The Lantern Festival

关于元宵节

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

1

the

streets,

attracting

countless

visitors.

Children

will

hold

self-made

or

bought

lanterns

to

stroll

with

on

the

streets,

extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is 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

"Yuanxiao

Festival."Yuanxiao

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. T

angyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes

sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese

has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan

”

, meaning

reunion.

So

people eat

them to

denote union, harmony

and

happiness for the family.
