Spring Festival
I’m the most important holiday in China. I always come on the eve of the lunar(农历 )New Year and go on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Colorful lanterns and delicious yuanxiao are my favorites. I’ve got two names, both of which express my wish for good fortune, happiness and health.
Lantern Festival
Valentine’s Day

I’m kind of sad not that
it is rainy, but that
people remember their
dead relatives and visit
their graves on my
birthday.
Tomb-sweeping Day
Dragon Boat FestivalLove the great poet Qu Yuan, love me. People eat rice dumplings and watch boat races in memory of Qu Yuan.
Christmas DayDecember 25 is my
