Expanded Information:

The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Lesser New Year's Day, the Lantern Festival or the Lantern Festival, is one of the traditional festivals of China. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, and the ancients called the "night" as "dawn", and January 15 is the first full moon night of the year, so the 15th day of the first month is called the "Lantern Festival".

According to the Taoist theory of "three elements", the fifteenth day of the first month of the year is also known as the "Festival of the first element". Since ancient times, the Lantern Festival has had the custom of viewing lanterns. According to general information and folklore, the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar was already emphasized during the Western Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's sacrifice of "Taiyi" at the Ganquan Palace on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is considered to be the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar when the gods of transmission were worshipped.

However, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar is actually a folk festival after the Han Dynasty. The custom of lighting lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar is related to the eastward spread of Buddhism. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and officials and people generally "lit lamps for Buddha" on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and the Buddha's light spread to the people.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival has become a legal matter, and gradually become a folk custom. The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals of the Chinese nation and overseas Chinese.?

The Lantern Festival mainly consists of a series of traditional folk activities such as lantern watching, eating dumplings, guessing lantern riddles and setting off fireworks. In addition, many places have added traditional folk performances such as the Lantern Festival Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, Stilt Walking, Boat Rowing, Rice-planting Songs and Drumming. In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected as the second national intangible cultural heritage.
