In ancient times, the same night was also called January, so the Han emperor will be the fifteenth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival, this night is called Yuanxiao. Since then, the Lantern Festival has become a major festival in China.
元宵节的起源可以追溯到两千多年前的汉朝,相传汉文帝为庆祝周勃于正月十五勘平诸吕之乱,每逢此夜必出宫游玩,与民同乐。在古代,夜同宵正月又称元月,所以汉文帝就将正月十五定为元宵节,这一夜就叫元宵。从此以后,元宵节就成为了中国的一个重大节日。
