The Origin of the Lantern Festival During the "Torch Festival", people in the Han Dynasty held torches in the countryside to drive away insects and beasts, hoping to reduce insect pests and pray for a good harvest. To this day, people in some areas of southwestern China still make torches out of reeds or tree branches on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and hold the torches high in groups to dance in fields or drying fields.

Since the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, it has become even more prosperous. Tens of thousands of singers and dancers participated in the performance, from dusk to dawn, and then stopped at dusk. With the changes of society and times, the customs and habits of the Lantern Festival have already changed greatly, but it is still a traditional Chinese folk festival, and the torches have gradually turned into lanterns.

Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival has developed into a national carnival in our country. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is the most thorough and typical traditional festival that embodies traditional festival customs.
