Features: Traditional Chinese festivals and holidays are like a fascinating kaleidoscope of life. With their rich nostalgia, simple customs, lively entertainment, and devout worship, they are colorful and endless to behold. After years of dedicated study on folk culture, the author has meticulously presented this book, revealing the customs and seasonal traditions in all their glory. It is highly informative, entertaining, and practical, serving as a guide for people to celebrate festivals. Since ancient Chinese people revered deities during festivals and holidays, this book recounts the anecdotes and interesting tales of numerous gods, from the mighty like the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Five Yama Kings, to the lesser-known such as the longevity god, the god of wealth, the local earth god, the door god, the kitchen god, the window god, and even the toilet god, totaling over a dozen. From this perspective, the book also becomes a rich and delightful folk mythological guide to holiday celebrations.
