If I had to describe a traditional festival, I would choose to speak about the Spring Festival. This festival is on the first day of the Chinese New Year. That is to say, that it is the start of a vacation for lots of people. The vacation will often last for 10 or 15 days. There are several reasons as for why I like the Spring Festival.

Festivals and Celebrations
Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.
