Sending palace lanterns is to hope that my daughter will be lucky and happy after marriage; Sending small lanterns is to wish my daughter a safe pregnancy. In the first winter after her daughter got married, her mother's family used to give her daughter and son-in-law charcoal-based, brazier, stove and other cold-proof appliances for fear that her daughter would catch cold at her husband's house.
In Xi city, Shaanxi province, people will give lanterns during the eighth to fifteenth day of the first month. In the first year, I sent a pair of palace lanterns and a pair of stained glass lamps. I hope my daughter will be lucky after marriage and have children early. If the daughter is pregnant, in addition to the big palace lantern, one or two pairs of small lanterns should be sent to wish her a safe pregnancy.
It is a traditional custom in Xinyang, Henan Province to send lanterns to the dead ancestors during the Lantern Festival to express their grief and wishes.
Legend of sending lanterns:
1, it is said that a long time ago, there were many fierce birds and animals everywhere that hurt people and livestock, so people organized to beat them. A god bird got lost and landed on the earth, but was accidentally shot by an unsuspecting hunter.
Emperor Tian was very angry when he learned that. He immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the world on the fifteenth day of the first month, burning up all human, livestock and property. ?
The daughter of Tiandi is kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so she risked her life and secretly rushed Xiangyun to the world to tell people the news.
When people heard the news, it was like a blow to the head. I'm so scared that I don't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with an idea. He said: "On the 14th, 15th and 16th of the first month, every family decorated their houses, set off firecrackers and set off fireworks. In this way, the emperor will think that people have been burned to death. "
