Visit the temple fair with lanterns.
Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.
Once again, spring returns. On the evening of January, the flower market lights like day.
After beginning of spring’s Lantern Festival, it was warm and cold, and the flowers were not in bloom. Colorful lanterns give the Lantern Festival a spring-like splendor.
The moon is high in the sky, and there are thousands of lanterns on the ground. In ancient times, girls who stayed indoors on weekdays went out to enjoy lanterns and visit temple fairs on the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival creates an opportunity for the implicit China ancients to express their feelings, which is the romance of China people, and describes their love beautifully and tactfully.
With the development of the times and the change of years, today’s young people don’t need festivals like Lantern Festival to get married. The Lantern Festival, as a Chinese Valentine’s Day, has gradually faded away, while the romantic stories of China’s ancient people have remained in the poems that have been told through the ages.
The custom of eating Lantern Festival has been inherited to this day, and it is also the deepest memory of Lantern Festival engraved in the bones of China people. "There is a full moon in the sky, human reunion, and glutinous rice balls in a bowl", and glutinous rice balls (Yuanxiao) have placed China people’s good wishes for the new year. In addition to eating Yuanxiao, there are customs such as solve riddles on the lanterns, fireworks and lion dance in the traditional Lantern Festival. Very lively, prosperous and beautiful.
