We need to nurture festival spirit

Chinese people celebrate a lot of festivals, most of which take place on important dates in the Chinese lunar calendar.

Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, with a week of official public holiday, is China's most important traditional festival. Then there are other well-known festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and Qingming Festival.

Guo Wenbin, a cultural critic, believes that traditional festivals, as a key part of Chinese culture and Chinese identity, have modern significance by helping to enhance people's happiness and social harmony.
