Wherever there are China people in the world, this festival is celebrated. No matter how far away from home, no matter where you go, you must go back to your mother on this day. For this day, every household should clean up early, buy new year's goods in stick grilles, put up couplets, set off firecrackers, wear new clothes, eat jiaozi, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and have a smooth sailing.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival. Summer sowing is sown in spring, and people reap in autumn. This season, the autumn is crisp, the grain is abundant, the fruits are fragrant, people have worked for a year, and the harvest is in sight. Therefore, every household makes, eats and enjoys moon cakes, which symbolizes the reunion of the whole year.

In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival was handed down in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan, a poet, was dissatisfied with the court being demoted to Chu River at that time. Feeling that the future was bleak, the poet threw himself into the river on the fifth day of May. In memory of him, local people make dumplings and eat zongzi on this day every year, and dragon boat races are held in some places. In life, we can feel the rich and colorful traditional culture of China everywhere. These traditional things are the treasures of the motherland and need to be passed down from generation to generation.
