New Year's Day: the "New Year" commonly known in most countries in the world is the first day of the new year in the Gregorian calendar. In China, New Year's Day always refers to the first day of the first month of the agricultural calendar. The calculation method of the first day of the first month was also very inconsistent before the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the new year's day of the past dynasties is not consistent.

Spring Festival: It is the first day of the first lunar month, also known as the lunar year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". This is the most grand and lively traditional festival among Chinese people. The Spring Festival has a long history, which originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors at the beginning and end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Tomb-Sweeping Day: Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called the Youth Day, which is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, the 18th day after the winter solstice. It is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most important festivals for offering sacrifices to ancestors and sweeping graves.

Labor Day: International Labor Day, also known as May Day International Labor Day and Labor Day, is the labor day of most countries in the world. The festival originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA. In order to commemorate this great workers' movement, it was announced at the Second International Founding Conference in 1889 that May 1st of each year would be designated as International Labor Day.

Dragon Boat Festival: Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. According to the Records of Jingchu's Years, it is recorded that it is midsummer when the sun is on the mountain in midsummer, and it is midsummer in May. Its first afternoon is the day when it is sunny to climb the mountain in the sun, so the fifth day of May is also called "Duanyang Festival".
