Cheering, dancing and singing, local people and tourists gathered around the fire during the Torch Festival of the Yi People in Guizhou, on Aug 12. The festival was listed     1     a national intangible cultural heritage in 2011. Though there are many descriptions of the origin of the festival, it     2     (most) relates to the natural worship (崇拜) of fire. For the early Yi people     3     (live) in mountainous areas, fire was essential to light, warm, and cook food. There was     4     old practice: Before bringing animal meat into the home, a small fire must first be lit outside the door and the meat should     5     (smoke) on the fire to drive away unpleasant things. That’s why the Yi people say, “Everything you eat must ‘see fire’.” In farming, they used to light piles of branches and     6     (leaf) and bury them in the ground later, using them     7     (fertilize) the land. The Yi people used to celebrate the festival as a way to pray for a good harvest and to drive away bad things from     8     (they) homes and farmland. So far, it     9     (become) a social event through which the Yi people not only share their joy and thanks for their good life,     10     get more people to understand their lifestyle and traditions.

Qingming Festival

Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox, round April 4 or April 5 every year. People will go to worship their ancestors.     2    , so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival. In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.

Double Ninth Festival

    3    . The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. That day people in different regions eat different food.

If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we go to places of an interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea.
