The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar(阴历)．This day is always the first full moon in the new year．Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival．Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty(朝代) and became popular in the Tang Dynasty．

The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes．In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan．Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members．
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫的)．Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other．A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this：

Dear Bob，
It's fantastic that you will come to China and spend the Mid Autumn Festival with a Chinese family．
August 15 of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid Autumn Festival．On that day, all our families get together and have a big dinner．We also eat mooncakes and admire the full moon in the open air at night．
As a guest, you should give proper praise to the host family while they introduce the dishes．Don't use your chopsticks to pick a dish in the plate everywhere．You'd better keep quiet when eating and drinking soup．
Enjoy your stay in China．
Li Hua
