### Legend of the Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the New Year celebrations and is a time for family reunions and the appreciation of the beauty of lanterns.
#### The Origin of the Lantern Festival
One of the most popular legends about the Lantern Festival is the story of Princess Chang'e. According to the tale, there was a celestial god named Hou Yi who was skilled in archery. He was given a magical potion by the Queen Mother of the West, which could make him immortal. However, Hou Yi had only one chance to drink the potion, and he decided to share it with his wife, Chang'e.
When Hou Yi was away hunting, Chang'e accidentally drank the potion, and she became immortal. She ascended to the moon, where she lived alone, feeling lonely and sad. Hou Yi, upon returning, was heartbroken and missed his wife dearly. He decided to make a mooncake, a traditional Chinese pastry, and sent it to the moon with a message for Chang'e.
To celebrate their love and to bring Chang'e some comfort, Hou Yi and his friends and family would gather on the 15th day of the lunar month and release lanterns into the sky. They believed that the lanterns would guide Chang'e back to Earth, and the festival was born.
