Shangyuan Festival, also known as Lantern Festival, is one of the traditional festivals in China. On the 15th day of the first lunar month every year, it is called the Lantern Festival because it is the first full moon night in a year. According to Taoism, the 15th day of the first lunar month is also called Shangyuan Festival.
Lantern Festival mainly includes a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, solve riddles on the lanterns and setting off fireworks. In addition, traditional folk performances such as Youlong lanterns, lion dancing, walking on stilts, boating, yangko dancing and playing Taiping drums have been added to the Lantern Festival in many places. In June 28, the Lantern Festival was selected as the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
