Chinese culture and heritage is rich and runs across a time frame of five thousand years. It was during this time that a variety of unique and varied celebrations began to grow roots. Despite China’s many changes Chinese festivals are deeply rooted in popular tradition. China amasses a vast area and consists of a number of ethnic groups that all come together as part of a vibrant cultural experience. Some of these festivals have developed into popular celebrations that are not only practiced in China, but also in many Chinese communities throughout the world. Much of the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity yet remain firmly established as part of the country’s vibrant culture. Over the years much of the festivals have evolved with the changes in the development of the Chinese civilization and as a consequence have become an integral part of the Chinese culture. As with time’s progression and the advent of science, technology and rapid globalisation many Chinese are no longer able to tell how their festivals originated which has in turn seen the gradual shedding of ethnic traditions for modern and universal ways. This is especially true of Chinese communities outside their homeland.

Exploring Traditional Chinese Festivals in China traces the history and development of various festivals celebrated in China. Many of these festivals have evolved into modern variations practiced in parts of China today. Some of these festivals have developed into popular celebrations that are not only practiced in China, but also in many Chinese communities throughout the world. Drawing from archaeology, historical records, classical literature, and folklore, this book explores the development of some of these festivals in primitive to civilized societies, and the beliefs underlying the customs and taboos revolving around the preparation and celebration of festivals in China. This book presents readers with insights into the romantic charm of China's culture and encourages people of Chinese origin to cherish their invaluable cultural heritage. Exploring Traditional Chinese Festivals in China is one in a series of three titles. The other books in the series are Exploring Feng Shui and Exploring Traditional Marriage Customs in China.

To broom is to respect superstition; to bless is to worship the ancestors; to braise is to release the aroma of savory herbs and draw the whole family together. Crafted by a young Asian-American who dips her dumplings in ketchup, this book takes a deep look at Chinese holiday customs, revealing the tension between their often patriarchal or imperial origins and the joyful populism of their actual celebration. The energetic narration will take you from the quiet page to the noisy bustle of the dragon boat race. Chapter by chapter, the volume describes the customs, legends, and dishes of each of the eight traditional Chinese holidays-the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Qingming Festival, the Dragonboat Festival, the Qixi Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double-Ninth Festival, and the Winter Solstice-exploring the ways in which they have evolved over time and diverged across geographical regions. The holidays also serve as a lens through which to study broader Chinese culture, the arc of China's historical periods, and the culture's most ingrained societal values.
