calendar, is constantly improving, close to the law of the earth's revolution around the sun, relatively accurate, and very remarkable in ancient society.

The second is China's farming civilization. Farming should adapt to the weather, and crop growth and harvest will be affected after the season. According to the changes in nature, our ancestors observed and groped for practice, and summarized the climate characteristics of a year into 24 solar terms.

Third, solar terms are the product of the combination of calendar, land and climate. At least I have mastered the natural conditions in East Asia. 15 day is a solar term, and there are 24 solar terms in a year. The solar terms are very accurate.

The order of the twenty-four solar terms starts from one year. According to the changes and characteristics of nature, a solar term is used to mark the characteristics of 15 days, reminding people what to do and pay attention to, forming many agricultural proverbs and living standards, and planning production and life.

Tell me about our traditional festivals.

Our festivals are closely related to agricultural civilization and solar terms. The traditional festivals in China are the products of agricultural culture, but now the festive atmosphere is not strong, because our life has entered the stage of industrial civilization and information society, and we have lost the foundation of agriculture.

The Spring Festival is a great invention. Between leisure and cultivation, the new year is approaching. Use this festival to welcome spring, pray for a bumper harvest, and at the same time, the family will get together to rest and worship their ancestors, forming a Spring Festival culture.

Lantern Festival is an extension of the Spring Festival, and the festive atmosphere is enhanced by making lanterns. Both the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival have certain cultural connotations and will not be carried out due to space constraints.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a kind of ancestor worship culture, and there are many different opinions about its origin, all of which developed from the Cold Food Festival to commemorate ancestors, and they are quite consistent.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is very clear, and it has something to do with commemorating Qu Yuan.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. After a year's harvest, the family was reunited with Mei Mei to celebrate the harvest. It is also an important festival after the Spring Festival.

Solar terms and festivals are the products of agricultural civilization in China. It is very important to carry forward traditional culture, inheritance and innovation. This is the precious cultural wealth given to us by our ancestors, and we should cherish it and carry it forward.
