The origin of Lantern Festival:

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. Lantern Festival viewing began in the period of Emperor Han Ming in the East. Ming Di advocates Buddhism. It is said that in Buddhism, there is a custom that monks watch the relics light up to worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first month, so they ordered that all palaces and temples should light up to worship Buddha on this night, so that all the gentry and ordinary people could hang up lights. Later, this Buddhist ceremonial festival gradually formed a grand folk festival.

This festival has experienced the development process from the court to the people, and from the Central Plains to the whole country. In the Han dynasty, people held torches in rural fields to drive away insects and wild animals, hoping to reduce pests and pray for a bumper harvest. To this day, people in some areas in southwest China still use reeds or branches as torches on the 15th day of the first month, and hold high in groups to dance in fields or grain drying fields.
