1, Introduction to the Spring Festival Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". This is the biggest and most lively traditional festival in China. The history of the Spring Festival is very long. The origin of the Spring Festival is based on primitive beliefs, calendars and other humanistic and natural cultural factors, as well as the remains of later festivals and customs. It evolved from the sacrificial activities at the beginning of ancient times. In China, the first day of the first lunar month is called Yuanri, Chenyuan, Jacky, Yuanshuo, New Year's Day, Lunar New Year, Xinzheng and Shouzuo. It was changed to Gregorian calendar in the Republic of China. January 1st of the solar calendar is called New Year's Day, and January 1st of the lunar calendar is called Spring Festival. 2. Introduction to Tomb-Sweeping Day Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most important sacrificial festivals. This is the day to visit the graves and worship the ancestors. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancient Spring Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi provides important conditions for the formation of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs in terms of time and meteorological phenology, and this solar term is considered as one of the origins of Tomb-Sweeping Day. According to the solar calendar, Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival, is a season of beautiful spring and lush vegetation, and it is also a good time for people to go for an outing in spring. The name of Tomb-Sweeping Day is related to the weather and climate characteristics at this time. The Western Han Dynasty's "Huainanzi Astronomical Training" said: "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to B, and the Qingming wind is coming." 3. Introduction to Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Festival is the oldest traditional festival of the Chinese nation, which evolved from the dragon totem sacrifice held by ancient Vietnamese in the afternoon (dry calendar). According to more than 100 kinds of ancient book records listed in Wen Yiduo's "Dragon Boat Festival Examination and Dragon Boat Festival History Education" and archaeological research by experts, the origin of Dragon Boat Festival is a totem festival held by ancient Vietnamese in southern China, which is earlier than Qu Yuan. The Dragon Boat Festival is not a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, but some customs after the Dragon Boat Festival are influenced by Qu Yuan. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, in order to strengthen social control, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the addition of temples to the sacrificial ceremony. Qu Yuan was named Zhao and officially enjoyed the official fireworks once a year in spring and autumn. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the official time for offering sacrifices to Qu Yuan began at the Dragon Boat Festival, and in the Song Dynasty, Qu Yuan was named loyal and clear marquis. When Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial edict was "May 5th" to sacrifice Qu Yuan. Encouraged by the imperial power, Qu Yuan's influence gradually surpassed that of Wu Zixu and Cao E and became the representative of the Dragon Boat Festival. Previously, all kinds of folk customs were naturally related to Qu Yuan. 4. Introduction to Mid-Autumn Festival Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of heaven and the harvest festival. The word "autumn" is interpreted as "autumn when crops are ripe" In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, crops and various fruits are maturing one after another. In order to celebrate the harvest and express the happy mood, the Mid-Autumn Festival is regarded as a festival. Legend has it that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to overthrow the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the broad masses of the people wrote the date of the uprising on a piece of paper, put it in the stuffing of moon cakes, and secretly passed it on to each other, calling on everyone to revolt on August 15. Finally, a nationwide peasant uprising broke out on this day and overthrew the decadent Yuan Dynasty. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival has spread more widely. 5. Introduction to National Day People's Republic of China (PRC) National Day is also known as the Eleventh National Day, National Day, National Day, China National Day and National Day Golden Week. The Central People's Government announced that from 1950, 65438+ 10/0/day every year is the day when People's Republic of China (PRC) was proclaimed as a national day. It is the symbol of the country, and it appears with the founding of New China, which becomes particularly important. It has become a symbol of an independent country, reflecting China's national system and polity. National Day is a new form of national festival, which embodies the cohesion of the country and the nation. At the same time, the large-scale celebration of the National Day is also a concrete manifestation of the government's mobilization and call. Showing national strength, enhancing national self-confidence, embodying cohesion and exerting appeal are the three basic characteristics of National Day celebrations.
