Festivals

From Laba to Lantern Festival, and on to Flower Festival and Dragon Boat, festivals give the year its rhythm.

Suggested structure

• Overview: origins, timing, regional variations
• Ritual actions: honoring ancestors, blessings, renewal, farewells
• Symbols and foods: New Year prints, lanterns, zongzi, reunion meals

Pair each festival with a simple “ritual map” to explain steps visually.
