1, Lantern Festival was called Shangyuan Festival in ancient times, and the ancients called "night" as "night", while the first month was also called January. The night of the fifteenth day of the first month was the first full moon night of the year, so Shangyuan Festival was also called "Lantern Festival". After Liu Bang's death, Lv Hou came to power, and the little emperor Liu was just a decoration. Except that Lv Hou didn't become emperor like Wu Zetian in later generations, his power was no different from that of the emperor. Moreover, she promoted the forces of the Lu family and slaughtered the forces of the Liu family, which caused great contradictions in the court. After Lv Hou's death, Zhu Lu assembled with General Lv Lu and plotted to usurp Liu Jiangshan. Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and zhou bo and Chen Ping, the founding elders, smashed the rebellion plot of Zhulu in one fell swoop on the 15th day of the first month. In order to celebrate this victory, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty decided to decorate every family on the 15th day of the first month every year to celebrate the Lantern Festival, which ended the "Zhulu Rebellion".

2. The Lantern Festival has a long history, and now it is generally believed that it originated in the Han Dynasty. The emperor of the Han dynasty believed in Buddhism, and Buddhism had the habit of lighting lamps on the fifteenth day of the first month to watch the Buddhist relics pray. In order to promote Buddhism in other places, he ordered all the people from the court to light lamps on this day. This gradually formed the prototype of the Lantern Festival. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also set the activity of offering sacrifices to "Taiyi" on this day. With the blessing of offering sacrifices to gods, the Lantern Festival began to be valued by people.

3. As a festival, Lantern Festival grows and expands with the development of history. Formed in the Han Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, because of its strong national strength, lanterns were popular in both the capital and towns, and the fire trees and silver flowers in the city were the favorite flowers in the Tang Dynasty. Lantern Festival has been greatly developed as a lantern festival. The Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty has developed into the most lively carnival, with countless colored lights and fireworks like stars and rain.

4. As a continuation of the New Year, the Lantern Festival is the last climax of Chinese New Year celebrations. Watching lanterns, eating Yuanxiao, setting off fireworks and dancing lions, etc., everyone celebrates spring returns, which is also a good year in advance.
