Abstract

This paper textually investigates festival sports and recreational custom in the Tang Dynasty—its origin, underlying cultural implication, spectacularity and evolution in the Tang Dynasty by document research method. There were a great number of festivals at that time to stage so many colorful festival folk custom activities, such as Man Day, Shangyuan Festival, Shangsi Festival (3rd day of 3rd lunar month), Qingming Festival and Cold Food Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival,Lari Festival,Winter Solstice Festival and New Year’s Eve. Some Poems and Proses of the Tang Dynasty feature festival sports and recreational activities, presenting clear pictures of such spectacular events and helping preserve our fine folk customs, their rites and more.
