Celebrating the Lantern Festival: A Unique Tradition of the Chinese New Year

The 15th day of the Chinese New Year marks the Lantern Festival, a vibrant celebration that symbolizes the end of the New Year festivities. Rooted in the lunar-solar calendar, the Chinese often add an extra month periodically to align their calendar with the solar year. This fascinating cycle occurs seven times in a span of 19 years. The Lantern Festival is characterized by colorful lantern displays, family reunions, and traditional foods, making it a joyous occasion for communities to come together and celebrate.
