What is the meaning of putting lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month?
Lighting on the fifteenth day of the first month symbolizes peaceful reunion, exorcising evil spirits and eliminating disasters, and the future is bright. The origin of Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month: the ancient city of Yangzhou is weak in human feelings and the world is getting worse. The Emperor of Heaven ordered the heartless queen to descend to earth and set fire to the city on the fifteenth night of the first month. Empress Huo Xin came down to earth and became an old woman in the countryside. She met a kind old man in Yangzhou, gave her a lift and gave her the dry food in her pocket. But on the fifteenth night of the first month, Yangzhou City will be cremated. Empress Huo couldn't bear it, so she called the old man to her side and said, You're home. Hang a red lantern at the gate. When the old man came home, he told his daughter-in-law, who was a famous smart person, about hanging lanterns, and told her family. The news spread, and almost every household hung up red lanterns at dark. Therefore, Huo Xin failed to burn down Yangzhou City, and Yangzhou City escaped a bullet. Since then, every year on the 15th day of the first month, Yangzhou people will hang lanterns. Later, this custom spread to the whole Chinese nation, and hanging lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month was a symbol to ward off evil spirits and celebrate.
