What's the reason why the students don't have a holiday on the Lantern Festival

The 15th day of the first month is the Lantern Festival, which is a traditional festival in China. People have the custom of eating, watching lanterns and guessing riddles. As a traditional festival, many units do not have Lantern Festival holiday, why not? Today Xiaobian will tell you the reason.

Why not have a holiday on Lantern Festival? Why?

From the perspective of traditional attributes, it should be sooner or later for the Lantern Festival and other festivals with traditional characteristics to be included in the statutory holidays, but they have not yet been included. I think there are several reasons:

1. The Lantern Festival is too close to the Spring Festival. We usually put the Spring Festival on the seventh day and the eighth day of the first lunar month. The time between them is short.

2. The spring festival itself has already taken a long holiday of 7 days plus the alternative holidays in various places may be longer, so the state has not arranged the Lantern Festival.

3. The content of the Lantern Festival is also new year's day, mainly for reunion, similar to our Spring Festival.

4. The reason why the Lantern Festival does not have a holiday now is that there is a national legal holiday. In the past, the Lantern Festival had a holiday. Later, in order to highlight the Dragon Boat Festival and fight for world-class cultural heritage in the Qing and Ming Dynasties, the holiday of the Lantern Festival was cancelled.

Do students have a holiday on Lantern Festival?

Lantern Festival in ancient times is called Shangyuan Festival, which is next to the Spring Festival, or it can be said to be a very important festival. At that time, the spring festival began from the beginning of the new year to the end of the Lantern Festival, which is in the holiday of. It doesn't have to go back far. When I was a child, it took 15 years to start construction in the countryside. And now students' winter and summer holidays are reflected.

Generally, students start school on the 16th day of the first month, but some schools are short of starting school on the 11th day of the first month. According to the editor, the semester before the winter vacation is relatively long, and the semester after the winter vacation is shorter than that in previous years. According to the same calendar, the 16th day of the first month has already started in March, so we can only think of ways to extend the teaching time when the teaching and learning tasks cannot be reduced. It is estimated that the early start of school is mainly due to this consideration.

Most of the children are reluctant to start school early, although the children in junior high school and junior high school may start school earlier. But after more than 20 days of winter vacation, the parents of bear children are expected to be eager for their children to start school earlier.
