When is the jiepai Lantern Festival?

Jiepai Lantern Festival is on the seventh day of the second lunar month.

Lantern Festival is a long-standing folk activity in jiepai town. It is an important part of longevity culture in South Vietnam, symbolizing people's worship of longevity Buddha and Vulcan, and it is a spiritual sustenance of the people. Records: During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there were many insect disasters in jiepai, resulting in successive years of crop failure. The villagers did their best, but the results were minimal. Later, a local elder of Shengshou Temple asked the local people to play with fire lanterns, so as to get rid of pests and diseases. The local people believe in it and try it, playing with fire lanterns on the seventh night of February. That year, the pests and diseases were really much less than those in previous years, and the crops in jiepai were bumper every year. 20 1 1, jiepai Lantern Festival was listed as the third batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage representative projects.

As far as meeting people's spiritual needs is concerned, the Lantern Festival still plays a huge role, conveying happiness and beautiful feelings to the people, and people are more United and hardworking, which also extends to other aspects, such as education, town style and appearance.
