The solar calendar time corresponding to the lunar calendar is different every year, so the solar calendar time of the Lantern Festival is different every year. The Lantern Festival, also known as the Little New Year, Yuanxiao or Lantern Festival, is the first important festival after the Spring Festival. China has a vast territory and a long history, so the customs of the Lantern Festival are different across the country. Among them, eating Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings), appreciating lanterns, dragon dancing and lion dancing are some important folk customs of the Lantern Festival. What is the meaning of setting off firecrackers on the Lantern Festival?There is a certain relationship between setting off firecrackers on the Lantern Festival and folk tales.According to folk tales, a long time ago, people accidentally killed a divine bird without knowing it. When the Emperor of Heaven found out about this, he was very angry, so he ordered 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 people heard the news, they were so scared that they didn't know what to do. After a long time, someone came up with an idea. 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." 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. So in order to commemorate this success, every household would set off firecrackers and fireworks and hang up lights and decorations to celebrate the festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, there is a custom of setting off firecrackers during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. |
