What festivals are there in summer?

Traditional festivals in China include Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Valentine's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in summer.

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also called Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival and May Festival. "Dragon Boat Festival" is one of the national legal holidays in China, and has been included in the world intangible cultural heritage list. Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a festival for China people to get rid of diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Wuyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan died on this day, it became a traditional festival for the Han people in China to commemorate Qu Yuan. In some areas, Wu Zixu and Cao E are also commemorated.

China Valentine's Day, also known as Begging for Clevership Festival, Seven Clever Days or Seven Sisters's Birthday, originated in China. It is a traditional festival in China and some East Asian countries influenced by Chinese culture. On the night of the seventh or sixth day of the seventh lunar month, women seek wisdom from the weaver girl in the courtyard, so they call it "seeking cleverness". It originated from the worship of nature and women's needlework, and was later endowed with the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, making it a festival symbolizing love. On May 20th, 2006, China Valentine's Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council, and now it is considered as "Valentine's Day in China".

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as "July Festival" or "Orchid Festival", is one of the three major ghost festivals. Mid-Autumn Festival is a Taoist saying. The name "Mid-Autumn Festival" originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. In some places, it is usually called "Ghost Festival" and "Stone Drum", also known as the Day of the Dead and July 30th. According to ancient records: "The Taoist scriptures are Shang Yuan on the 15th day of the first month, Zhong Yuan on the 15th of July, and Xia Yuan on the 15th of October.
