The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is not the day to welcome the God of Wealth. According to tradition, the God of Wealth will report to the Heavenly Palace at the end of the twelfth lunar month and will not return to the human world until the fifth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, the God of Wealth is usually welcomed on the fifth day of the first lunar month in the new year, and basically not on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Why is the Lantern Festival called the Torch Festival?

The Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival since ancient times. The Lantern Festival began when ancient people held torches in the countryside to drive away insects and animals, hoping to reduce pests and pray for a good harvest. To this day, people in some southwestern China still make torches out of reeds or branches on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and dance in groups in fields or threshing grounds with torches held high. It flourished during the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties. There were tens of thousands of people participating in the singing and dancing, which lasted from dusk to dawn and ended at dusk. With the changes of society and times, the customs and habits of the Lantern Festival have undergone great changes, but it is still a traditional Chinese folk festival.
