Lantern Festival observed on the first full moon in a lunar year; the Feast of Lanterns; the Lantern Festival. 元宵節
The Lantern Festival or the Spring Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations,[1] and usually falls on some day 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.[2] During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns (simplified Chinese: 猜灯谜; traditional Chinese: 猜燈謎; pinyin: cāidēngmí; Jyutping:
History[edit]
The first month of the Chinese Lunar month is called the yuan month, and night means "Xiao" so it is called the yuan xiao (元宵) Festival in China.[9] The fifteenth day is the first full moon of that lunisolar year. According to Taoist tradition, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shàngyuán, corresponds to the "Official of light" who enjoys colourful and light objects, so there should be heaps and heaps of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. people will try to solve puzzles on lanterns, eat lots of food like glutinous rice balls named after the festival, (also known as tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán) and enjoy a family reunion
華人元宵節活動有悠久歷史,亦稱為上元節、小正月、元夕、小年或燈節,閩南語稱為元宵(台羅,下同:guân-siau)、元宵節(guân-siau-tseh)、上元(siōng-guân)、正月半(tsiann-gue̍h-puànn)。時間是每年的農曆正月十五。這天是農曆新年的第一個月圓之夜,象徵著春天的到來,華人傳統會吃元宵、賞花燈、猜燈謎,以示祝賀。這是傳統新春定義的最後一天,亦是春節假期之後的第一個重要節日。中國明朝錢塘瞿佑《雙頭牡丹燈記》:「每歲元夕,於明州張燈五夜。傾城士女,皆得縱觀」。青年男女外出觀燈並趁機結識、相會,所以也有「中國情人節」的別稱[1]。 佛教有在正月十五點燈供佛的習俗。而道教中,上元節為天官大帝(一說為堯)誕辰,正月十五為上元,七月十五為中元,十月十五為下元,分別屬天、地、水這三官大帝主管。上元節乃天官華誕,故燃燈以慶。終唐一代,朝廷皆正式祭拜。
