The Mid-autumn Festival is an important traditional fete day. It is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Whenever the day is drawing near, families in China begin to get ready to celebrate it. They are busy preparing moon cakes and fruits. On the night, people stay out of doors sitting to appreciate the round, clear and bright moon over the sky, while eating watermelons, fruits and moon cakes.

Dragon boat festival is another chinese traditional feast day. It is said that Quyuan, a great poet in ancient China, took his own life in the Miluojiang River on that day. In honour of his illustrious life, people throw Zongzi, glutinous rice dumpling, into rivers to keep him from fishes to avoid being licked up. Besides, when the festival comes, it is already early summer, so families hang mugworts over the doorhead and drink yellow wine to git rid of diseases.

Chinese New Year is on the ist day of the the first month of the lunar year. When the festival comes, it declears the beginning of another year. Because it is around the solar turn, the Beginning of Spring, we call it Spring festivals. It is the most momentous of all the festivals in our country. The whole nation spend almost half a month joyfully celebrating the duration. They fire skyrockets, stick festival scrolls, pay New Year calls for one another and hold all kinds of festivities.
