What's the story about the origin of Lantern Festival?
Lantern Festival was established by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty to commemorate the Pinglu Rebellion.

According to legend, after Lv Hou's death, Lu Yi planned a rebellion for fear of being marginalized. Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and Zhou Bo and other heroes put down the "chaos of all roads" together. After the rebellion, all the ministers supported the King as the emperor of China. Deeply impressed by the hard-won peace and prosperity, Emperor Wendi designated the 15th day of the first month of the first month to quell the "Rebellion among the Lus" as a fun day with the people, and every household in Beijing celebrated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Since then, the fifteenth day of the first month has become a folk festival celebrated all over the world.

Lantern Festival culture

Judging from the traditional Spring Festival culture in China, the Lantern Festival is only one of the important parts of the Spring Festival. The custom of Spring Festival in ancient China lasted for one and a half months. The long Spring Festival has to go through three stages: preparing for the New Year, celebrating the New Year and celebrating the New Year. It was the Spring Festival from the 23rd lunar month to the 15th Lantern Festival in the first month.

If we compare the trilogy, the Lantern Festival, the end of the Spring Festival, is the climax of the Spring Festival trilogy in China. Lantern Festival is regarded as the last climax of the Spring Festival, because after this day, people really enter the new year's work, so people all over the country celebrate the Lantern Festival and pray for God to bless the good weather in the coming year.
