How to understand the development and evolution of festival customs is a process of historical and cultural accumulation.

The development and evolution of festival customs is a process of historical and cultural accumulation. Social, political, economic, cultural and many other factors are at work. One is the embedding of myths and legends. The origin of festival customs is the worship of primitive beliefs in ancient times. With the continuous development of people's understanding of nature, primitive beliefs gradually weaken. We must reinterpret the "why" of the people. It is possible to continue to exist and develop under new conditions. Han Dynasty is a very active era of historical legends, and various ancient myths and legends are widely circulated, which brings new opportunities for reinterpreting folk customs, such as Mid-Autumn Festival. Secondly, the participation and advocacy of the upper rulers. Generally speaking, holiday customs are mostly formed by folk customs. But under special circumstances, it can directly promote the development and evolution of folk customs. For example, Lantern Festival. The third is the accumulation of people's historical feelings in holiday customs. Legends of historical figures are often an artistic expression of the general public's view of history. Modern festivals refer to festivals that only came into being in modern times. Fundamentally speaking, modern festivals cannot be regarded as traditional festivals, because the formation of most modern festivals has little to do with agricultural production. Most of these new festivals are commemorative activities to meet the needs of modern life or formed under a certain historical background.
