festive day in china

what  made me want to research more about all the different types of festivals that are held in china is really finding out about it while researching my previous topic which was about culture and cuisine in china and why I  chose it was I wanted to do something that I could really put out a lot of information about and frankly there was not enough information on cuisine to do that but I knew that in china they had a lot of different types of festivals and I could do a lot with that my pal named amber really didn't mention a lot about it in her letter or her responses back to me so I have two secondary sources about festivals.

Festivals is a huge in china it is a reminder of the sacrifice and honor of the Chinese people and I think that is an amazing thing to do for the people it shows that what the people do matter and they are not forgotten about by the government, an example of a festival is the dragon boat festival it is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month, it is celebrated because a famous poet committed suicide by throwing himself in the river as a protest so dragon boat is a way to remember the heroicness and the life and death of famous Chinese scholars. this is one of many different types of festivals in china and they race boats and eat rice and dumplings and to cherish the man who this day is all  about http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/Festivals/78316.htm, http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/china/dragon-boat-festival,

my opinion on all of these is I agree I think it is a good thing what they are doing for the people it really shows they care about the people and want to give back but it also shows what the people will do as one if they are mistreated and that shows a lot it self.so I think we should have festivals in America and should take on some of the Chinese customs as a whole.
