Introduction: The Magic of Lantern Festival
Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is one of the most vibrant and beloved traditional festivals in China. Falling on the 15th day of the first lunar month, it marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. This year, as you celebrate away from home, we hope these greetings bring you a sense of connection and joy, reminding you of the warmth and love that surrounds you, even when miles apart.
A Brief History of Lantern Festival
The origins of Lantern Festival can be traced back over 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty. It began as a way to honor the moon and celebrate the coming of spring. Over time, it evolved into a grand festival filled with lantern displays, riddles, and the release of sky lanterns. Each tradition has its own significance, symbolizing peace, prosperity, and unity.
Traditions and Customs
From lighting lanterns to eating tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls), each custom adds a unique touch to the celebration. Here are some key traditions:
- Lighting Lanterns: Lanterns are not only beautiful but also carry symbolic meanings. They represent brightness and happiness.
