The ancients called the night "xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the "Lantern Festival". The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full-moon night of the year. It is also the night when a new year begins and the earth returns to spring. People celebrate this night, which is also a continuation of the celebration of the New Year. The Lantern Festival is also known as the "Shangyuan Festival."The Lantern Festival is also known as the Lantern Festival. The custom of lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the lantern-viewing activities became more prosperous. Lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace and on the streets. Tall lantern wheels, lantern towers and lantern trees were also built. The great Tang Dynasty poet Lu Zhaolin once described the grand occasion of lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival in "Watching Lanterns on the 15th Night" as follows: "The sky looks like falling stars, and the sky looks like hanging moon." The Song Dynasty attached greater importance to the Lantern Festival. The lantern viewing activities were more lively, lasting for 5 days, and the styles of lanterns were also more diverse. In the Ming Dynasty, people would enjoy the lanterns for 10 consecutive days, which was the longest Lantern Festival in China. Although the lantern viewing activity in the Qing Dynasty lasted only three days, it was on a large scale and unprecedentedly grand. In addition to lighting lanterns, fireworks were also set off to add to the fun. Why do we set off fireworks on the Lantern Festival and what is its significance?Legend has it that a long time ago, there were many ferocious birds and beasts that hurt people and livestock everywhere, so people organized themselves to fight them. One day, a divine bird landed on the earth because it got lost, but was accidentally shot to death by an unsuspecting hunter. When the Emperor of Heaven learned about it, he was very angry, and immediately issued an order to the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the human world on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and burn all the people, animals and property in the human world to death. The Emperor of Heaven's daughter was kind-hearted and could not bear to see innocent people suffer, so she risked her life and secretly came to the human world on a auspicious cloud to tell people the news. When everyone heard the news, it was like a loud bang in their heads. They were so scared that they didn't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with a solution. He said, "On the 14th, 15th and 16th days of the first lunar month, every household should decorate their homes with lanterns, light firecrackers and fireworks. In this way, the Emperor of Heaven will think that people have been burned to death."Everyone nodded in agreement and went to prepare separately. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor of Heaven looked down and found that the world was full of red light and there was a deafening noise. This happened for three consecutive nights. He thought it was the flame of a big fire and was very happy. In this way, people saved their lives and property. To commemorate this success, every household hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to commemorate this day.
