What is the significance of the Lantern Festival

The most fundamental meaning of the Lantern Festival should also be more directly related to reunion.

While we all know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion for the Chinese people, the significance of the Lantern Festival's reunion is different from that of the Mid-Autumn Festival's reunion.

The meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is for the family to come back to have a reunion wherever they are, which contains the thoughts of the family.

While the Lantern Festival reunion is a kind of blessing to the family just after the Spring Festival, before we go to work or go out of town, so there is a fundamental difference between these two kinds of reunions.

Of course, the Lantern Festival in addition to reunion, there are the following two meanings:

1, **** with the enjoyment of a good life

I believe that we must have heard of the Lantern Festival this argument, this method in fact, the most important meaning is with the family *** with the enjoyment of a good life a meaning, the Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of the first month, the time is very far from just past the Spring Festival. The Lantern Festival is the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, and is very close to the time of the Spring Festival that has just passed, so this time of the year *** with the enjoyment of the good life words also contains a yearning for a better life, and of course it is also a good tradition of our Chinese nation.

2, contains a variety of meanings

Soup dumplings, although delicious, but we eat dumplings at the Lantern Festival, and not just for the sake of delicious dumplings eat dumplings dumplings contain the meaning of abundance, good, reunion, sweet and so on people's aspirations, so every time we eat dumplings, we will eat dumplings with the family to these wonderful aspirations to pray! Praying that we can be more close to these beautiful things and things in the year, of course, this is not a kind of superstition, but simply represents our pursuit of good things.

The Lantern Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals, which brings us a lot of joy, and basically, after the Lantern Festival, we are going to embark on a journey in the new year, so when we celebrate the Lantern Festival, it also contains a pursuit of good achievements in the new year.
