Tomorrow (February 15) is the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Tiger. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, the ancients called "night" as "supper", and the fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night of the year, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called "Lantern Festival". However, this year's Lantern Festival is different from previous years, because this time the moon will be in its fullest state at 0:56 on February 17.
