The first month of the fifteenth civil affairs bureau work

The Civil Affairs Bureau does not work on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first month, also known as the Lantern Festival, is not a legal holiday in China, so the Civil Affairs Bureau works normally. If the first day of the month falls on a Saturday or Sunday weekend break, the Civil Affairs Bureau still does not work.

Traditional customs on the 15th day of the first lunar month:

1, Lantern Appreciation: The 15th day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lantern Festival, is one of China's traditional festivals, where people appreciate lanterns and celebrate the festivities;

2, Eating Lanterns or Dumplings: The traditional food for the Lantern Festival is Lanterns or dumplings, which symbolize reunion and beauty;

3, Guessing Lantern Riddles: Guessing lantern riddles under lanterns is a traditional part of the Lantern Festival. Lantern riddles are a traditional entertainment activity of the Lantern Festival, adding fun to the festival;

4, dragon and lion dances: in some areas, people will organize dragon and lion dances to pray for good luck and peace in the new year;

5, fireworks: fireworks are one of the customs of the traditional Chinese festivals to add to the festive atmosphere and to drive away evil spirits.

In summary, the 15th day of the first month is not a legal holiday in China, so the Civil Affairs Bureau will work normally, unless the day falls on the weekend rest day.
