Lantern Festival


The Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday that falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations and is an occasion for families to get together and enjoy food and festivities.

One of the most popular foods associated with the Lantern Festival is "tangyuan" (汤圆), which are sweet glutinous rice balls typically filled with sweet fillings like sesame paste, peanut butter, or red bean paste. Eating tangyuan symbolizes unity and togetherness.

Another traditional food for the Lantern Festival is "yuanxiao" (元宵), which are similar to tangyuan but are often larger and made with a savory filling instead of a sweet one.

In addition to these sweet treats, families may also enjoy a variety of other foods during the festival, such as dumplings, noodles, and rice cakes. The exact foods consumed during the Lantern Festival can vary depending on regional and personal traditions.
