Eat Yuanxiao (glutinous rice balls)It has a long history in my country. It was originally called "Tangyuan". Later, because it was mostly eaten during the Lantern Festival, it was also called "Yuanxiao". Businessmen also call it "yuanbao". The common Yuanxiao is wrapped in a round shape with glutinous rice flour. The fillings are rich and varied, such as white sugar, rose, sesame, bean paste, osmanthus, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc. They can be meat or vegetarian and have different flavors. It can be cooked in soup, fried, or steamed, and symbolizes prosperity and reunion. 2. Guessing lantern riddles is a custom of the Lantern Festival. Juggling skills also appeared in the lantern festivals in the Tang Dynasty, riddles began to appear in the Song Dynasty, and opera performances were added in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, riddles have been developed and created through the ages. They are clever, lively and interesting, and are still very popular today. The so-called lantern riddles are riddles posted on lanterns, allowing people to guess the riddles while appreciating the lanterns. The answer to the riddle often focuses on the meaning of words, such as a character, a line of poetry, an object or a name. Since lantern riddles are difficult to guess, just like a tiger is difficult to shoot, they are also called "lantern tigers" (also called literary tigers). Lantern riddles are a language art created in my country. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, sentences that were close to Liaohui and concealed were made into "secret codes". It was not until the Han and Wei Dynasties that they began to be called "riddles". 3. China’s Valentine’s Day In the feudal traditional society, the Lantern Festival provided an opportunity for unmarried men and women to get to know each other. Young girls in traditional society were not allowed to go out freely, but they could go out and play in groups during the festival. Viewing the lanterns during the Lantern Festival was a good opportunity for socializing, and unmarried men and women could also use the opportunity to look for partners. During the Lantern Festival, it is an opportunity for young men and women to meet their lovers. The Lantern Festival is an opportunity for young men and women to meet their lovers, so the Lantern Festival has become China's "Valentine's Day". 4. Watching lanterns The main activity on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month is watching lanterns. On the night of the Lantern Festival, people hold candles and lanterns and play together. Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many styles of lanterns, including lotus lanterns, eight-treasure lanterns, octagonal lanterns, high-angle lanterns, dragon lanterns, etc. In today's Dengshikou, Gulou and Dazhalan areas, there are a large number of lanterns. People light lanterns and appreciate lanterns. The lights are bright, and the place name "Dengshikou" comes from this. 5. Sending lanterns to children is referred to as "sending lanterns", also known as "sending flower lanterns", etc. That is, before the Lantern Festival, the daughter's parents send flower lanterns to the family of the newly married daughter, or relatives and friends send lanterns to the family of the newly married infertile couple, in order to pray for auspicious sign of having a child, because "lantern" and "ding" are homophones. This custom exists in many places. In Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, lanterns are sent between the 8th and 15th day of the first lunar month. In the previous year, a pair of large palace lanterns and a pair of painted glass lanterns are sent, hoping that the daughter will be blessed with good fortune after marriage and give birth to a son soon. If the daughter is pregnant, in addition to the large palace lanterns, one or two pairs of small lanterns are also sent, wishing the daughter a safe pregnancy. 6. Lion dance is an excellent Chinese folk art. During the Lantern Festival or gatherings and celebrations, people perform lion dance to add to the fun. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period, became popular during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. 7. Get rid of all diseases "Walking away all diseases" is also called "touring all diseases", "dispersing all diseases", "roasting all diseases", "walking on a bridge", etc. This is also an activity used by people to eliminate disasters and pray for health. Walking away all diseases has been a custom in the north since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some people do it on the 15th day, but most of them do it on the 16th day. On the night of the Lantern Festival, many women would make appointments to go out together. They would walk together and cross every bridge they saw, in order to cure diseases and prolong their lives. Single friends can move around more during the Lantern Festival, which can also improve their emotional fortunes. 8. Lion dance is an excellent Chinese folk art.
