Customs of the Lantern Festival

Eat Tangyuan during the Lantern Festival

When talking about the customs of the Lantern Festival, the first thing to introduce is eating glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival. Eating glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival is not only a long-standing custom in China, but also symbolizes reunion and sweetness.

Enjoying Lanterns during the Lantern Festival

On the night of the Lantern Festival every year, we can see all kinds of lanterns in the streets and alleys. Viewing lanterns is also an activity of the Lantern Festival. In some places, there is not only the activity of appreciating lanterns, but also the activity of "sending lanterns". Generally, the girl's family sends lanterns to the family of the newly married daughter. Because "lantern" and "ding" are homophones, it means that the daughter will be blessed with good luck after marriage and give birth to a son soon.

Lantern Riddles

In addition to viewing lanterns, the Lantern Festival is also accompanied by a series of lively activities such as guessing lantern riddles and watching fireworks. Because riddles can enlighten the mind and are interesting, various riddle-solving activities are held across the country during the Lantern Festival.
