Hi, everyone! I'm Pedro, a new student here in China. Can you tell me something about your festivals? |
Dragon Boat Festival is called Duanwu Jie in Chinese. It's usually in June. People celebrate(庆祝) the day to remember the famous poet Qu Yuan. Dragon boat racing is a part of the holiday now. People always watch dragon boat races and eat zongzi. Zongzi is made of rice and wrapped in bamboo leaves. So interesting! |
Mid-Autumn Day is a special holiday for many people in China. It often comes in September or October. On that day, the whole family members get together and have a big dinner. After dinner they enjoy the full moon and tell stories about Chang'e. And they eat mooncakes too. What a lot of fun! |
Spring Festival is also called Chinese New Year. It's usually in February, sometimes it's in January. On New Year's eve, all family get together to have a big dinner. On New Year's day, people always eat dumplings, wear new clothes, visit grandparents and friends. They say "Happy New Year" to each other. Children can get lucky money. How happy! |
