The Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, Xiaozhengyue Festival, Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival, takes place on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year. The formation of the Lantern Festival has a long process, which is rooted in the ancient folk custom of turning on lights to pray for blessings. According to general information and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been taken seriously in the Western Han Dynasty, but the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month truly became a national folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties.

The first month of the first lunar month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called "night" "xiao". The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full-moon night of the year, so the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the "Lantern Festival". According to the Taoist "Three Yuan" theory, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also called the "Shangyuan Festival". The Lantern Festival custom has been dominated by the warm and festive lantern viewing custom since ancient times.

The rise of the custom of lighting lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also related to the spread of Buddhism to the east. Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and officials and common people generally "lighted lanterns to worship Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Buddhist lights spread among the people. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, lighting up lanterns during the Lantern Festival has become a legal matter.

The Lantern Festival is one of China's traditional festivals. The Lantern Festival mainly includes a series of traditional folk activities such as lantern viewing, eating glutinous rice balls, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks. In addition, many local Lantern Festivals also include traditional folk performances such as dragon lantern parade, lion dance, stilt walking, land boat rowing, Yangko dancing, and Taiping drum playing. In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
