Shangyuan is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar, during the full moon.
Let us honor your family, mine and deceased ancestors on the 15th day of the first month (Yuan) of the lunar calendar. The Lantern Festival aims to promote reconciliation, peace, and forgiveness.🏮🏮🏮
China's largest Spring Lantern Festival celebration takes place in Nanjing, the capital of the eastern Jiangsu province, but events are held in other cosmopolitan cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, as well as in rural regions.
