Material Culture:
Material culture refers to the physical objects, resources, and spaces people use to define the culture. The physical lanterns, decorations, and festival foods like tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) are all examples of the material culture associated with the Yuan Xiao festival. The costumes, props, and stages used in the lion and dragon dances are also material aspects of the festival celebrations. The fireworks and firecrackers set off during the festival are physical, tangible elements of the celebrations.

Non-Material Culture:
The traditions, rituals, customs, beliefs, and intangible aspects underlying the festival are non-material. For example, the symbolic meanings behind the round tangyuan representing family reunion and the lion/dragon dances bringing good luck are non-material cultural elements. The celebration's shared sense of community, cultural memories, and social interactions during the festival are also non-material aspects.
Festivals combine the physical, tangible elements (material culture) and the intangible, symbolic aspects (non-material culture) that give the celebration rich cultural significance.


● Hanging Lanterns- most common and practical style
● Flying Lanterns- made of light paper and lifted by the hot air.
● Floating Lanterns are used during festivals near lakes, rivers, or ponds.
