The Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are all traditional festivals in China.

National Day is not a traditional holiday, but a statutory holiday.

1. The traditional Chinese festivals mainly include the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month), the Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month), the Dragon Raising Its Head (February 2), the Sheri Festival (February 2), the Qingming Festival (around April 5 of the Gregorian calendar), the Dragon Boat Festival (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month), the Qixi Festival (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month), the half of July (the 14th and 15th of the seventh month of the lunar calendar), the Mid-Autumn Festival (the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar), the Chongyang Festival (the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar), the Winter Solstice Festival (December 21 and 23 of the Kaishu Gregorian calendar), and the Chinese New Year's Eve (the last day of the year).

On December 2, the fourth meeting of the People's Committee accepted the proposal of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and adopted the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China", deciding that October 1 of each year is the great day for the founding of the People's Republic of China and the National Day of the People's Republic of China.

First of all, from a cultural point of view, the 24 solar terms are indeed a unique Chinese calendar, which reflects the observation and summary of natural laws by Chinese, and also contains many traditional customs and folk activities. If the holiday is carried out according to the 24 solar terms, people can pay more attention to and participate in these cultural activities, and enhance the sense of identity and inheritance of national culture.

Secondly, from the perspective of health, the 24 solar terms are also a way of health preservation, which guides people to adjust their diet, daily life, exercise and other aspects according to seasonal changes, so as to achieve physical and mental balance and prevent disease and skin disease. If the holiday is taken according to the 24 solar terms, it can make people pay more attention to their physical condition and health needs, and improve their quality of life and happiness.

Finally, from an economic point of view, the 24 solar terms are also a consumption opportunity, which can create more tourism, catering, entertainment and other formats, and drive the development of related industries and create new peace talks. If the holiday is carried out according to the 24 solar terms, it can allow people to arrange their leisure time and consumption patterns more flexibly and diversely, and promote market vitality and social prosperity.

To sum up, Yu Minhong suggested that the 24 solar terms holiday is an idea that is beneficial to culture, health and the economy. Of course, there are many practical issues to consider in order to realize this proposal, such as how to coordinate the work arrangements of various industries, how to avoid traffic congestion and tourist congestion, and how to ensure public services and social safety. These problems require the joint efforts and cooperation of enterprises, society and individuals to solve.

We look forward to the day when we can truly enjoy the beautiful life brought by the 24 solar terms.

Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals are all traditional festivals with a long historical origin, profound cultural connotation and rich folk activities, and are widely valued by the masses of the people.

1) Qingming Festival is not only a festival for the people to pay tribute to their ancestors and remember their ancestors, but also a spring ritual for hiking, getting close to nature, and urging new life.

2) The Dragon Boat Festival not only has the meaning of welcoming the hot summer and preventing diseases, and the customs of inserting wormwood and incense, but also has the meaning of sacrificing the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan and the customs of eating zongzi and dragon boat racing, which is conducive to carrying forward the spirit of patriotism.

3) During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people associate the full moon with reunion, and the reunion of relatives and friends has become the most important theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon cakes symbolizing reunion are the most important gifts of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because the festivals of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have rich cultural connotations and folk activities, they are also national festivals and have an important position in traditional Chinese festivals. Therefore, after full argumentation by experts and extensive consultation with all parties, we chose to add these festivals as national statutory holidays.
