The Chinese Lantern Festival is celebrated with traditions that include lantern displays, family reunions, and solving riddles. Lanterns are decorated and exhibited, symbolizing the arrival of spring and promoting good fortune. Families gather to enjoy festive meals, often featuring glutinous rice dumplings (tangyuan), which represent family unity. Cultural performances, such as lion dances and traditional music, add vibrancy to the celebration. The festival encapsulates the essence of hope and renewal while fostering community spirit, allowing generations to come together and honor shared heritage.
