The
Lantern Festival
关于元宵节
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th
day of the 1st lunar
month, usually in
February or March in the Gregorian calendar.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty
(206 BC-AD 25), it had
become a
festival with great significance.
This
day's
important
activity
is
watching
lanterns.
Throughout
the
Han
Dynasty
(206
BC-AD
220),
Buddhism
flourished
in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks
would
watch
sarira,
or
remains
from
the
cremation
of
Buddha's
body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on
the
15th
day
of
the
1st
lunar
month,
so
he
ordered
to
light
lanterns in the imperial
palace and temples to show respect to
Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist
rite developed into a
grand
festival
among
common
people
and
its
influence
expanded from the
Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is
still held each year around
the
country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are
hung in
1
the
streets,
attracting
countless
visitors.
Children
will
hold
self-made
or
bought
lanterns
to
stroll
with
on
the
streets,
extremely excited.
"Guessing lantern riddles"is an
essential part of the Festival.
Lantern owners write riddles on a piece
of paper and post
them on the lanterns.
If visitors have solutions to the riddles,
they can pull the paper out and go to
the lantern owners to
check their
answer. If they are right, they will get a little
gift.
The
activity
emerged
during
people's
enjoyment
of
lanterns in
the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is
interesting and full of wisdom, it has
become popular among
all social strata.
People will eat yuanxiao, or rice
dumplings, on this day, so
it
is
also
called
the
"Yuanxiao
Festival."Yuanxiao
also
has
another
name,
tangyuan.
It
is
small
dumpling
balls
made
of
glutinous
rice
flour
with
rose
petals,
sesame,
bean
paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried
fruit, sugar and edible
oil as filling.
T
angyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes
sweet and delicious.
What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese
has a similar pronunciation with
"tuanyuan
”
, meaning
reunion.
So
people eat
them to
denote union, harmony
and
happiness for the family.
