Dear Mike锟斤拷

In your last letter, you mentioned that you want to know something about the Spring Festival. I am writing to tell you about it.

The Spring Festival has a long history, which was originally celebrated to scare away a fierce beast "Nian". Slightly different from that in the past, it is now given new meanings and regarded as a way for people enjoy the reunion with their families however far they live or work. On the New Year’s Eve, each family has its members gathered together. They tell each other their lives in the past year exchange gifts and eat a lot of delicious meals in the warmth of the family. Children can get lucky money in red envelops. People have a good time, holding opera performances, and other celebrations.

I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival.

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear John,

Hope this letter finds you well. With regard to your last letter concerning the Lantern Festival in China, I'd like to specify the following details for you.

The Lantern Festival, falling on Jan 15th of the lunar calendar, traces back to the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Emperor Hanwu will worship the immortal beings on this particular day, hoping they will bring bliss and happiness to his reign.

Highlights of this festival include sampling delicious glutinous rice balls, appreciating boats with lanterns of all shapes and colors drifting down the big canal or guessing riddles on hanging lanterns, all of which promise an enriching visual and audio feast for every one of its celebrators.

Why not join our family in observing this special festival next year? I guarantee this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Lihua

Dear Jack,

I’m glad to learn from your email that you long for the knowledge about the Dragon Boat Festival, one of the Chinese conventional festivals.

As we know, the Dragon Boat festival falls on May 5th on the lunar calendar. So vital is the festival to people that almost everyone celebrates it in China.

Firstly, I want to tell you something about the origin of the festival. There are two main characters in the story. One is Qu Yuan and the other is Wu Zixu. Qu Yuan was not merely an extraordinary poet, but also a politician with patriotic spirit. The enemy seized the capital city of Chu Dynasty 278 B. C. And it was a contributor to Qu Yuan’s jumping into Miluo River to end his life. Afterwards, people set up the festival in order to shelter Qu Yuan’s body from being eaten by fish in the river. Another people who is worth mentioning is Wu Zixu, a renowned general. Secondly, people are accustomed to eating specific food, such as rice dumplings, salty eggs and realgar wine.

I hope that my email can be of some help to you. Moreover, I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Tom,

I’m delighted to know you take great interest in Chinese traditional festivals. The Tomb-sweeping Day is around the corner. I would like to tell you something about it.

The Tomb-sweeping Day usually falls around April 4~6 every year. With a history of more than 2500 year, it is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, but also a festival of commemoration. On the day, people clean graves锟斤拷set out offerings of food and flowers and burn paper money to offer sacrifice and honor the dead. People also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. Planting trees, flying kites and going on family outings are usually included.  

I hope you can experience it in person one day.

Yours,

Dear Tom,

I'm delighted to know you have a burning passion for traditional Chinese festivals. My favorite festival is the Chongyang Festival, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

Since nine is the largest single number, it is viewed as Senior Citizens' Day. People often do activities like going hiking and admiring flowers on this day.

As for me, I had never thought about doing anything for the elderly until I learned about the festival at school. Our teacher asked us to do a considerate thing for our grandparents. For the first time in my life, I washed my grandma’s feet. I'll never forget the sweet smile she wore and the happiness I felt.

I sincerely invite you to experience this festival in person. Looking forward to your coming.

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Donny,

How is everything going? I'm glad to study and play with you these months. With the Mid-Autumn Festival-the Chinese traditional festival around the comer, I 'd like to invite you to our family get together.  

As is known to us, this festival is one of the most important festivals in China. Family members will gather together to enjoy moon cakes as well as admire the full moon, both of which represent the unity and happiness of a family. My family plan to have a feast near the Grand Tower, a nice place to admire the beauty of the moon.

By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 4th this year. Your presence will surely add to our enjoyment. Hope to see you then!

Yours sincerely,

Dear students,

As globalization continues to progress, cultural exchange between different countries becomes more frequent and in-depth. Indeed, this process deepens communication between nations, but it also poses a threat to the existence of some countries’ traditional festivals. China, a country with a profound history and a large variety of festivals, is no exception.                    

   

The importance of traditional festivals cannot be overemphasized. Firstly, traditional festivals deepen our understanding of the profound Chinese history for they act as carriers of our culture and ideology. Secondly, not only do they inform us of core Chinese values and philosophies, but also serve as the fountain of our ethnic pride and confidence, which goes a long way to shaping our national identity and strengthening our social cohesion.

So, how can we carry forward our traditional festivals? Firstly, whenever the important festival is approaching, we young people need to make preparation for as well as become fully engaged in its rituals, customs and ceremonies. Also, we can upload photos, short videos and emojis related to our festivals on popular social media such as Tiktok and Vlog so that people’s awareness of carrying forward traditional festivals can be fully aroused.

All in all, traditional festivals should be passed down from one generation to another and for the benefit of our future generations, we young people have the inescapable responsibility to protect and carry forward them.

The Student Union

Dear Rick,

How is everything going? I had a five-day trip to London last week. I would like to express my gratitude for your hospitality and kindness when I was in London.

Knowing that you take a great fancy to Chinese culture, especially National Day, I would love to introduce it to you. National Day, one of the most significant festivals in China, falls on October1st every year. People celebrate this festival in celebration of the foundation of People’s Republic of China, the so-called New China dating back to 1949. People in China will hold a variety of activities to honor that day, such as   holding grand military parade, having a travel.

Welcome to China.You will have an unforgettable experience if you come to China before this festival.

Best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
