The 15th day of the first lunar month, the first full moon after the Spring Festival, is the occasion for the Lantern Festival (Yuan Xiao Jie). It is customary to eat special sweet dumplings called yuanxiao and enjoy displayed lanterns during this festival. Yuanxiao, round balls made of glutinous rice flour stuffed with sugar fillings, symbolize reunion.
The Lantern Festival (Yuan Xiao Jie), also called Yuan Xiao Jie, was celebrated at the fifteen day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of New Year’s celebrations, also the first time to see a full moon of that year in Lunar Calendar.
