Introduction
Welcome to our special feature on Lantern Festival messages! This year, let’s celebrate together by sending heartfelt greetings to friends and family. Whether you’re an overseas student missing home or someone who loves Chinese culture, these messages will surely resonate with you.
The History of the Lantern Festival
The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Legend has it that this festival originated during the Han Dynasty when Emperor Han Wudi ordered lanterns to be lit in honor of Buddha. Over time, it evolved into a major holiday filled with traditions and festivities.
Lantern Festival Traditions
Some of the most beloved traditions include lighting lanterns, solving riddles, and eating tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls). These customs not only add to the festive atmosphere but also symbolize unity and good fortune. For those of us abroad, participating in these activities can help bridge the distance between us and our loved ones back home.
