Festival s are meant to celebrate important event s and to honour the dead or famous people, and they take place in different time of year. In ancient times, people had not enough to eat and often starve d to death; only at festivals could they have a big meal. During the Spring Festival, dressed up in beautiful new clothes, people get together with their families and have fun with their friends. On April Fool’s Day, people play jokes on each other, and on Valentine’s Day, lovers drown themselves in happiness. Festivals let us be proud of our custom s and forget our work for a little while.
