Primary schools must recite festival dates.

Seven traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang and other seven traditional festivals in China.

Spring Festival.

The first day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lunar New Year, is commonly known as "Chinese New Year". [3] This is the biggest and most lively traditional festival in China. The Spring Festival has a long history, which originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the beginning and end of the Shang Dynasty. According to the China lunar calendar, the first day of the first month was called Yuanri in ancient times.

Lantern Festival.

This is an important traditional festival in China. The fifteenth day of the first month is the night of the first full moon in a year and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. On the night of the Spring Festival, people celebrate it and celebrate the continuation of the Spring Festival, so it is also called "Shangyuan Festival", that is, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Tomb-Sweeping Day.

The most important festival in China is the most suitable day to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave-sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave and offering sacrifices to the dead. Most Han people and some ethnic minorities visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Dragon Boat Festival.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is an ancient traditional festival in China. The real name of "Dragon Boat Festival" is "Dragon Boat Festival", which means the beginning. Because people think that May is an evil month and the fifth day is an evil day, they avoid May and change it to Dragon Boat Festival.

Valentine's Day in China.

The evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is called "Qixi". China folk legend Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet tonight at the Tianhe Magpie Bridge. The real name of Tanabata is the Beggar's Day, which means to thread a needle with colored thread in front of a weaver girl in the moonlight. It would be a "coincidence" if you could pass through seven pinholes of different sizes.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

August 15th of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In the evening, the full moon in Gui Xiang is regarded as a symbol of happy reunion by the old customs. This is a festival to prepare all kinds of fruits and cooked food to enjoy the moon. Eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Double Ninth Festival

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival, also called "Old People's Day". Because the Book of Changes defines "six" as the yin number and "nine" as the yang number, on September 9, the sun and the moon are combined with yang, and 29 is the most important, so it is called Chongyang, also known as Jiujiu.

Solstice of winter.

In ancient China, people attached great importance to the winter solstice and thought it was a grand festival. There is a saying that the winter solstice is as big as a year, and there is a custom to celebrate it.
