| Publisher Description: This book introduces the reader to the folktales behind Chinese traditional festivals and reveals the fascinating origins of their intricate rituals. Some festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-autumn Festival are probably familiar to the reader. Other equally interesting festivals are the so-called "Chinese Valentine's Day" and the Festival of Flowers. This book includes twelve Chinese Traditional Festivals, each complete with its historical background, origin, past and present activities, and other pertinent information. With the growing interest in Chinese culture, this book is a valuable resource for expanding the reader's knowledge beyond the names of the festivals. |
