Lantern Festival originated from the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an altar in the palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to worship the most distinguished sun god at that time. Because it was held all night, it was necessary to light up all night, which was the beginning of Lantern Festival lighting. After Buddhism was introduced into China from India, due to the combination of Taoist immortal skills and the piety of burning lanterns and honoring Buddha, every night on the fifteenth day of the first month, urban and rural areas were brightly lit, and all the gentry and ordinary people hung lights, forming a unique custom of combining Chinese and Western.
