The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday that usually falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is the first full moon of the year. The festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations and is celebrated on the night of the full moon.

The origins of the Lantern Festival can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD). According to legend, the festival was established to honor the deity Chang'e, who is said to have descended to the moon on this day. Another story tells of the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, who was saved from a fire by a crowd holding lanterns. To celebrate his safety, he ordered lanterns to be lit across the empire.
During the festival, people light lanterns of various shapes and sizes, often with intricate patterns and decorations. It is a tradition to hang lanterns in temples, homes, and public places. Families gather to enjoy lantern displays, lion and dragon dances, and eat Yuanxiao, a type of sweet rice ball filled with sweet or savory fillings.
The Lantern Festival is not only a time for joy and celebration but also for appreciating the beauty of the moon and expressing gratitude for the harvest. It symbolizes reunion, good fortune, and hope for the new year ahead.
