自从元宵张灯之俗形成以后，历朝历代都以正月十五张灯观灯为一大盛事。梁简文帝曾写过一篇《列灯赋》："南油俱满，西漆争燃。苏征安息，蜡出龙川。斜晖交映，倒影澄鲜。"描绘当时宫廷在元宵张灯盛况。隋炀帝时，每年正月十五举行盛大晚会，以招待万国来宾和使节。据《隋书·音乐志》记载：元宵庆典甚为隆重，处处张灯结彩，日夜歌舞奏乐，表演者达三万余众，奏乐者达一万八千多人，戏台有八里之长，游玩观灯百姓更是不计其数，通宵达旦，尽情欢乐，热闹非常。在唐代发展成为盛况空前灯市，中唐以后，已发展成为全民性狂欢节。
唐玄宗(公元685——762)时开元盛世，长安灯市规模很大，燃灯五万盏，花灯花样繁多，皇帝命人做巨型灯楼，广达20间，高150尺，金光璀璨，极为壮观。唐代是实行宵禁，夜晚禁鼓一响就禁止出行，犯夜要受处罚;唯独在上元节，皇帝特许开禁三天，称为"放夜"。沿至宋朝，张灯由三夜延长至五夜，灯彩以外还放焰火，表演各种杂耍，情景更加热闹。《东京梦华录》中记载：每逢灯节，开封御街上，万盏彩灯垒成灯山，花灯焰火，金碧相射，锦绣交辉。京都少女载歌载舞，万众围观。"游人集御街两廊下，奇术异能，歌舞百戏，鳞鳞相切，乐音喧杂十余里。"大街小巷，茶坊酒肆灯烛齐燃，锣鼓声声，鞭炮齐鸣，百里灯火不绝。
到明代，朱元璋在金陵即位后，为使京城繁华热闹，又规定正月初八上灯，十七落灯，连张十夜，家家户户都悬挂五色灯彩，彩灯上描绘各种人物，舞姿翩翩，鸟飞花放。龙腾鱼跃，花灯焰火照耀通宵。鼓乐游乐.喧闹达旦，这是我国最长灯节，清代，满族入主中原，宫廷不再办灯会，民间灯会却仍然壮观。日期缩短为五天，一直延续到今天。
