Celebrating the important traditional festivals of our nation is to wear traditional clothes and cook traditional food.

Every year on the 15th day of the first month, the first full moon night of the Lunar New Year is ushered in.

Lantern Festival is one of the important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation, and our country has always had the custom of "having Lantern Festival".

Folk traditional festivals

As the most representative traditional folk festival in China, Lantern Festival has been closely related to emotional factors such as home country and homeland since ancient times. The tradition of "Noisy" in Lantern Festival originated from the sacrificial activities in Qin and Han Dynasties. On the fifteenth day of the first month of every year, people worship God and Buddha, hoping to keep their homes safe and harvest crops.

China has a vast territory and a long history and civilization, and the forms of "Lantern Festival" in different regions also vary from place to place with their own characteristics. Writer Lao She once described the Lantern Festival celebrations in old Beijing. "On the fifteenth day of the first month, the lights are shining everywhere, and the whole street is as prosperous and beautiful as a happy event."

Maybe people nowadays can't completely follow the customs of the ancients, but in any case, the true feelings and memories of China people rooted in their hearts are unchanged. Focusing on the present, like many traditional festivals, with the development of modern society and the renewal of people's life concepts, the Lantern Festival is interpreting and presenting the essence of culture in a brand-new way with the characteristics of the new era.
