The Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Chinese have celebrated the Lantern Festival since the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 221 A.D.). On this day, everybody would carry colorful lanterns and then gather in a public place for a big"lantern fair". Fireworks displays and riddle-guessing contests were later incorporated to add to the festivity of the occasion. Also, it is time to eat rice soup dumplings - the dumplings are round, and symbolize family unity and completeness.
