Extended information:

The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China and the Chinese character cultural circle areas as well as overseas Chinese. The Lantern Festival mainly includes a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks. In addition, many local Lantern Festivals also include traditional folk performances such as dragon lantern dancing, lion dancing, stilt walking, land boat rowing, Yangko dancing, and Taiping drum playing. In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.

The formation of the Lantern Festival customs has a long process. According to general information and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been taken seriously in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on Xinye night of the first lunar month. This activity was regarded by later generations as the precursor to offering sacrifices to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. However, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month truly became a folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties.

The custom of lighting lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is related to the spread of Buddhism to the east. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and officials and common people generally "burned lanterns to worship Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Buddhist lights spread all over the people. Since the Tang Dynasty, lighting up lanterns during the Lantern Festival has become a legal matter and has gradually become a folk custom.
