The following are the customs of Lantern Festival in Guangxi:

1. Lantern Festival

__ The custom of Lantern Festival is popular in minority areas in northwest and southwest Guangxi. People put out their own lanterns on the night of Lantern Festival and compete to see who can do it best and skillfully. People not only compete with each other for lights, but also compete with the moon for brilliance. All kinds of lights are hung on trees or placed on the ground to form colorful night scenes. These lights are usually inserted in grapefruit with evil spirits, or incense is used instead of fire, that is, countless incense sticks are inserted in grapefruit to form dots of light. When the lights or incense are naturally extinguished, it means that the 15-day Spring Festival has ended successfully and the new year has begun.

2. Cooking glutinous rice balls and oil balls

__ Eating glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival is a common habit. In Shanglin, Jingxi and other places in Guangxi, there is also the custom of eating oil balls (also called "frying piles" and "oil piles" in some places). The food is different, but the meaning is the same. Both kinds of food are small round balls, indicating reunion. The word "Tuan" of the original "oil ball" is not the word "Tuan" of this reunion, but the word "Yan", which means an action of poking the surface of the oil ball, but with the evolution of time and the integration of culture, it has evolved into the present "Tuan".

3. Stealing Youth

__ The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, commonly known as the first half of the first month. People take the fifteenth to twentieth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival. In the old days, before the Lantern Festival, every household made dumplings with glutinous rice flour. That night, every household cooked dumplings, and the whole family sat around the lamp to eat dumplings, which meant reunion.
