The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, and the ancients called the night "supper", so the fifteenth day of the first month was called the "Lantern Festival". As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the Lantern Festival became a very important festival for the Chinese nation. During the Tang Dynasty, the people's customs were civilized and the cultures were blended. When the Lantern Lights are turned on, Chang'an City will temporarily cancel the strict curfew system, and the general public can take to the streets to participate in the happy festival of the Lantern Festival.
