According to the tradition in China, people go to and enjoy the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year.

The Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and was spread among the people because of the power of Boss Zhou and Chen Ping to remove the lu stone. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar calendar, the Han emperor in Wen Jiabao commemorated this day, and the people in the future were together to celebrate the Lantern Festival every year. On this day, the Han emperor, Sima Qian, calendar the Lantern Festival as a folk festival. In the Sui and Song Dynasties, there were "Song Tang Yuan Sui lanterns".

Yuanxiao in the north is called prison ball, which floats round, and Tangyuan in the south is called round and dumplings.

Eating Yuanxiao is a good omen for the full moon group. "Sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing is wrapped in walnuts, and the rice is like the Pearl River. See who is good at dropping powder and try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " ("Shangyuan Zhuzhi Ci")
