The formation of the Lantern Festival customs has a long process and is rooted in the ancient folk custom of lighting lanterns and praying for blessings.Lighting lanterns and praying for blessings usually starts on the 14th night of the first lunar month, with the 15th night being the 'main lantern'. People light lanterns, also known as 'sending lanterns', to offer sacrifices to gods and pray for blessings. The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty also played an important role in the formation of the Lantern Festival customs. During the Yongping period of Emperor Ming of Han, in order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Ming of Han ordered that "lanterns be lit to show respect to Buddha" in the palace and temples on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month. Therefore, the custom of lighting lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month gradually spread in China with the expansion of the influence of Buddhist culture and the later addition of Taoist culture. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, hanging lanterns during the Lantern Festival gradually became a custom. Emperor Wu of Liang was a devout Buddhist and he decorated his palace with lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During the Tang Dynasty, cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries became closer, Buddhism flourished, and officials and common people generally "lit lanterns to worship Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Buddhist lanterns thus spread throughout the people. Since the Tang Dynasty, hanging lanterns during the Lantern Festival has become a legal requirement. Legend of the Lantern Festival - Commemorating "Ping Lü"Legend has it that the Lantern Festival was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han to commemorate the "suppression of the Lü clan." After the death of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lü, ascended the throne as Emperor Hui of Han. After Emperor Hui of Han died of illness, Empress Lü took control of the government and turned the Liu family's empire into the Lü family's empire. The old ministers in the court and the Liu clan were deeply indignant, but they were afraid of Empress Lü's cruelty and dared not speak out.After Empress Lü died of illness, the Lü clan became extremely worried and fearful of being harmed and ostracized. So, they secretly gathered at the home of General Lu Lu and conspired to make a rebellion in order to completely seize the Liu family's kingdom. This matter reached the ears of Liu Xiang, the King of Qi, who, in order to protect the Liu family's kingdom, decided to lead an army to attack the Lü clan. He then contacted Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, two of the founding ministers, and designed a plan to remove Lü Lu. Finally, the "Lü Rebellion" was completely put down. After the rebellion was quelled, the ministers supported Liu Bang's fourth son Liu Heng to ascend the throne and he was called Emperor Wen of Han. Emperor Wen felt that peace and prosperity were hard-won, so he designated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day when the "Lu Rebellion" was quelled, as a day to celebrate with the people. Every household in the capital decorated their homes with lanterns and streamers to celebrate. From then on, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month became a folk festival celebrated throughout the country - "Lantern Festival". During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the sacrificial activities for "Taiyi God" were set on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. (Taiyi: the god who dominates everything in the universe). It is said that when Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar", he had already designated the Lantern Festival as a major festival. |
