The original motive for the creation of holiday customs is

The original motivation for festival customs is the hope for a good life.

People relied on the changes in the sky to organize their production and life at a very early stage. From the changes in the weather brought about by the changes in the sky, such as the phenomena of the growth, maturity, and decay of plants, as well as the changes in the climate, such as the changes in the temperature during the four seasons, they summed up a certain amount of experience in order to arrange for their own labor, i.e., picking and planting, and so on.

People also determined their rest according to such natural changes, arranging some special days, both as a meeting point of the seasons and as special days for celebrations or rituals, thus forming festivals in our later sense.

These festivals include the Spring Festival (the timing of which was variable in the early days), Lichun, Lixia, the Winter Solstice, February 2, Shangsi, Qingming, June 6, July 7, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Traditional Chinese Festivals:

Traditional Chinese festivals mainly include: Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Head Raising, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chung Yeung Festival, Winter Solstice Festival, and New Year's Eve. In each festival, a variety of unique customs have been formed.

1, the Spring Festival is the Chinese nation's grandest traditional festival, folk commonly known as "New Year", originated in the ancient agricultural rituals, "year" of the original meaning of crop maturity, formed in the Han Dynasty, which is closely related to the completion of the calendar. In September 1949, the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference officially stipulated that the first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar called "New Year's Day", the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar called "Spring Festival".

2, the Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty, stereotyped in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, prevalent after the Song Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of the seasonal customs of autumn, most of which have ancient origins. The Mid-Autumn Festival has become a colorful and invaluable cultural heritage, with the fullness of the moon signifying the reunion of people, in order to send thoughts of the hometown and relatives, and to pray for a good harvest and happiness.

3. Qingming Festival is the most important festival of worship in China. Since ancient times, people have been honoring their ancestors, the concept of rituals and customs, so the Qingming Festival gradually formed the tradition of spring festival.
