Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Autumn Festival, August Festival, or Reunion Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. This year, the festival coincided with the holiday, allowing me to celebrate it at home. In ancient times, officials and businessmen would engage in three activities to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival: eating crabs from Yangcheng Lake, enjoying mooncakes, and admiring the moon and chrysanthemums. With the rapid improvement in living standards, every family would have a sumptuous dinner during this festival. I was fortunate enough to eat the crab from Yangcheng Lake and celebrated as if I were an ancient person. After dinner, my mother would light red and round lanterns, wishing our family safety and blessings. At night, the moon is usually round and bright, and we would enjoy the moon while eating mooncakes, which are the special food for this festival. We reflected on the past and looked forward to the future together. My dream is for the fatherland to reunite at an early date, and as I watched the Mid-Autumn evening, I thought of the people in Taiwan. The mood of the Mid-Autumn Festival takes my mind away.

Spring Festival

The Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, is actually the Chinese New Year. Before the festival, people usually give their houses a thorough cleaning and do a lot of shopping. On New Year's Eve, the whole family comes home for a big dinner together. During the New Year's Day and the following few days, people often visit relatives and friends to exchange best wishes for the new year. Throughout this festival period, firecrackers can be heard everywhere. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese.

Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival, often known as the Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar. This festival is celebrated to commemorate Qu Yuan, a famous poet in ancient China. People often participate in dragon boat races and eat zongzi, a kind of rice dumpling filled with meat or vegetables. The festival also features dragon boat races, which are exciting and colorful events.

Other Traditional Festivals

China has many other traditional festivals with interesting origins and customs. For example, the Lantern Festival, which falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is celebrated with the display of various lanterns and fireworks. The Qixi Festival, also known as the Double Seventh Festival, is a celebration of love and romance, where young people pray for a successful romantic relationship.

These festivals reflect the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Chinese nation, showcasing the country's diverse customs and celebrations.
