From Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, seven traditional festivals in China have been designated as "our festivals".

Since 2009, in order to vigorously carry forward and cultivate the national spirit with patriotism as the core, inherit the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation, and improve the level of urban civilization and social harmony, a series of notices have been issued to provinces, cities, counties (cities), development zones and municipal departments at all levels on extensively carrying out the theme activities of "Our Festival", requiring their subordinate units to:

First of all, fully understand the significance of carrying out the theme activities of "Our Festival".

Traditional festivals in China condense the national spirit and feelings of the Chinese nation, bear the cultural blood and ideological essence of the Chinese nation, are important spiritual ties for safeguarding national unity, national unity and social harmony, and are valuable resources for building advanced socialist culture.

Secondly, dig deep into the cultural connotation of traditional festivals.

We should closely focus on the theme of traditional festivals and highlight the connotation of traditional culture. Among many traditional festivals in China, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival are the most extensive and representative. All departments of the municipal government should organize various forms of commemorative activities around the excellent national cultural traditions contained in traditional festivals to enhance the general public's understanding of traditional festivals and enhance national pride. Third, actively innovate the form and carrier of theme activities.

We should pay attention to the innovation of the form and carrier of theme activities, truly adapt traditional festivals to modern lifestyles, enhance people's emotional exchanges through festival activities, enrich people's inner world, meet people's spiritual needs and enhance people's spiritual strength.

Thirdly, strengthen the publicity and guidance of theme activities.

We should conscientiously do a good job in the propaganda and guidance of traditional festivals, and timely sum up the experience and practices of promoting and utilizing traditional festivals to carry forward the excellent traditions of Chinese culture. It is necessary to give full play to the guiding role of news media in publicizing traditional festivals, strengthen public opinion propaganda on national traditional festivals, and expand the influence of "Our Festival" to truly make it a festival for the general public.

Specific reference

On the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival, firecrackers rang for a year, and the spring breeze sent warmth into Tu Su.

Yu Dan's interpretation: China people's festivals are logical and run through the four seasons, showing irreplaceable splendor in each season. We always welcome the warmest and hottest festival of China people in the coldest winter season, that is, our New Year Spring Festival.

(Excerpted from Yu Dan's speech at the press conference of the Great Hall of the People on the China Festival of Xianghe in the first season of "The Yellow Emperor's descendants apply for our holiday initiative". )

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, Jin Wu has to stay at night, and lanterns are all over the world.

Yu Dan's explanation: The seven festivals of China people are related to our calendar. China people's traditional lunar calendar embodies the core principle, that is, what China Taoism said: the law of man and the law of nature should be done in the day. When spring sprouts, our Lantern Festival begins to set off firecrackers.

It's a good spring day in Tomb-Sweeping Day during the Qingming Lunar New Year. Women and Qingming men spend the Spring Festival together.

Yu Dan's interpretation: the spring breeze is rippling and crystal clear, which is not only the time to pursue the distant place carefully, but also the time to fly the dream of youth. It is a new force that people gain in memory.

On the fifth day of May, calamus horn millet, dragon boat race. In 2009, China Dragon Boat Festival was listed as a masterpiece of the world intangible cultural heritage.

Interpretation by Yu Dan: During the Dragon Boat Festival, Dr. Qu Yuan was a responsible and responsible person. Under the great responsibility of the rise and fall of his home country, he stuck to his dream with his life. We hope to protect this spiritual temperament and this poetic tradition.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, girls are worried and worship the stars; If two people's feelings last long, they will last long. Also known as Valentine's Day in China.

Interpretation by Yu Dan: Tanabata is a romantic festival of the Chinese nation, gentle and sincere, and not good at myths and fantasies. Because this festival is about love and related to the annual meeting of Queqiao. The royal story "The Palace of Eternal Life" also looks forward to "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world".

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family eats cakes, melons and fruits to celebrate the moon. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.

Yu Dan's explanation: We eat moon cakes and parties in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but how much time do we really have with the bright moon? Who can really ask, "Who saw the moon at first sight by the river, and when did it shine on the people at the beginning of the river?"?

Chongyang climbed high on the ninth day of September to miss his loved ones and planted dogwood all over the place; Autumn is already deep, and I see the sun, although it is dazzling.

Interpretation by Yu Dan: Chongyang is a tradition of respecting the old and loving the young in China. Climbing a building is different from climbing a mountain. We spent too much time upstairs and too little time on the mountain today. Double Ninth Festival, you can take a walk and really climb the mountain.

Yu Dan (promotion guest of "Our Festival" World Heritage Application):

What is the significance of our traditional festivals? The significance is that every festival brings us back to China's poems, China's gifts and China's thoughts.

Jane Bohua (Head of the Solidarity Group of the World Heritage Application for Our Festival):

China people want to celebrate China Festival, and China Festival should have Chinese flavor!
