The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China when people light lanterns, set off fireworks, eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started?

In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid(哭泣的宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor's garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn't see her family.

Dongfang promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the order of the Jade Emperor. Word spread quickly and people in the city were scared.

The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for advice. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice(糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion that the city was on fire. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor would not set fire.

On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns Yuanxiao's parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns.

From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best glutinous rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao or tangyuan.

There are many different festivals around the world. Usually we know about some traditional ones. But here are some special festivals in the world. Have you heard of them? 

The Straw (稻草) Bear Festival

It is a traditional celebration in one small town in the UK. It runs for three days every year in January. The festival celebrates the beginning of the agricultural year. People there enjoy watching bear dances. A few men wear straw bear costumes (演出服) and dance for others.

The Cologne Carnival (狂欢节)

It is one of Europe's biggest street festivals. It starts at 11:11 a. m. on November 11 and lasts till February 14 next year. Local people call the time the "crazy"season. During the festival, people put on colorful clothes and play music to celebrate it in the street. The festival has a history of 197 years. Each year, about 1.5 million people take part in it.

Day of the Dead

It is celebrated in Mexico every year between October 31 and November 2. It's not a scary day like its name. Instead, it's a colorful holiday. People believe the spirits of their ancestors (祖先) will return to the world of the living on that day. It's believed that sharing food and drinks keeps the spirits alive and the spirits can be with them in this way.
