The Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on Feb. 15 2022. Traditionally, the Lantern Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. It marks the official end of the long holiday of Spring Festival. As the first full moon in the lunar New Year, it also symbolizes unity and perfection. People across China enjoy this day by hanging up lanterns and festoons, eating "Yuan Xiao" (a sweet rice dumpling), attending temple fairs and guessing lantern riddles (a special word-game).
