Lantern Festival Lantern
Festival
。
The Festival of Lanterns
takes place at the end of
the
Chinese
New
Year
Celebration,
on
the
fifteenth
day
of the first moon. Lanterns have been
part of Chinese
life for centuries so
it's not surprising
to see a
festival of lanterns.
People
usually
hang
lanterns
in
the
gardens,
outside the houses, and on the boats.
These lanterns
are
signposts
to
guide
guests
and
spirits
of
ancestors
to
the
Lunar
celebration.
After
a
sumptuous
fifteen-day
feast,
these
lanterns
light
the
way
for
the
spirits
back
to the world beyond.
Silk,
paper
and
plastic
lanterns
vary
in
shape
and
size
and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the
shapes
of
butterflies,
birds,
flowers,
and
boats.
Other
are
shaped
like
dragon,
fruit
and
animal
symbols
of
that
year.
The
most
popular
type
of
lantern
is
the
one,
in
which
figures
or
animals
rotate
around the vertical axis of the
lantern.
The
special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen
Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round
dumplings made with
