Dear Mike,
I’ve learned of your letter that you want to know about the Double Seventh Festival. Now I’m writing to tell you about it.
The Double Seventh Festival, also know as the Qiqiao Festival, is the most romantic traditional Chinese festival. It falls annual on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. The festival came from a ancient Chinese romantic fairy tale about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who has deeply moved generation of Chinese people. Many men and women in the love usually pray for a happy marriage on that night, hoping for a happy ending to his true love. Today, many young couples in China celebrate the Double Seventh Festival in Chinese Valentine’s Day.
I hope my explanation can make you understood our traditional festivals and cultures better.
Yours,
Li Hua
The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls in the 15th of the 8th month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festival, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usual, no matter what far away or how busy we are, we will try to go to home for the celebration. The moon that night looked the brightest in the whole lunar month. That we love most is the time we appreciate the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat mooncakes and fruit, share our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have wide range of choices such as travel and visiting our relatives or friends.
Dear John,
In your letter, you asked me about traditionally Chinese festivals. Now I would like to tell you something about the most important festival in China- the Spring Festival.
Few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are stick. We put on our fancy clothes and setted off firecrackers during the festival. Beside, presents and big dinners are prepared for to celebrate the happy reunion of family and relative. They have dumplings and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala on Lunar New Year’s Eve. Customs may vary from place to place, and the same happy atmosphere is to be found anywhere in the country.
Now, I hope you have some idea of our Spring Festival.
Yours,
Li Hua
