Lunar Festivals
Lunar Festivals are celebrations that occur based on the lunar calendar, which is determined by the phases of the moon. These festivals are significant in various cultures, particularly in East Asia, where they mark important agricultural events, seasonal changes, and family reunions. The most well-known Lunar Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated with mooncakes and lanterns.
Another prominent Lunar Festival is the Chinese New Year, which signifies the start of a new lunar year. This festival includes traditions such as family gatherings, fireworks, and dragon dances. Lunar Festivals often emphasize themes of renewal, gratitude, and community bonding.
