Folk Customs Stories (English Edition): Chinese Festivals, Solar Terms & the Stories Behind Everyday Traditions

From the 24 Solar Terms, Laba, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn to the 12 Zodiac Signs, Jiaozi and the Zhongshan Suit — A Clear Introduction to How Chinese People Live
This book explains Chinese customs through the festivals, seasons, and everyday things that shape the year—the 24 solar terms and the lunar calendar, Laba porridge, Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, tomb-sweeping in spring, dragon boats in summer, the Mid-Autumn moon, and the double ninth climb. It also covers the 12 zodiac animals, why jiaozi matters, what the Zhongshan suit is, and where phrases like “mendang hudui” come from. It is written for readers outside China who want to understand not just what Chinese people do, but why—so they can avoid misunderstandings and see the logic behind the customs. If you want a clear, story-based introduction to the traditions Chinese people actually live by—rather than an academic folklore study or a random collection of tales—this is it.
