scholars of Song pattern,the unity of noumenon and usage of the SongConfucian school,the secularization and popularization of the Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism.Secondly,the author traced the evolution and formation of the official formulated festivals in Song Dynasty.Thirdly,the author concluded that,under the Song pattern culture,the Festival Ci shows its characteristic as Ya Zheng(elegance and correction),mainly manifesting as the perspective of “ya yu zheng tong”(the belief that the elegance of literature leading the way to the ideal political situation),the emperor'simage created with humanity and filial piety,the elegance of the symbols,and the decency of the style.And these characteristics are mainly attributed to the following three aspects: the
