	Egypt: Grand Festivals in Ancient Egypt
		Although festivals were a very important part of the lives of the ancient people throughout Upper and Lower Egypt (many nomes or districts had their own local festivals), there were a few festivals that were known throughout the land.
		This festival is known from the Old Kingdom and it grew in importance due to the establishment of Egypt's capital at Memphis during the dawn of Egyptian history.
		It should be noted that this festival, associated with Min, was clearly one of fecundity and the virility of rebirth, and therefore the third festival of the year focusing on birth, with the agricultural aspect predominating.

		The importance of the Spring Festival lies in that it embodies the ancient Chinese philosophy "man is the integral aspect of nature." It symbolizes the harmonious unification of nature and the spring season in people's minds, and a fresh, vital starting point for both humanity and nature.
