The legal holidays in China are 1 1 day. This 1 1 day includes the following major festivals: New Year, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Among them, the Spring Festival holiday is the longest, generally three days, and other holidays are generally only 1 day.

However, the holiday of 1 1 day cannot cover all the traditional festivals in China, such as Lantern Festival, Qixi Festival and Double Ninth Festival, which are usually not legal holidays. In addition, the legal holidays in China also include some international festivals, such as May 1 International Labor Day and National Day. These festivals belong not only to the people of China, but also to the working people all over the world.

It is worth noting that the legal holidays in China are not static, but will be adjusted with the development of society and the adjustment of national policies. For example, in June 5438+February 65438+April 2007, the State Council, China announced new national legal holidays and anniversaries, making Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve legal holidays, thus increasing the number of legal holidays from 7 days to 1 1 day.
