What did China just celebrate? Thanks to the picture, it shouldn’t be too difficult to guess – on the 15th day of the lunar year, the Lantern Festival (元宵节) traditionally marks the end of the Chinese New Year. All over the country, people marveled at the elaborately crafted lanterns, like here in Bailuzhou Park in Nanjing. On the culinary side of the Festival, sweet dumplings made from sticky rice flour, known as tangyuan (汤圆), are served. Linguistically, they are reminiscent of the word tuanyuan (团圆) for family gatherings. However, these are over for most Chinese people: they returned to work a few days ago.
