Flying kites is also an important custom during the festival. In the past, people would cut the string to let a kite fly freely. It’s believed that doing so brings good luck and even keeps people away from illnesses.
No celebration is complete without delicious food. With this in mind, sweet green rice balls are a popular dish to eat during the festival. They are made of a mixture of glutinous rice powder (糯米粉) and green vegetable juice with something sweet in them.
Ever since ancient times, Chinese people have had the custom of going for an outing during the festival. With the development of the society, the festival has become a popular tourism holiday for spring outings and flower viewing.
This year, people across China enjoyed a three-day public holiday during the festival. Many people booked on the Internet before the holiday.

(24-25九年级上·四川广安·阶段练习)In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional (额外的) gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor. The days after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted. Then the money was used for helping the poor in the area.
Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts. They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人) were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating (捐赠) them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations (组织) like the Red Cross.
No matter how Boxing Day got its start, it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people. By doing so, you can make someone’s holiday much happier.

(24-25九年级上·安徽阜阳·阶段练习)The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar. This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty 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 in 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, a famous person’s name or a place name.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic (浪漫的). Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other.

(2025·江西九江·三模)The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. It always falls on the second day of the second lunar month. The name means “dragon raising its head”, carrying a sense of hope.

It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from hibernation (冬眠) and lift his head. It marks the start of the busy farming season.
