On the fifteenth day of the first month, the light means

On the fifteenth day of the first month, you pinch a lamp, which means that you will not be harmed by insects and rats for a year.

1, Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, commonly known as "Lantern Festival", began in Han Dynasty and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties. Hongdao has the custom of making lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Face lights are divided into different types, such as lotus lights, moon lights and chicken lights, and most of them are made of sweet potato noodles or bean noodles. Every year 12 months, you need to make 12 face lamps, and you need to make one more in leap months.

2. Each surface lamp represents one month. Pinch the pleats on the lamp bowl by month, one pleat in January, two pleats in February, and so on. After steaming, add soybean oil to the lamp and put cotton as the core in the soybean oil. Light this 12 surface lamp at night, and predict the weather conditions of each month and the seasons of drought, flood and abundance by observing the burning of the surface lamp.

3. For example, the face lamp representing April is blown by the wind, which indicates that there may be strong winds in that month; If there is water burning in June, it may be rainy and waterlogged that month. On the Lantern Festival, women will light chicken lanterns made of flour, and there are lights everywhere inside and outside the door and in the corner. While taking pictures, I will say, "Where is the chicken lantern? Where is it clear?" This means that insects and mice will not be harmed for one year.
