It is said that the Lantern Festival was set up to commemorate "Pinglu" during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. After the death of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, the son of empress Lu, ascended the throne as emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.传说元宵节是汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设。汉高祖刘邦死后,吕后之子刘盈登基为汉惠帝。After the death of emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, empress Lu took charge of the court and turned Liu"s world into Lv"s world. The old ministers and Liu"s clan in the court were deeply indignant, but they were afraid of empress Lu"s cruelty and dared not speak.汉惠帝病死后吕后独揽朝政把刘氏天下变成了吕氏天下,朝中老臣、刘氏宗室深感愤慨,但都惧怕吕后残暴而敢怒不敢言。After empress Lu died of illness, zhulv was in panic and afraid of being hurt and excluded. Therefore, they gathered secretly in the house of general Lu Lu and conspired to make trouble, so as to completely seize Liu"s territory.吕后病死后,诸吕惶惶不安害怕遭到伤害和排挤。于是,在上将军吕禄家中秘密集合,共谋作乱之事,以便彻底夺取刘氏江山。The matter was heard by Liu Xiang, the king of Qi in Liu"s clan. In order to protect Liu"s territory, Liu Xiang decided to fight against Zhu Lu. Then he contacted Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, the founding ministers, designed to lift LV Lu, and finally the "chaos of Zhu Lu" was completely put down.此事传至刘氏宗室齐王刘襄耳中,刘襄为保刘氏江山,决定起兵讨伐诸吕随后与开国老臣周勃、陈平取得联系,设计解除了吕禄,“诸吕之乱”终于被彻底平定。After the uprising, all the ministers supported Liu Heng, the fourth son of Liu Bang, to ascend the throne, known as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen felt that peace and prosperity were hard won.平乱之后,众臣拥立刘邦的第四个儿子刘恒登基,称汉文帝。文帝深感太平盛世来之不易。The 15th day of the first month, which calmed down the "chaos of zhulv", was designated as the day of sharing happiness with the people, and every family in the capital was decorated with lanterns to celebrate. Since then, the 15th day of the first month has become a folk festival celebrated all over the world - "Lantern Festival".便把平息“诸吕之乱”的正月十五,定为与民同乐日,京城里家家张灯结彩,以示庆祝。从此,正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日——“闹元宵”。During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were scheduled on the 15th day of the first month.It is said that Sima Qian identified the Lantern Festival as a major festival when he founded the "Taichu calendar".汉武帝时,“太一神”的祭祀活动定在正月十五。据说司马迁创建“太初历”时,就已将元宵节确定为重大节日。
