Features: The visual materials used in this book come from three sources: first, archaeological finds such as artifacts, murals, and carvings. Although this type of material is used sparingly, it can trace the cultural heritage of festivals back to ancient times. Second, engravings, New Year pictures, and picture books in ancient literature, which reflect the various activities of each festival. Third, visual materials related to ethnology, folklore, and folk art, such as paper-cuttings, folk deities, various toys, games, and body decorations. These cultural heritages are left by predecessors, so the application of Chinese Festivals—An Illustrated Guide to Traditional Folk Festivals is an absorption of the achievements of predecessors. In this regard, we would like to express our gratitude to the original creators of the materials.
