1, it is said that a long time ago, there were many fierce birds and animals everywhere that hurt people and livestock, so people organized to beat them. A god bird got lost and landed on the earth, but was accidentally shot by an unsuspecting hunter. The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he learned that. He immediately issued a decree, ordering the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the land on the fifteenth day of the first month, burning all the people, livestock and property.

The daughter of Emperor Tiandi was kind-hearted, and could not bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so she risked her life and secretly rushed Xiangyun to the world to tell the people the news. When people heard the news, it was like a blow to the head. I'm so scared that I don't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with an idea. He said, "On the 14th, 15th and 16th of the first month, every household lights candles at the door. In this way, the emperor will think that people have been burned to death. "

Everyone nodded and said yes, and they were ready to go separately. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor looked down and found that for three consecutive nights, the world was red and the noise was deafening. He thought it was the flame of a big fire, and soon. In this way, people saved their lives and property. To commemorate this success, from now on, every household will light candles, hang lanterns and set off fireworks to commemorate this day.
