The Lantern Festival occurs on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunisolar year. The festival officially ends the Chinese New Year. During the festival, people hang paper lanterns, set off fireworks, and eat dumplings to name a few activities. Some call the Chinese Lantern Festival Chinese Valentine's Day since lover's often celebrate their affection this day. Most legends associated with the festival included putting out lanterns and setting off firecrackers, pretending that the city or village was on fire.
