Another version is that it was a way for ancient people to worship the moon and stars. Since the first full moon of the new year was significant, they used lanterns as a form of celebration and reverence. People made lanterns in different shapes and sizes, believing it could bring them closer to the celestial beings and bring good luck. They would also hold lantern parades, which gradually became an important part of the Lantern Festival.

One version is that it began with religious activities. As I mentioned before, it was associated with Buddhism. Monks' practice of lighting lanterns influenced the court and then the general public.

Some scholars believe that the Lantern Festival has a connection to ancient agricultural society. After the long winter, when spring was approaching, people held the Lantern Festival to celebrate the coming of a new agricultural cycle. Lighting lanterns was a symbol of hope for a prosperous harvest in the new year. At the same time, it was also a time for people to relax and have fun after the hard work of winter farming preparations.
