Lantern Festival. In ancient society, the core of the cultural connotation of Lantern Festival was to offer sacrifices to Taiyi God (Polaris God) and pray for a bumper harvest and future generations. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, the belief in the stars faded, and the custom of offering sacrifices to Taiyi declined. Lantern Festival has become a festival for holding various celebrations and entertainment activities. The Lantern Festival since the Tang and Song Dynasties is indeed a carnival in China. Traditional festivals in China, which have been handed down to this day, are generally deeply infiltrated by Confucianism and pay attention to the close and integration of interpersonal relationships. However, the activities of the Lantern Festival are mainly enthusiastic, relaxed and happy, and almost all large-scale traditional entertainment and celebration methods are concentrated: decorating lanterns, beating gongs and drums, dancing dragons and lions, yangko, singing operas and solve riddles on the lanterns. It is full of folk carnival spirit, so it is called "Lantern Festival".
