The origin and legend of Lantern Festival 30 words
Lantern Festival has a long history. It is said that in ancient times, a god bird was shot dead by a hunter. Knowing the wrath of heaven, the Emperor of Heaven ordered the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the ground on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The daughter of the Emperor of Heaven told the world about it, and an old man came up with an idea: to set off red lanterns, firecrackers and fireworks on the 14th, 15th and 16th of the first month. Then the Emperor of Heaven will think that people have been burned to death.

The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "dawn" and the fifteenth day is the first full moon night in a year, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the Lantern Festival. Also known as the first lunar month, Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival, it is the first important festival after the Spring Festival.

In the ancient customs of the Han nationality, Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), Zhongyuan Festival (Orchid Festival) and Xiayuan Festival (Water Festival) are all very traditional and important festivals. Eating Yuanxiao, enjoying lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns are several important folk customs.
