Shangyuan Festival is also our Lantern Festival. It is the first full moon after our year, so we Chinese attach great importance to this festival.
We think that in Taiwan, the treasured island of the motherland, we have actually celebrated the Lantern Festival since we were young. Today, due to the epidemic, our Taiwan compatriots in Han cannot go back to celebrate the New Year. We Taiwanese can celebrate this festival in Wuchang.
