What are the characteristics of Lantern Festival that can show the breath of spring?

The most obvious feature of the Lantern Festival is that it is sometimes more lively than the Spring Festival. On the Lantern Festival, the daytime is basically like a market, which is very lively, and there are many more people coming and going in the street than usual. At night, the lights are dim, lanterns are hung, firecrackers are set off and fireworks are set off, which is simply a wonderful performance. As a traditional festival in China, almost every family celebrates the Lantern Festival.

Starting from the folk custom of "turning on the lights to pray for blessings", it is usually necessary to try the lights on the Lantern Festival, that is, on the first day of the fifteenth day of the first month, on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month, and light them on the fifteenth day of the first month to carry out activities of offering sacrifices to the gods and praying for blessings. With the introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the custom of Lantern Festival continued to spread later.

Every year except the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is the busiest time for shops. Usually one or two sentences before the Lantern Festival, the surrounding hotels are basically fully booked, and supermarket sales are also extremely hot.
