节日636f7079e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94334，是世界人民为适应生产和生活的需要而共同创造的一种民俗文化，是世界民俗文化的重要组成部分。
参考中国节日由来，大体地节日的起源主要有以下七个方面：
历法节气
中国自古以 农为本，以农立国。早在7000多年以前，原始农业已经出现了南北分野，北方以粟作为主，南方以稻作为主。农业生产有很强的季节性特点：春播、夏耘、秋收、冬藏，周而复始，年复一年。历法反映了农业生产规律，对指导农业生产起了积极作用，同时也为岁时节日的产生提供了必要的前提。有些节日如立春、夏至、立秋、冬至等，则是由节气直接发展而来的。 岁时节日与历日节气关系十分密切，但历日节气本身并非节日，除上述少数者外，只是为节日产生提供了前提，节日的形成还必须有一定的风俗为其内容。
原始崇拜
中国原始先民常常把某些动物奉为神明加以崇拜，最典型的要算龙图腾崇拜。
禁忌迷信
在生产不发达的上古时代，当人们无法解释大自然的奥秘，不能掌握自己命运的时候，便产生了许多禁忌和迷信观念。春节是中国最大的传统节日，放爆竹习俗原意是避山魈恶鬼，后来增加了祭祖、供神、团圆、娱乐等内容。这类禁忌迷信是一种消极防范手段，反映了人们趋吉避祸的愿望。
祭祀
最明显的例子是清明节、中元节和寒衣节。这三个节日原是以祭祖为源，以祭祖事鬼为主要节俗活动，所以又叫三“鬼节”。清明扫墓包含有怀念祖先，勉励后人之意。中元节又称盂兰盆节，有放河灯拯孤照冥的习俗。寒衣节时人们在祖先墓前焚化纸衣。
宗教
中国民俗节日深受宗教影响，许多节日都来源于宗教。宗教节日流传到民间，逐渐形成了庙会等一系列节俗活动。
多神信仰
中国是个多神信仰的国家，有些神话传说和历史人物被奉为神明加以崇拜和祭祀，由此而产生了一系列大大小小的民俗节日。节日是一个能动的文化因子，节日虽有固定的时间，但它的内容却处于不断发展和变化之中。 日常衍生近现代出现的节日，大多与环境和人文出现，适应人们日常生活衍生出来的节日，从一小部分人倡导，到后来广为流传。例如世界水日，时间眼日，315消费者保护节日。
