The Torch （火把） Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some ethnic （民族的） groups in southwestern China， such as the Yi， Bai， Hani， Lisu， Naxi， Pumi and Lahu， etc. It usually falls on lunar June 24th or 25th， with three days of celebrations. The origin of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors， who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and protect crop growth. For some ethnic groups， it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate on taking care of crops.

During the festival， big torches are made to stand in all villages， with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls， the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time， people walk around the fields and houses， holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages， young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races， bullfights， etc. are also held during the festival.

In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan， torches are used to form hurdles （欄架） for riders to get through. The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruits to torches with ropes. When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit， people struggle for the fruits for good luck. For the Lisu people in Sichuan， the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades （游行）. Big torches are carried by the procession， which is like a fire dragon. If several processions from different directions meet， it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.

The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets （操縱木偶） behind the screen， narrating （敘述） stories and accompanied by music.

Setting off firecrackers.

Firecrackers have a history of more than 2，000 years. It is said that there was a beast （獸） named Nian in ancient China. After gunpowder was invented， it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker （竹節(jié)爆竹）.

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor （指揮家） decided to hold an international festival of music， dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

At the same time， the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947， in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform， and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon， groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University， and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge， Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the “Fringe”， once less recognized， has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theater， music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And years early as 1959， with only 19 theater groups performing， some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator （管理人員） was first employed only in 1971， and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

In the previous （先前的） two years， instead of my favorite maple-frosted donut （甜甜圈） cake， I had one birthday request from my family—hiking and a picnic together. Thankfully， it was my special day， so they agreed to come along. That was the past two years. That’s not today.

Today is my birthday， and I’m on the other side of the world. I wish that I could hang out with my family and friends in the US.

My mother， tells me regularly how she has missed almost all of her grandsons’ birthday celebrations. She intentionally connects with them through phone on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and see the kids blow out their candles.

However， is not the same as “being there” physically—together. She feels like she misses our major life milestones called “birthdays”.

Today， I’m okay. My mother had made an e-card for me， sent to my e-mail box early this morning. She never forgets. My in-laws， my sister and her family， my sweet friend in France， and my dear friends here in Spain and over there in the US have already wished me “Happy Birthday” online. Some even mailed me cards and gifts across the sea.

The only “gifts” I’m missing are maple-frosted donuts for a birthday cake. My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she traveled to visit me. However， after a 20-hour trip across the sea， they weren’t so fresh anymore.

Tonight， we will have a special dinner outside on our back porch in the cool， evening air. I will blow out A LOT OF candles on my birthday cake.

I am happy. I have breath， life， a heartbeat， and deep inner joy from the love of my family and friends around the world.

Why do people give gifts in the first place？ Throughout the world， many cultures special holidays with gifts and food. Holiday bring people together and allow us to feel a part of the family and community. The gifts and food that we share are all about a sense of gratitude （感激） and joy.

The gifts of a few generations ago were more common and homemade. Even the people who could expensive presents probably didn’t do as much buying and spending as we do today. Gift giving has become a booming industry. Sometimes the meaning behind the tradition gets lost， and the gift giving takes on （呈現(xiàn)） a of its own.

Not only is the pressure on spending money on the right ， but many people also find that when gifts become the central point of a holiday， they place too much on receiving， too. It’s all too to have high expectations of what’s in that beautifully wrapped box—but that can set anyone up for .

When the materialistic aspects of the holiday overshadow （使黯然失色） its ， it can leave people feeling empty and for something more. It’s no wonder that we often about people having the “holiday blues”—feeling sad or empty instead of feeling and satisfied.

Not all people think the holidays are too materialistic， of course. Most the traditional aspects of the holidays， like getting together and with friends and family. And some love shopping and are just with all the giving and receiving.

But if you’re feeling a little about the holidays， what can you do？ One way to take back the holiday spirit is to on traditions and service—putting real meaning into your giving.

Dear editor，

The mooncake is loved by people of all nationalities in China. But nowadays， more and more people give their opinions about luxury mooncakes with fancy decorations. I’m writing to express my view about it.

I don’t think it is necessary to buy luxury mooncakes. The mooncake is a token of family reunion. However， some people regard it as a way to show their wealth and position， which completely goes against the original meaning of the mooncake. Besides， the price of some mooncakes is far more expensive than their costs.

All in all， I think what is important in celebrating the festival is respecting the tradition instead of buying something that we can’t afford.

Yours，
