The 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival, which is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Night of Lanterns, and the Festival of Lights.

Sima Qian created the Taichu Calendar, which listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival.

Story: Legend has it that after usurping the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai, the master thief, wanted to be restored to the throne and become the emperor, but was afraid of the people's opposition, and spent his days on tenterhooks. One day, he heard the people selling Lantern Festival on the street shouting: "Lantern Festival." Thinking that the word "Yuanxiao" harmonized with the word "Yuan Fade", and that Yuan Shikai was suspected of being annihilated, and associating it with his own destiny, he ordered to prohibit the name "Yuanxiao" before the Lantern Festival in 1913, and could only call it "Tangyuan". So before the Lantern Festival in 1913, it was forbidden to call it "Yuanxiao" and could only call it "Tangyuan" or "Pink Fruit". However, the word "Lantern" was not canceled by his will, the people did not buy his account, as usual in the folklore.

When with the changes in society and the times, the Lantern Festival customs and habits have long had a big change, but is still a traditional Chinese folk festival.
