Legend has it that a long time ago, there were many fierce birds and beasts everywhere that hurt people and livestock, so people organized to defeat them. A god bird was trapped and landed on the earth, but was accidentally shot by an unsuspecting hunter. The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he learned that. He immediately issued a decree, ordering the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the land on the fifteenth day of the first month, burning all the people, livestock and property. The daughter of the Emperor of Heaven is kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so she risked her life and secretly rushed Xiangyun to the world to tell people the news. When people heard the news, it was like a blow to the head. I'm so scared that I don't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with an idea. He said: "On the 14th, 15th and 16th of the first month, every family decorated their houses, set off firecrackers and set off fireworks. In this way, the emperor will think that people have been burned to death. " Everyone nodded yes, so they parted ways and got ready to go. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor looked down and found that for three consecutive nights, the world was red and the noise was deafening. He thought it was the flame of a big fire, and soon. In this way, people saved their lives and property. In order to commemorate this success, every household hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first month to commemorate this day.

Lantern Festival is to commemorate Pinglu during the reign of Emperor Han. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Lv Hou's son Liu Ying became Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty. Hui Di was born weak and indecisive, and power gradually fell into the hands of Lv Hou. After Hui Di's death, he monopolized state affairs and turned Liu's world into Lu's. The old minister of the DPRK and Liu Zongshi were deeply indignant at this, but they were afraid of cruelty and did not dare to say anything. After Lv Hou's death, Zhu Lu was afraid of being hurt and excluded. So, in the general's home, they secretly assembled and plotted to make trouble in order to completely seize Liu's country. This story reached the ears of Liu Nang, the king of Liu. In order to protect Liu Jiangshan, Liu Nang decided to attack Zhu Lu. Later, he got in touch with founding fathers Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, and planned to get rid of Lv Lu. After the rebellion, the ministers made Liu Heng, the second son of Liu Bang, king and called him Emperor Wen. Deeply moved by the hard-won peace and prosperity, Wendy ended the "Zhu-Lu Rebellion". Since then, the fifteenth day of the first month has become a popular folk festival-"Lantern Festival".
