The origin of this festival.

Lantern Festival is on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, usually in February or March of the solar calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it has become a festival of great significance. The important activity of this day is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty, Buddhism prevailed in China. ?

An emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch the relics (the remains of Buddha's body after cremation) and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month (1), so he ordered lanterns to be lit in palaces and temples on this day to show his respect for Buddha. ?

Later, the Buddhist ceremony developed into a grand festival for ordinary people, and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just after the Spring Festival, the traditional festival Lantern Festival in China was ushered in. The main activity of the Lantern Festival is watching lights. The emperor advocated Buddhism. He heard that on the fifteenth day of the first month, monks watched Buddhist relics and lit lamps to worship Buddha, so he ordered that on this night, they lit lamps to worship Buddha in palaces and temples, so that all the gentry and ordinary people could hang lights.

Later, this Buddhist ceremonial festival gradually formed a grand folk festival. This festival has experienced the development process from the court to the people, and from the Central Plains to the whole country.
