Lantern Festival (摘自網路文章)
元宵節的由來
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

Here is a story of Yuanxiao. (元宵)

Long ago, there was a palace maid named Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao was very homesick. She missed her family and wanted to see them, but she could not leave the palace because she was the Emperor’s maid.

But Yuanxiao was very smart and came up with a plan to visit her family. One day, Yuanxiao told the Emperor that the God of Fire visited her and said that he was going to burn down the entire city, and that the only way to stop him was to make it look like the city was already on fire. The Emperor took this warning very seriously. To make the city look like it was on fire, he ordered that bright lanterns be hung all over the city streets, and tons of firecrackers be lit. That evening, the Emperor’s palace and the entire city was filled with activity.

Everyone was busy making and hanging lanterns, and firecrackers were exploding all around. Because everyone was distracted by their work and the noise of the firecrackers, Yuanxiao was able to sneak out of the palace and visit her family for a joyous family reunion.
