The Lantern Festival, also known as the Fifteenth Day of the First Month, is a traditional Chinese celebration that marks the end of the Spring Festival. It has a long history, dating back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 9).

According to legend, the festival originated from the worship of the moon. In ancient China, people believed that the moon was the symbol of purity and beauty, so they celebrated the full moon with various activities. The festival is also associated with the story of a beautiful girl named Yuan Yuan, who was turned into a moon fairy by the God of the Moon.
During the Lantern Festival, people hang colorful lanterns in their homes and streets. These lanterns are made of paper, silk, or other materials, and come in various shapes and sizes. The most popular lanterns are the round ones, which symbolize reunion and happiness.
Another traditional activity is eating sweet rice balls, known as "tangyuan" in Chinese. These balls are made of glutinous rice and filled with sweet sesame or red bean paste. They represent family unity and prosperity.
Fireworks and dragon dances are also common during the festival. Fireworks symbolize joy and happiness, while dragon dances are believed to bring good luck and fortune.
The Lantern Festival is a time for families to gather and celebrate the end of the New Year. It is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of China.
