Chinese cultural festivals

Chinese cultural festivals are vibrant celebrations that reflect the rich traditions and history of China. Notable festivals include the Lunar New Year, marked by family reunions, feasting, and lion dances; the Mid-Autumn Festival, where families appreciate the moon and enjoy mooncakes; and the Dragon Boat Festival, featuring boat races and the consumption of zongzi (sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves). These festivals often involve rituals, performances, and communal activities, emphasizing values like family, gratitude, and cultural heritage. They are an essential part of Chinese identity, celebrated both domestically and by Chinese communities worldwide.
