| China Festivals |
|
 The formation of traditional festivals is a long process of historical and cultural accumulation in China. Traditional Chinese festival activities always reflect primitive sacrifice, superstitious taboo and earthly life, people's spirit and religious influence. Moreover, they were often connected with ancient astronomy, calendars and mathematics.
As China has a vast land and many ethnic groups, different ethnic groups have different festivals in different places. Even on the same festival, they follow different customs. Besides, some festivals and customs we still follow today, but others disappeared into the mists of time. Here we introduce some important and commonly celebrated festivals.
