The origin of the Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China.The formation of the custom of the Lantern Festival has a long process, which is rooted in the ancient folk custom of turning on lights to pray for blessings.Turning on lanterns to pray for blessings usually starts on the 14th night of the first lunar month to "test the lanterns", and the night of the 15th is the "main lantern".Folks light lanterns, also known as "sending lanterns", to perform sacrifices to gods and pray for blessings.

The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty also played an important role in the formation of the customs of the Lantern Festival.During the Yongping period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, in order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered that on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, lanterns should be lit in palaces and temples to represent the Buddha.

Therefore, the custom of lighting lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month gradually expanded in China with the expansion of the influence of Buddhist culture and later the addition of Taoist culture.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, displaying lanterns during the Lantern Festival gradually became a custom.Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Buddhism, and there were lights on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in his palace.During the Tang Dynasty, cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries became closer, and Buddhism flourished.Officials and common people generally "burned lanterns to worship Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Buddhist lights spread among the people.Starting from the Tang Dynasty, lighting up lanterns during the Lantern Festival has become a legal matter.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival, and Lantern Festival.The first month of the first lunar month is the first month of the lunar calendar.The ancients called night "xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the "Lantern Festival".With the changes of society and times, the customs and habits of the Lantern Festival have already changed greatly, but it is still a traditional Chinese folk festival.

When the Lantern Festival was formed in the early stages of the festival, it was only called the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first half of the first lunar month or the first day of the month.After the Sui Dynasty, it was called Yuanxi or Yuanye.In the early Tang Dynasty, it was influenced by Taoism and was also called Shangyuan Festival.In the late Tang Dynasty, it was occasionally called Yuanxiao Festival.But since the Song Dynasty, it has also been called Dengxi.In the Qing Dynasty, it was also called Lantern Festival.On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chinese people are known to enjoy a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, eating Yuanxiao, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks.
