It is an ancient folk custom in which people would light lanterns and scatter them everywhere in their homes on the evening of the 13th to 16th day of the first lunar month to ward off bad luck. Scattered lanterns are also called "scattered villains". Fu Cha Dunchong, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, recorded in "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji·Shun Xing": "From the 13th to the 16th, lanterns are lit from the inner hall to the main door. This is called scattered lantern flowers, or scattered villains. It also means to ward off bad luck." As an ancient folk culture of the Han nationality, "lantern flowers" are made of ordinary crepe paper. Generally, five colors are selected and even numbers are absolutely not allowed. The production process of lamp florets is also very particular. You must wash your hands before doing it, and prepare a damp clean towel, because your hands will easily become slippery when "twisting" the lamp florets and you will not be able to "twist" the lamp florets. The lamp wicks must be "twisted", and they cannot be "twisted" or "pinched". There is a lot of knowledge involved. After "twisting" a certain number of lamp wicks, they should be placed in a clean container. One day before "scattering the lamp wicks", a little sesame oil should be lit on the lamp wicks so that the lamp wicks are completely soaked in sesame oil. There should not be too much sesame oil, otherwise the lamp wicks will be "held to death" and cannot be easily lit when scattering the lamp wicks. When it is time to scatter lantern flowers, every household will take out the prepared "lantern flowers", and the whole family, young and old, will start to "scatter lantern flowers" in every corner of the house and yard. Scattering them out of the house will take away the bad luck of the year, and at the same time good luck will come.Summary: The above article is a detailed introduction to the custom of "scattering lanterns" on the 13th day of the first lunar month.
