Lantern Festival (Chinese festival) (Chinese festivals, cultural holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Festival celebrated in China and other Asian countries, and elsewhere by people of Asian descent; it marks the last day of the lunar New Year celebration, on the first full moon night of the 15th day of the first lunar month. The festival has its origin in the religious rituals of the imperial palace, dating to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). In time, the festival merged with other folk customs, such as lighting candles to honor Buddha or to pray for blessings on the holy birthday of Tian Guan. Customs observed in this festival symbolize family reunion and a blissful life.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 於每年的第一個月圓夜，即農曆一月十五日舉行。元宵最早可溯及漢代，起源與宮中祭神有關，爾後又加入了佛教燃燈禮佛，道教慶祀天官大帝華誕點燈祈福的信仰活動，並在發展過程中逐漸與民間習俗相融合。這天人們會有吃元宵、看花燈、猜燈謎等習俗，用以象徵闔家團圓、生活美滿。另外，元宵為中國農曆年節之後的第一個重大節日，這天亦被視作為新舊年交接的句點。 |
| Dutch ..... Festival dat gevierd wordt in China en andere Aziatische landen, en elders door mensen van Aziatische afkomst; het is de laatste dag van de nieuwjaarsviering van de maankalender en vindt plaats met de volle maan op de vijftiende dag van de eerste maanmaand. Het komt voort uit de religieuze rituelen van het keizerlijk paleis, die teruggaan tot de Han-dynastie (206 v.Chr. tot 220 n.Chr.). Na verloop van tijd nam het festival andere volksgewoontes in zich op, zoals het aansteken van kaarsen om de Boeddha te eren of voor een zegening te bidden op de heilige verjaardag van Tian Guan. De gebruiken die op deze dag in acht worden genomen, symboliseren de hereniging van familieleden en een gelukkig leven. |
