The Lantern Festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar year in the Chinese calendar, the last day of the lunisolar Chinese New Year celebration. Children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns. It officially ends the Chinese New Year celebrations.
In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, for only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones. In this times, lanterns could be embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in shapes of animals. In Taiwan, this festival is often regarded as Chinese Zodiac, or the Chinese version of St. Valentine's Day, a day celebrating love and affection between lovers in Chinese tradition and culture.
