After having done a bit of research myself, I think I have a clear and correct answer.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb  e. E0 R6 S6 ^; g$ Y5 T9 A
If no one post the correct one by Friday night, I will post my answer here on Saturday; the Chinese Lantern Day(元宵节).公仔箱論壇! r0 E5 p8 Q& i' I
Traditionally, this day is celebrated by 吃汤圆, 赏花灯, 猜灯谜, and having a drink together, right?.

bchew

农历每年有廿四节气,农历每月有两个节气.“上半年来六廿一,下半年来八廿三”,这是以阳历来推算节气的日期.7月份以前,每月两个节气的日期,多在 阳历6日或21日,下半年每月的两个节气多在阳历的8日或23日.有时也相差一两天.所以口诀中又有“每月两节日期定,最多相差一两天”一句
! k7 S/ z7 _$ ^. Z& e; Y% q; i" X5.39.217.76These twenty-four solar terms each suggest the position of the sun every time it travels15 degrees on the ecliptic longitude. In each month there are often two solar terms; the first one is generally named 'Jie Qi' and the other one 'Zhong Qi'. Their dates are mirrored by the Gregorian calendar, during the first half of a year 'Jie Qi' is around the 6th day of a solar month, 'Zhong Qi' around the 21st; in the second half of a year, 'Jie Qi' is around the 8th and 'Zhong Qi' around the 23rd.
