Chinese Lantern Festival

Hello, fri~

Today,lunar 15^th Jan. is the Lantern Festival of China,which is a very important festival after the Chinese New Year.

The Lantern Festival origins about two thousand years ago. At that time, there was a Buddism religious ritual that buddists would look at the figure of the budda with reverence and light lantern to worship them on the lunar 15^th Jan. The emperor then advocate Buddism, so at that day, he ordered to light lanterns all around the Palace and cities to show his repect to the Budda.
