The Lantern Festival is the main traditional festival in our country, also called Yuanxi, Yuanye, also known as the Lantern Festival, because it is The first full moon night of the new year. Because this festival has the custom of viewing lanterns in the past dynasties, it is also called the Lantern Festival.

The formation of the Lantern Festival customs has a long process. According to general information and folklore, attention has been paid to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on Xinye night of the first 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 fifteenth day of the first lunar month really became a folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties. The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty played an important role in the formation of Lantern Festival customs.

During the Yongping reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty (AD 58-75), because Emperor Ming promoted Buddhism, it coincided with Cai Min's return from India to seek Buddhism. It is an auspicious day to visit the Buddha and pay homage to the Buddha's relics.

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 the palace and temples to show 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 the addition of Taoist culture.

The real driving force of the Lantern Festival customs is that it is at a new point in time, and people make full use of this special time period to express their life wishes.
