I like articles about traditional festivals in China.

These days, I have finished reading the book Our Festivals with great interest, and I know the origins of many festivals and their cultures. This book introduces us to the origins and customs of traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival. It is not difficult to see that the national spirit that runs through these festivals is to cultivate righteousness, promote morality, show wisdom, punish evil and promote good. This is the cultural essence of the Chinese nation, and it is also the content that we need to inherit and carry forward. From traditional festivals, I deeply understand and appreciate the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Let's talk about the Spring Festival first. It is the biggest and most lively national traditional festival in China. I like the Spring Festival, because there are always Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures and window grilles, firecrackers and fireworks, and New Year wishes ... We paste the word "Fu" upside down, get lucky money, wrap jiaozi and eat rice cakes ... On the night before the Spring Festival, we all "stand guard". Besides eating New Year's Eve, people also play various games, such as playing chess, cards, mahjong and watching the Spring Festival party. In festival offerings, there must be a big plate of apples, which is called "peace". In some places, the pastry food prepared for the birthday celebration is full of auspicious homophonic and colloquial colors: eating dates represents early spring, eating persimmons represents all the best, eating almonds represents happiness, eating longevity fruit represents immortality, and eating rice cakes represents old age. How interesting and meaningful all this is. These customs show the wisdom of China people and represent our long-standing national culture. I am also proud of the birth of these customs. Let's talk about Mid-Autumn Festival. "Mid-Autumn Festival", also known as "Moon Festival", falls on August 15 of the lunar calendar and has a long history. As early as Zhou Li, the word Mid-Autumn Festival was recorded. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will hold a ceremony to admire and sacrifice the moon. Mid-Autumn Festival has begun to take shape in this period. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the moon was still appreciated. When the full moon rises, almost every household puts moon cakes and all kinds of fruits in the yard and balcony, and chats while enjoying the moon. The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival has been passed down to this day. Look, under the moonlight, people taste moon cakes in their own yards and enjoy the moonlight. We children all take moon cakes to shine on the moon, and compare which one is rounder, fearing that the moon will eat it. It was really enjoyable. A festival, like a story, has a wonderful and moving plot; Festivals are a kind of culture with rich and colorful contents. Faced with the impact of many westernized festival cultures, I hope we can inherit more traditional China culture and celebrate festivals with local characteristics in China. The traditional festivals in China are like a Chinese cabbage, which is always unforgettable in the cold winter. Foreign festivals are like vegetables in the wrong season now. Although they are fresh, they are not in the right season. Traditional festivals in China are still grand in rural areas, because people in China pay more attention to their own festivals. On such festivals, they should go home, reunite with their parents, brothers and sisters, and feel the affection between the people. Foreigners' festivals are reflected in the actions and popularity of the city, because some people in China do not really understand the meaning of foreign festivals and blindly follow the trend. This kind of festival is to join in the fun, to see the rare, to find excitement. We should respect our traditional festivals, whether mummies or living people. Actually, there is no need for such an image. Everyone has his own way of living, and everyone has his own preferences! I love the traditional festivals in China, and I love the traditional culture in China!
