Lantern Festival 2012 is coming on Feb 6, 2012.


Lantern Festival an important festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar year in the Chinese calendar. It is the last day of the lunisolar Chinese New Year and signs the the end of Spring Festival holiday. In some region and countries, this festival is also regarded as the Chinese version of St. Valentine's Day, a day celebrating love and affection between lovers in Chinese tradition and culture.

In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, for only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones; in modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in shapes of animals.

During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns.

The most important thing is eating yuanxiao (元宵), which is a glutinous rice ball. In Chinese history, the first Yuanxiao was made 800 years ago and Chinese people believe it will give them a good life.
