People light lamps under the kitchen stove on this day, which is called "lighting the stove lamp". In fact, it is because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of lantern festival, is approaching, and each family tries to make lanterns, so it is called the "lamp head" day. In the old days, Nantong started lighting lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month and put them out on the 18th day. There is a saying that "gods watch the lanterns on the 13th and 14th, people watch the lanterns on the 15th and 16th, and ghosts watch the lanterns on the 17th and 18th". There is also a custom of "putting on lanterns with round balls and taking off lanterns with noodles". There is a constant stream of people coming to see the lanterns in the City God Temple.2. Rolling Dragon Lantern <br /> The custom of playing with rolling dragons during the Spring Festival in Digang Town, Fanchang has been passed down for more than 100 years and usually lasts for four days. The 13th day of the first lunar month every year is for testing lanterns, the 14th day is for lighting lanterns, the 15th day is for lighting the main lanterns, and the 16th day is for lighting the round lanterns. In the evening of the lighting test day, six old dragons and several rolling dragons took to the streets for the first time. When the lanterns are first lit, the dragon lanterns begin to move up and down, circling and dancing everywhere. On both sides of the street, every household hung lanterns, burned incense and set off firecrackers. Then, rolling dragons, flower baskets, story lanterns, revolving lanterns, fish lanterns, lion lanterns, rabbit lanterns, butterfly lanterns, and golden pumpkin lanterns all took to the streets. At this time, there is an endless stream of dragon lanterns of various colors on the road, and various colored lanterns are flashing brilliantly. The fun lasts until after three o'clock in the morning, when the lanterns are put away. The lanterns will be played with again the next day until the round lanterns are turned off on the sixteenth day. 3. Make colorful lanterns <br /> The 15th day of the first lunar month is the day for the lantern festival, which usually starts with making colorful lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month.

This is the unique folk handicraft "Tian Di Zi" in Chang'an District. 6. Make a "holy insect" “One doesn’t leave the house until the 15th day of the first lunar month.” On the 13th day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of making “holy insects” in rural Jimo. On this day, women in the village get together in groups of three or five to knead dough, cut, carve, and steam. This is the last “busy” of the Spring Festival and to welcome the Lantern Festival. Lifelike “holy insects” are produced by these skillful hands who carry hoes and touch shovels. 7.
