riddles, they can pull the paper out
and go to the lantern owners to check
their answer. If they are right, they will get a
little gift. The
activity emerged
during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song
Dynasty (960-1279). As
riddle guessing
is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become
popular among all social strata.
People will eat yuanxiao,
or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also
called the
Festival.
rice
flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube
paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and
edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be
boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and
delicious.
What’s more, tangyuan in
Chinese has a similar pronunciation with
reunion. So people eat them to denote
union, harmony and happiness for the family.
In the daytime of the Festival,
performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a
lion dance, a
land boat dance, a yangge
dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while
dancing will be
staged. On the night,
except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a
beautiful scene. Most
families spare
some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let
them off in the Lantern Festival.
Some
local governments will even organize a fireworks
party. On the night when the first full
moon enters the New Year, people become
really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and
bright moon in the sky.
