Xingning Lantern Festival, also known as Lantern Festival, is a Hakka folk custom and an important festival for the people of Xingning. It is similar to the Lantern Festival in other places, but also unique. The 15th day of the first lunar month is the traditional Lantern Festival of the Chinese nation. During the day, relatives and friends gather to eat glutinous rice balls, and at night, they watch lanterns and go out to watch the moon. It is not fixed on the 15th day of the first lunar month, but from the 8th to the 18th day of the first lunar month, which lasts for 11 days. The day when the Hakka people first moved to Xingning was called "Warm Lantern". When the Hakka people first moved to Xingning, there were very few people and they were weak, so they had the mentality of giving birth to more male children. Because Ding and Lantern are homophones, giving birth to male children is called "adding a new child", so they celebrated it warmly during the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival has a dual meaning, one is to watch the color of the lanterns, and the other is to celebrate the addition of a child. Xingning Lantern Festival is rich in content and more lively than the Spring Festival. Before the festival, local tribesmen must order "lanterns" and then send people to the county town or market town to get the "lanterns". They beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to carry the "lanterns" back and hang them under the beams in the upper hall of the ancestral house. During the Lantern Festival, the whole house is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Relatives and friends come to every household to beat gongs and drums, hold banquets, dance dragons and lions, set off fireworks and firecrackers, and some "burn fireworks", set off "Kongming lanterns", and hold torches (also known as the "Torch Festival"). Families with new children will set up wine and guess numbers (guessing numbers) in the hall of the ancestral house. The person who guesses the number must first recite the auspicious words "add a child and make a fortune" to make the participants of the lantern festival have a good time.
