This book discusses the most creative and entertaining events of Chinese festivals that have been celebrated with traditional and updated activities. Most ethnic groups are considered through the select materials that contain textual or visual messages for international readers. Related folk traditions and customs are often introduced to provide information for understanding the continuity, polarity and pluralism of Chinese culture. These focuses are presented with historical documents and collected artworks that are helpful for the academic studies of ethnic tradition and fine arts. In addition, relevant poems are selected and rendered into comparable English poetic stanzas. For authenticity, pinyin with tone accompanies most culture-specific words or texts, and this book may be especially helpful for teachers and students of the Chinese language or those who want to speak or write it naturally.
