What is the origin of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month and the story about it?

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Lantern Festival and Lantern Festival.

Origin: According to legend, Emperor Wendi of the Han Dynasty (179- 157 BC) celebrated the suppression of Zhu Lu's rebellion on the 15th day of the first month. Every night, he will go out to play and have fun with people. In ancient times, night was the same as night, and the first month was also called January. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty designated the fifteenth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival, and this night was called Yuanxiao. Sima Qian founded the taichu calendar, which listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival.

Story: It is said that Yuan Shikai, a national thief, usurped the achievements of the Revolution of 1911 and was bent on restoring the throne, but he was afraid of people's opposition and was always on tenterhooks. One day, he heard people selling Yuanxiao in the street screaming, "Yuanxiao." I think the word "Yuanxiao" is homophonic with "Yuan Xiao", which is suspected of the demise of Yuan Shikai and related to my own fate. So before 19 13 Lantern Festival, it is forbidden to call it "Yuanxiao", and it can only be called "glutinous rice balls" or "fruit powder". However, the word "Yuanxiao" was not cancelled because of his will, and the people did not buy his account, so it was still circulated among the people.

With the changes of society and times, the custom of Lantern Festival has changed greatly, but it is still a traditional folk festival in China.
