The fifteenth day of the first month is not a national holiday.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is not a legal holiday. Statutory holidays include: New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Lantern Festival is a traditional festival with a long history in China, and there are no holidays. As a traditional cultural festival with China characteristics, Lantern Festival not only enjoys the lights and the moon, but also eats glutinous rice balls. Ten years ago, people's living standards were not very high, so they paid little attention to traditional festivals.

China's current legal annual leave standard is 1 1 day, specifically for all citizens' holidays, including New Year's Day holiday 1 day (10/day), Spring Festival holiday for 3 days (New Year's Eve, the first day of the first month and the second day of the first month) and Tomb-Sweeping Day (Lunar New Year's Day)/.

Introduction of Lantern Festival

The folk custom of eating Yuanxiao on Lantern Festival is that Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice, solid or stuffed. Filled with bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, various fruit materials and so on. You can cook, fry, steam and fry when you eat. At first, people called this kind of food "Floating Zi Yuan", and later they called it "Tangtuan" or "Tangyuan". These names are similar in pronunciation, meaning reunion, symbolizing family reunion, harmony and happiness. People also miss their departed relatives and place their best wishes on their future lives.

The formation of Lantern Festival custom has a long process. According to historical data and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first month was paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sacrificed "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on the moonlit night, which was regarded by later generations as the first time to sacrifice to heaven on the fifteenth day of the first month. The fifteenth day of the first month is really a folk festival after the Han and Wei Dynasties. The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty is of great significance to the formation of Lantern Festival customs.
