What are the nicknames of the Lantern Festival? What is the origin of the Lantern Festival?
The Lantern Festival is approaching soon after the Spring Festival. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year is our traditional festival, the Lantern Festival. So, do you know what other names the Lantern Festival has? What is the origin of the Lantern Festival? The key to a good year begins in spring. For more knowledge about the first month of the lunar calendar, please pay attention to the 2019 first month of the lunar calendar special topic on Shuimoxiansheng.com.What are the nicknames of the Lantern Festival?The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Little New Year, the Lantern Festival or the Lantern Festival, is held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. It is the last important festival in the Chinese New Year customs. The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, the Chinese character cultural circle and overseas Chinese. The first month of the lunar calendar is the first month of the year. The ancients called "night" "xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon night of the year is called the Lantern Festival. Let’s take a look at some nicknames for the Lantern Festival:1. Shangyuan Festival <br /> In addition to Shangyuan Festival, there are Zhongyuan Festival and Xiayuan Festival, which are on the 15th day of the first month, the 15th day of the seventh month, and the 15th day of the tenth month respectively. There is no consensus on the meaning of the names of the three festivals. However, it is not appropriate to interpret "yuan" as beginning here. 2. Yuan Xi <br /> This does not need much explanation. Xi means after sunset, which is also night. However, it is a little different from Xiao. But let’s talk about Yuan. If Yuan means the beginning literally, then wouldn’t the ancients understand the word Yuan Xi as the night of the first day of the first lunar month? The name is beautiful. I don’t know if it is the pronunciation itself that is beautiful, or the difference between Xi and Xiao is that Xi means after sunset, which can make people have more dynamic associations, or it may be because of Xin Qiji’s poem: The east wind blows thousands of flowers at night, and blows them down like rain. The road is filled with the fragrance of BMW and carved carriages. The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot shines, and the fish and dragons dance all night. The moth is covered with golden threads of snow willow, and leaves with a smile and a faint fragrance. I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was there, standing in the dim lights. In fact, judging from this poem, the name "Lantern Festival" had already become a habit of the ancients. 3. Xiaozhengyue <br /> This name is hard to explain, it would be easier to understand if we say Xiaochunyuan. 4. Spring Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival <br /> This name is meaningful, and it reveals the main custom of this festival: watching lanterns! The firelight at night may be the warmth written in human genes. Origin of Lantern Festival:The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Also known as the Lantern Festival, Yuan Ye, and Lantern Festival. According to legend, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (179-157 BC) would go out of the palace to enjoy himself with the people on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month to celebrate the fact that Zhou Bo put down the Rebellion of the Lü clan. In ancient times, two nights were called "yuan" and the first month was also called "yuan". Therefore, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty designated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the Lantern Festival, and this night was called Yuanxiao. Sima Qian created the Taichu Calendar and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. It flourished during the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties. "Book of Sui·Music" states: "Every first month, all nations came to pay tribute, and they would stay until the 15th day in a theater outside Duanmen and inside Jianguomen, which stretched for eight miles, with plays set up as the theater stage." There were tens of thousands of people participating in the singing and dancing, from dusk to dawn, and ending at the end of the day. With the changes of society and times, the customs and habits of the Lantern Festival have undergone great changes, but it is still a traditional Chinese folk festival. |
