Do we need to test the lights on the 14th day of the first lunar month?

Yes, there is a custom of testing lanterns on the 14th day of the first lunar month.
In order to prepare for the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Chinese people and the imperial court would build lantern sheds, hang lanterns and decorations, and do some preparatory activities for entertainment programs, which was called "testing the lanterns" in order to welcome the annual Lantern Festival. As for the vendors selling lanterns in the market, they have already prepared all kinds of lanterns to sell, which has become a "lantern market".
Taizhou's Lantern Festival has a special tradition. The Lantern Festival is usually celebrated on the 14th day of the first lunar month. There is also an anecdote here. It is said that there was a magistrate in Linhai's history. His mother was a Buddhist and they had to eat vegetarian food on the 15th day of the first lunar month. However, the New Year's soup itself contains meat. So the magistrate changed the time of the Lantern Festival to the 14th day of the first lunar month to avoid the fasting day. Because the Lantern Festival is moved forward one day, on the contrary, the Mid-Autumn Festival is pushed back one day. Therefore, the most traditional way in Taizhou area is to celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 14th day of the first lunar month and the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 16th day of August. This is very different from other areas in Zhejiang.
Therefore, there is a custom of testing lanterns on the 14th day of the first lunar month.
