The difference between traditional folk festivals and statutory festivals

Folk traditional festivals and statutory festivals are two concepts that are both related and different.

Generally speaking, there may be many festivals in a country, but not all of them can become festivals. When a festival has great historical background and profound cultural connotation for a country or a nation, and there are important celebrations arranged by the government and the people, it may become a national legal festival. National legal holidays are holidays first and then holidays, which are determined by national laws and regulations.

At present, legal holidays around the world can be roughly divided into three categories: first, political holidays, such as National Day and War Day; Second, religious festivals, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving; Third, traditional festivals, or folk festivals, such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Generally speaking, the legal holidays in most countries are mainly distributed in festivals and anniversaries with long historical traditions, far-reaching religious influence and major historical events, and the time distribution is relatively scattered. A holiday usually takes one day off, and most countries generally have no more than one day off in a year.
