2022 Lantern Festival

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".

According to the Taoist "Three Yuan", the fifteenth day of the first month is also called the "Shangyuan Festival". Since ancient times, the lantern festival customs have been dominated by the warm and festive lantern viewing customs.

The formation of the Lantern Festival has a long process, rooted in the ancient custom of folk turning on lights and praying for blessings. According to general information and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first month has been valued in the Western Han Dynasty, but the lantern festival of the fifteenth day of the first month was really regarded as a national folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties. The rise of the custom of burning lamps on the fifteenth day of the first month is also related to the eastern transmission of Buddhism, when Buddhism was flourishing in the Tang Dynasty, the people of Shiguan generally "lit the lamp for the Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Buddhist lamp was spread throughout the people, and since the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Lantern has become a legal matter.

The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, mainly including a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing flower lanterns, eating tangyuan, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks.

Guess the origin of the riddle

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a rich man, known as the smiling tiger. When he saw a well-dressed man, he desperately tried to tie his head, and when he saw a poor man in a rough shirt, he blew his beard and stared. A young man named Wang Shao, who was once dressed in rags, was once driven out of the gate by him when he went to borrow grain. After Wang Shao went back, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and on the night of the Lantern Festival, he put on a large flower lantern and came to the door of the smiling tiger's house. There is a poem inscribed on this large flower lamp. The smiling tiger stepped forward to watch, only to see that it read:

The tip of the head is as white as silver,

There is no half a millimeter of weighing.

Eyes grow on the ass,

Just recognize clothes and do not recognize people.

The smiling tiger looked at it, blushing with anger, jumping like thunder, and shouting: "Good boy, dare to scold the old man." So he ordered Ding to grab the flower lantern, and Wang Shao busily picked up the flower lamp, smiled and said, "Hey, old man, don't be suspicious, my four poems are a mystery, the mystery is the needle, do you think about it?" How did this needle work for you? Could it be that it was directed at you, otherwise how would you know it was you?" The smiling tiger thought about it, but it was not, but he had to stare dryly, and the gray slipped away, and the people around him laughed happily. After the news spread, it spread farther and farther.

The following year, people followed suit, writing riddles on flower lanterns for people to guess and shoot for fun. In the future, guessing lantern riddles and playing lantern tigers have become important activities of the Lantern Festival.
