The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar(阴历).This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty(朝代) and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.
Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character(汉字), a famous person's name, or a place name.
The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this：
Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned, and there she stood, in the dim(昏暗的) light.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also often known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional holiday in China. On this special day, people will eat zongzi， drink realgar wine(雄黄酒) and race dragon boats.
The story best known in China is that the festival commemorates(纪念) the death of Qu Yuan. He was a minister(大臣) of the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period of the Zhou Dynasty. 1 However, he was punished for opposing the alliance(联盟) between Chu and Qin. Twenty- eight years later, he heard that his country was occupied(占领) by Qin. 2
It is said that the local people, who admired him, raced out in their boats to save him 3 When his body could not be found, they dropped rice into the river. 4 This is said to be the origin(起源) of zongzi. 5 However, the People's Republic of China government did not officially recognize(承认) Duanwu as a public holiday.
Beginning in 2005, the government began to plan for the recognition of three traditional holidays, including Duanwu. Since 2008, Duanwu has been celebrated not only as a festival but also a public holiday.
