Why celebrate the festival?

This is a custom passed down from generation to generation, or used to express affection and friendship, or to remember ancestors, or to honor elders, or to admire lovers. It goes without saying, but it is not clear in one or two sentences what we spent during the holiday. In the past, there were specific actions such as begging for food, seeking cleverness, seeking wisdom, whispering under vines in the quiet night, and now these things are either forgotten or have no atmosphere to do. When we are going to celebrate Tanabata, we are really at a loss. We don't know how to spend this festival. Finally, we will go shopping or have a good meal.

For modern people who are in a hurry, National Day and May Day are more worth looking forward to than traditional festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. It's not that some of the former are richer in connotation, but that they can take a long vacation and finally have a good rest. Many things that should be done but have no time to do can also be concentrated. So some people think that traditional festivals should also have a holiday, as if traditional festivals would be saved. I don't think so. If a festival has nothing to do with our spirit and feelings, such a festival is neither worth looking forward to nor worth looking forward to. Some festivals, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, seem to have no publicity and no festivals. People still have to celebrate and sweep graves, because it is a personal spiritual sustenance and emotional comfort. Spring Festival is the first traditional festival because it affects people's spirit and feelings too much, even if they have no money. It is not so much a festival as a big emotional blowout and spiritual movement.
