1, the origin and customs of the Lantern Festival:

Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is an important traditional festival in China. This day was called Shangyuan in ancient times, and its night was called Yuanye, Yuanxi or Yuanxiao.

In ancient China, there was a close relationship between the calendar and the moon phases. There is a full moon on 15 every month, which is called "full moon". The full moon symbolizes a happy reunion. On the fifteenth day of the first month, people ushered in the first full moon night of the year, which is naturally regarded as an auspicious day.

According to historical records? According to Le Shu, as early as the early Western Han Dynasty, there were ceremonies in the court to offer sacrifices to Taiyi God on the 15th day of the first month and pray for blessing. According to the folk tradition in China, on this bright night, people light thousands of lanterns to celebrate.

Playing lanterns, going out to enjoy the moon, burning lamps and setting fires, enjoying riddles, having Lantern Festival, family reunion and celebrating the festival are all very enjoyable.
