Lantern Festival is also Valentine's Day? In ancient times, Lantern Festival was a romantic festival.

1, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, which can also be said to be Valentine's Day in China.

2. Why do you say that? The fifteenth day of the first month after the Spring Festival every year is the first full moon night of the lunar year. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, and the ancients called the night "Xiao". More than 2,000 years ago, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wendi ordered the 15th day of the first month to be designated as the Lantern Festival. On the night of Lantern Festival, the streets are decorated with lanterns. People eat Yuanxiao at home and enjoy the moon. They go out with lanterns and solve riddles on lanterns.

Lantern Festival is also a romantic festival in traditional festivals in China, which provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women to get to know each other. In ancient times, young women, especially those with a good family or a small family, could not leave the boudoir in three steps. Because of the opening of the Lantern Festival, lanterns are being made everywhere, and the streets are crowded with people. Men and women can meet each other, and love is easy to produce. For thousands of years, there have been countless love stories on the Lantern Festival.
