Some people think food is part of the holidays. However, different people hold different views(观点). Here are some ideas taken fromWeChat.
Liao: I think there is a really close connection(联系) between festivals and food. My dad is a businessman. He travels on business a lot.He even has to travel during holidays, like Mid-Autumn Festival. But he once told me that as long as he can eat my mom's homemade mooncakes,he can feel like he's at home with us.
Zhang: Eating mooncakes during Mid-Autumn Festival drives me crazy! I really don't like the taste of mooncakes,but Mom forces(强迫)me to eat them every year. But as I eat more mooncakes, I start to hate the holiday! This holiday should be held to celebrate some special person or event,not a food. I don't want this tasteless food to ruin(毁坏) my holiday anymore.
Chen: In my opinion, eating traditional food during holidays is part of our culture. I remember one time during Lantern Festival, my parents were too busy to bring home any sweet dumplings. Although we still lit up our rabbit lantern that night, I still felt like we didn't completely celebrate the festival, since we didn't have any dumplings.
Yuan: In the past, people would usually save precious(珍贵的) food for special days. But now, we can eat it whenever we want. I don't think it is important to eat traditional food during holidays anymore. We can still do some other things to celebrate, such as watching the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival or remembering Qu Yuan during Dragon Boat Festival.

Father's Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother's Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day. Father's Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers(店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though some have Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular. Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do -buy a Father's Day present for their fathers. They even tell a wife to buy a Father's Day present--not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not a father yet. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.
The most important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

Weeks before Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 4th this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day. The snack was still a must-have for many people.
In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition. Chinese people started to eat it more than 2,000 years ago. It is made of sticky rice (糯米) and red bean paste(红豆沙) and is famous for its softness, freshness and sweetness. The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials -mugwort leaves(艾蒿叶). The plant is mainly found in the Yangtze River Delta(长江三角洲) where it has perfect conditions to grow.
People in this area usually put qingtuan on the tombs(墓) of their dead family members to cherish the past memory. Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home. It really takes time and effort to make the snack.
Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the northern part of China. Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works. "It tastes different in and out of my hometown, he said. "There's no place like home."
Qingtuan has many different tastes inside it, such as apples and bean milk, to meet customers' tastes. The difference of the taste shows that it's getting more and more popular across the whole country.
Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn't be complete without a taste of qingtuan.
