Folk culture illuminates Lantern Festival
China DailyCostumed stilt walkers entertain onlookers last week in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia autonomous region as part of celebrations marking Lantern Festival. This year, Lantern Festival falls on Sunday, marking the official end of the Spring Festival celebrations in China. Observed on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, when a full moon appears in the sky, Lantern Festival symbolizes unity. Traditionally, as the name of the festival implies, people light lanterns, play caidengmi, attend temple fairs, enjoy the sight of the bright moon and eat food particular to this time of the year such as yuanxiao, which are glutinous rice balls with sweet fillings, or tangyuan, which is a sweet glutinous rice dumpling.
