This is the Lantern Festival. \x0d\ Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, also known as Lantern Festival, Shangyuan Festival, Xiaoyuanyuan Festival, Yuanxi Festival or Lantern Festival, is the first important festival after the Spring Festival and one of the traditional festivals of China and overseas Chinese. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "night", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon in a year was called the Lantern Festival. \ x0d \ x0d \ In the ancient customs of China, Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), Zhongyuan Festival (Orchid Festival) and Xiayuan Festival (Water Joint) are collectively called Sanyuan. Lantern Festival began in the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered the fifteenth day of the first month to be designated as the Lantern Festival. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were scheduled for the 15th day of the first month (Taiyi: the God in charge of everything in the universe).

Yuanxiao, called "floating Zi Yuan" in ancient times, is a popular folk snack, which tastes both refined and popular, sweet but not greasy, and is popular all over the country. Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, as a kind of food, has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, a novel Lantern Festival food was popular among the people. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, rice porridge or bean porridge was poured with meat and poop soup. However, this kind of food is mainly used for sacrifice, not holiday food.

Some people call it "the pearl in oil painting". In the Tang Dynasty and Lantern Festival, silkworms were eaten. Wang Renyu (1880- 1956) recorded in the "Tianbao Legacy of Kaiyuan": "The custom of artificial sericulture is still left over in the Song Dynasty, but the food in different seasons is richer than that in the Tang Dynasty." Lu Yuanming mentioned in Chronological Miscellanies: "Beijingers use mung bean powder as a branch to make soup, glutinous rice as a pill, and sugar as _ _, which is called Zi Yuan salted soybean. Cooking soup with mixed meat is called salt and black bean soup. Every day, it is like making silkworms, and it is eaten in Yuanjie. " In the Southern Song Dynasty, the so-called "lactose dumplings" appeared, which should be the predecessor of glutinous rice balls. \x0d\\x0d\ During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, the "Babao Lantern Festival" specially made by the royal chef was a delicious food known to all. Ma Siyuan was a master of Lantern Festival in Beijing at that time. His glutinous rice dumplings are famous far and wide. Fu Zeng (born in 1688) wrote: "Osmanthus fragrans is full of walnuts, and the rice is like a pearl well. Watch Ma Jiahao drop powder and try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " The poem is about the famous Majia Lantern Festival. \ x0d \ x0d \ In recent thousands of years, the production of Yuanxiao has become more and more exquisite. As far as dough is concerned, there are glutinous rice noodles, sticky sorghum noodles, yellow wheat noodles and wrapped noodles. The contents of fillings are sweet, salty, vegetarian and everything. There are also so-called sweet-scented osmanthus candy, hawthorn candy, assorted foods, bean paste, sesame seeds, peanuts and so on.
