The Lantern Festival is an important traditional Chinese festival，which is on the 15thof the first lunar(农历)month. This year，it falls on February 15th.
The Lantern Festival is a time for people to have fun. At night, people go to streets, watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles and releasing (放) sky lanterns or river lights. And all the family members get together to enjoy the special food called yuanxiao.
Watching lanterns is one of the most popular things to do during the festival. Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals, fruits, vegetables and other things. Riddles are written on pieces of paper and posted on the lanterns. Rabbit lanterns with wheels are fun for children. Why It might have something to do with a Chinese folk story about a jade rabbit (玉兔) that lives on the moon. People hold the Lantern Festival on the first full moon of the year, so rabbits are big parts of the festival as well.
In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns (Kongming Lanterns). A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with a small fire at the bottom. When the bright lanterns fly high in the sky, people make wishes for their family members. Releasing river lights is also a way to give wishes to each other. Usually, the lights are in the shape of a lotus(莲花).
Another important tradition for the Lantern Festival is eating small round dumpling balls called yuanxiao or tangyuan. The dumplings are as big as ping pong balls. The fillings inside are sweet or salty, which differ from northern to southern China. Guizhou is famous for yuanxiao made with chicken. Today, you can also find some strange fillings, such as chocolate and fruit. Anyway, yuanxiao has always been a symbol of happiness and unity in China.
