🌕 Why Festivals Matter / 为什么学习节日文化？

In Chinese, every festival is a story — a tale of family, gratitude, and the rhythm of the seasons.
Learning about festivals isn’t just about dates or food; it’s about understanding the values that shape how people celebrate, remember, and connect.

Through festivals, children experience language in context — hearing new words, seeing customs come alive, and tasting the stories behind each tradition.

中文的每一个节日，都是一个关于家庭、感恩与四季变换的故事。
学习节日，不只是记住日期或食物，更是感受文化的温度与人情的连结。
在节日里，孩子能在真实的情境中学习语言，听到新词，看到习俗，也品尝故事的滋味。
