Features: In the vast world, through long historical evolution, every country and every nation has its own festivals. These rich and diverse, varied, and even peculiar festivals have become an important part of the history of human life and international relations. They are like bright mirrors, reflecting the unique historical landscapes and social customs of different countries and nations; they are like eternal monuments, recording the merits and demerits of great figures and significant events of each country; they are like colorful flowers, adorning the vibrant lives and cultural gardens of different ethnic groups; and they are also like solid bridges, connecting the common interests and universal aspirations of people in all countries for peace and happiness. These festivals reflect the culture and history of their respective countries and nations from another perspective. It can be said that festivals with national, ethnic, and international characteristics have formed a unique encyclopedia.

In recent years, in addition to celebrating their own traditional festivals, many foreign festivals have also been gradually accepted by people, especially the younger generation. However, most people have only accepted them superficially and pay little attention to the cultural heritage they contain. For example, do you know the origin of Easter? Who was Valentine's Day established to commemorate? And for what purpose is Thanksgiving Day set to express gratitude? We believe this book will provide you with detailed answers.
This book is presented in a bilingual format (Chinese-English), using vivid language to describe the origins of various festivals and accompanied by situational dialogues. It allows readers to not only clearly understand the origins of the festivals but also vividly experience the festive atmosphere. This book combines fun, knowledge, and science, not only improving readers' English proficiency but also taking them on a romantic cultural journey alongside the author.
