The Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in

the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a

festival with great significance.

This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220),

Buddhism

flourished

in

China.

One

emperor

heard

that

Buddhist

monks would watch sarira,

or

remains from the cremation of Buddha's body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th

day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the

imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among

common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till

today,

the

lantern

festival

is

still

held

each

year

around

the

country.

Lanterns

of

various

shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made

or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited.

lantern

riddles

an

essential

part

of

the Festival.

Lantern

owners write

riddles

on

a

piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the 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

uanxiao Festival.

uanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of

glutinous

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

meaning 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

Y

ear,

people

become

really

intoxicated

by

the

imposing

fireworks

and

bright

moon

in

the

sky.

The

Festival

of

Lanterns

takes

place

at

the

end

of

the

Chinese

New

Y

ear

Celebration,

on

the

fifteenth day of the first moon.

Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so it's not

surprising to see a festival of lanterns.

People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats.

These lanterns

are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration.

After a sumptuous

fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.

Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in

the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats.

Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal

symbols

of

that

year.

The

most

popular

type

of

lantern

is

the

one,

in

which

figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern.

The special food for the Lantern Festival is Y

uen Sin or Tong Y

uen.

These are round dumplings

made with sticky rice flour.

They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and

cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp.

The round shape of the

dumpling is a

symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich

and poor to have fun.

春节
