Taboos on the twelfth day of the first lunar month:

After the eleventh day of the first lunar month, people begin to prepare to celebrate the Lantern Festival. From the twelfth day of the first lunar month, they start to buy lanterns and put up lantern sheds. The nursery rhyme goes like this: "On the eleventh day, people are chattering; on the twelve day, they set up the lantern shed; on the thirteenth day, they light the lanterns; on the fourteenth day, the lanterns are at full brightness; on the fifteenth day, the moon is half full; on the sixteenth day, they put away the lanterns." The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the "Lantern Festival". It is the first full-moon night of the year and the night when spring comes back to the earth. It is also known as the "Shangyuan Festival". The custom of lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and eating Lantern Festival dumplings and glutinous rice balls is indispensable on this day. The sixteenth night of the first lunar month is a children's festival. All the children take out their lanterns and bump them against other people's lanterns. Then they laugh and watch the other people's lanterns catch fire. This is called "bumping lanterns." What is important is that this year’s lanterns cannot be kept until next year and must be destroyed by “touching the lanterns”.
