Some festivals come from the commemoration of someone or an event, such as National Day and Youth Day. There are also days designated by campaigns advocated by international organizations, such as Labor Day, Women's Day and Mother's Day. With the passage of time, the connotation and celebration methods of festivals are also changing.
Development cycle:
As far as festival customs are concerned, many festival elements have sprouted as early as ancient times. Chinese civilization originated from farming civilization. People "respect heaven and do things" and arrange production and life according to the rise and fall of the sun and the moon and the changes of seasons. Therefore, most traditional festivals in China are related to solar terms, which indicate the time scale of human life.
Most traditional festivals were formed in ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, due to the different customs between the north and the south, the customs between the north and the south were not integrated and popularized, and many ancient festivals and customs were rarely recorded in literary works.
Heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars are closely related to agricultural production and harvest. The ancestors worshipped nature, prayed for good weather with sacrificial activities and thanked the gifts given by nature, which gradually developed into a festival with a fixed time.
