Origin of the Lantern Festival
The festival dates back more than 2,000 years and is popularly believed to
be linked to Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Ming, a supporter
of Buddhism, noticed that Buddhist monks would light lanterns in temples
on the fifteenth day of the first month. Therefore, he ordered all households,
temples, and the palace to light lanterns that evening. Over time, this practice
developed into a folk custom.
