China Discovery - Festivals - Chinese Festivals Intro
China, a large country with 1.3 billion people boasts a long history and glorious culture. Festivals in particular, embody Chinese culture on the one hand and enrich people's lives greatly on the other.
Because of China's very ancient history, her festivals are numerous. They can be divided into many categories, of which the following are the four major ones: Traditional Festivals are a reflection of the Chinese traditional practices and morality of the people; Public Festivals are those designated as such by the Chinese government to commemorate some special events; Ethnic Minority Festivals are unique to the Chinese minority ethnic groups; and the tourism festivals are associated with renowned Chinese scenic spots. No matter what the kind of festival, it is a window through which Chinese culture can be seen vividly and thoroughly.
