古人称“夜”为“霄”，农历正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，所以称为“元宵节”。
元宵节起源于汉朝，据说是汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设。汉武帝时,“太一神”的祭祀活动在正月十五，司马迁在“太初历”中就把元宵节列为重大节日。在节日这天，全家人一起吃元宵或汤圆，“汤圆”与“团圆”字音相近，象征着团团圆圆，和睦相处。此外，跟春节的家人团聚不同，元宵节还是大家走出家门，参与投入到群体活动中的节日。
The ancients called “night” as “xiao”, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full moon night in the year, so it is called “Lantern Festival”.
The Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty. In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activity of “Taiyi God” was on the fifteenth day of the first month, and Sima Qian listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival in the “Taichu Calendar”. On the festival day, the whole family eats Yuanxiao or Tangyuan together. In addition, the family reunion during the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is a festival where everyone goes out of their homes and participates in group activities.
