Name of Lantern Festival (10 or above)

Turn off the knife light. The knife-collecting lamp is made according to the legendary dragon crescent moon knife used by Guan Gong before his death. It travels with lanterns and rabbit lanterns, which is a metaphor for protecting peace.

The rabbit lamp is a three-headed parallel * * * body, the middle head is big, commonly known as "rabbit girl", and the two sides are small, so it is called "thin rabbit". Bamboo strips are used as the skeleton, made of red, white and green paper, inserted with wicks, lit and carried.

Named after the appearance of gongs and drums in early production. Because the word "Guang" is homophonic with the word "Ding" in Minnan dialect, it is generally considered as a good omen for population prosperity.

The formation of Lantern Festival custom has a long process. According to general data and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first month was paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty. On the night of the first month, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered sacrifices to "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace, which was regarded by later generations as the first sacrifice to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first month.
