It is the occasion of the first full moon of the New Year. The occasion is marked by feasting and various festivities. In Taiwan it is celebrated as the Lantern Festival. In Southeast Asia it is known as the Chinese Valentine's Day, when young unmarried women gather to toss tangerines into the sea, in a hope that their future spouse will pick it up - a custom that originated in Penang, Malaysia. In the past, this is also the only day that unmarried ladies can be seen with their partners. Note that another festival, Qi Xi is also sometimes referred to as "Chinese Valentine's Day". id:Cap Go Meh Category:Chinese holidays This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
