In terms of religion, the development of the Lantern Festival can be traced back to the late Qin Dynasty when "the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was lit to worship the Taoist Taiyi God".
At the same time, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Taoist heavenly official, the first month of the lunar calendar.

In history, during the Western Han Dynasty, after the death of Empress Lu, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty coincided with the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after sweeping away the rebellion of Zhulu, so he went out of the palace to play and have fun with the people to commemorate.
During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Taiyi Ancestral Altar was built in the Ganquan Palace, and the Taiyi God was sacrificed with grand lamps all night long, and the custom of fifteen lanterns in the first month was gradually produced.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the people also followed suit and lit lamps to worship the Buddha, so the custom of lighting lamps during the Lantern Festival was gradually formed.

Lantern Festival lighting He pretended that there was a god of fire descending to earth, and there would be a fire, so let everyone make rice balls, set off firecrackers, and light lanterns, so as to have the opportunity for the Lantern Festival girl to go out of the palace and meet her family.
Later, in order to commemorate the Lantern Festival girl, people began to carry out activities such as the Lantern Festival on this day, and ate rice balls, lit lanterns, and set off fireworks.
Of course, in addition to the legend, the biggest theme of the Lantern Festival is "reunion", even if it is separated by thousands of mountains, when the bright moon rises, it is also the moment of the end of the world.
In the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is a summary; In the mood, it is also a kind of release, is a rare ease and warmth, the homecoming wanderer can really let go of all the burdens and worries at home, and have the courage and strength to embark on a new journey.

Holding the largest party with the power of the whole country, although it shows the strength of the country, it has to be said to be an extravagant move, which makes people sigh.
Although Tang Ruizong's sense of existence is not as high as that of his son Tang Xuanzong, his performance art is not lost at all.
According to records, he once made a lamp tree outside the Anfu Gate, 20 zhang high, let more than 1,000 women, step on the lamp wheel and sing, the lamp tree towers to the sky, the song is like a cloud, what kind of fairy scene is this.
Just as Su Wei's poem "The fire tree and silver flowers are together, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened." The dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes one by one. ”
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Jinwu relaxes the ban, and the night walk is permitted, and people go out of the house to indulge in the bright moon of the star bridge, the fire tree and the silver flowers, enjoy the lantern feast, make friends with songs, and enjoy a rare happy time.
The night of the Lantern Festival in the TV series "Qingping Le".
In "Tokyo Menghualu Lantern Festival": On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, visitors gather under the two corridors of the Royal Street, thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing. The scales are tangential, and the music is noisy for more than ten miles......For the Song Dynasty, where the secular life was extremely developed, its Lantern Festival was all-encompassing and amazing, as can be seen from "Tokyo Menghualu".

The partial picture of the Lantern Festival of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty includes many scenes such as setting off fireworks, enjoying palace lanterns, costume parades, juggling performances, and foreign envoys offering treasures.
The nobles of the palace also ingeniously moved the folk market into the palace to feel the rare red dust interest of the royal family.
Among them, the most special is the "Aoshan lantern shed" which is the lantern shed made of pine and cypress, because it imitates the shape of the giant ao, so it is named, among which the lantern shed hangs various color lamps, there are eight immortals between them, festive very, full of interest.
The Lantern Festival of Aoshan Lantern Shed, in the words of Xin Qiji, in the poems of Su Wei, and in the pen of the ancients, it is so vivid and interesting, so affectionate.
The lights are bright, beautiful, I can't tell the aroma of **, and I can't see enough to be ** song and dance.
The fire tree and silver flowers, in the dark night, are like meteors, sprinkled with thousands of points, dazzling and dreamy;
The horse carved car, in the lights such as the fairy palace in the world, the fragrance is overflowing, and the dream is heavy.
Lantern Festival, a dream festival Of course, the Lantern Festival must mention its must-have delicacy - tangyuan or Lantern Festival.
Tangyuan originated in Mingzhou of the Song Dynasty (now Ningbo, Zhejiang), with black sesame seeds, lard to make the filling, add a little sugar, the outside with glutinous rice flour to rub into a circle, after cooking, taste sweet and soft glutinous, long aftertaste.
The glutinous rice balls are generally filled with sesame seeds, bean paste, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc., wrapped into a circle with glutinous rice flour, which can be meat or vegetarian, with different flavors, and can be boiled, fried, steamed, etc.
Lantern Festival is slightly different from tangyuan in that it is rolled with dry powder, the filling is smaller, the powder is more, and the fat content is lower than that of tangyuan, but the starch is more difficult to digest than tangyuan.
Of course, both tangyuan and lantern festival represent the meaning of happy reunion, and they are indispensable delicacies at this time, but we must pay attention to moderation.
Tangyuan represents the reunion of the world, and the Lantern Festival has multiple identities in addition to praying for blessings, reunions, lantern viewing and riddles, such as carnival and Valentine's Day, so it is also the most free traditional festival.
In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an relaxed the night ban around the Lantern Festival, and in the Sui Dynasty, people wore animal masks, men and women's clothes, advocating excellent miscellaneous tricks, and strange shapes.
It can be said that its battle is not inferior to the current cosplay comic convention, but I didn't expect that there would be ** bigwigs at that time, which can be said to be a veritable avant-garde carnival.

I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.In the Song Dynasty, women were allowed to travel all night, and at the same time, the emperor would also come to the market to have fun with the people.
Unmarried men and women dress up carefully on this day, and guess riddles by watching lanterns to meet their favorite objects, which is also an important identity of the Lantern Festival as a Chinese Valentine's Day.
Ouyang Xiu's "Shengchazi Yuanxi" has the romance of watching flowers and admiring the moon, as well as the torture of not seeing it, the sadness of passing by, and the pain of not being able to love, which is about the beauty of romance and pain.
Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi" has become a swan song for the ages, with thousands of flowers, fragrant roads, fish and dragon dances, but he has no intention of being greedy and only follows the gaze of one person.
I never thought that after several turnovers, I suddenly looked back, it turned out that you have always been here, wonderful fate, special waiting.

It is also like this moon lacks a full moon, which is always changing, people love perfection, but in fact accept the incompleteness of the real world and life, but still believe in and pursue the process of ideals is the most moving.
