In the first month, the Lantern Festival is a grand folk festival. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the emperor's quasi-noble concubine Yuan Chun was fifteen provinces, and the Jia family carefully prepared for this, and the day of the Lantern Festival was full of light.
In the garden, the tent dances the dragon, the curtain flying embroidered phoenix, the gold and silver are radiant, the jewelry is radiant, the incense of the burning lily, and the bottle is inserted with the bud of the periwinkle.
The more luxurious and rich the festive costumes, the more bitter Yuan Chun's heart became. The thousands of loneliness and desolation of the concubines of the deep palace made her feel sad during the festival, and she missed the peaceful days of the reunion of flesh and bones when she was in Jia Province.
Habitual pampering laughs at your stupidity, and the rhombus flowers are empty to the snow.
After the Lantern Festival, it is time for the smoke to extinguish the fire.
The fate of Xiao Yinglian in "Dream of the Red Chamber" changed instantly during the Lantern Festival when she was three years old. Sorrow and joy, misfortune and blessing, she has not yet been involved in the world, has experienced the impermanence of life, and the suffering of life is like the heart of a lotus child.
In ancient times, unmarried women did not easily show their faces, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, young women could step out of the boudoir, admire the flower lanterns, and guess the riddles. It's also a romantic day of encountering love.
"Sheng Cha Zi , New Year's Eve"
Song Ouyang Xiu
On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day.
The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk.
On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there.
Not seeing last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves.
On the night of the Lantern Festival in the past, the lanterns reflected in the street market, as bright as during the day. The moon rises in the treetops, and the people who love each other make an appointment to meet.
At this time, it is the Lantern Festival, the moon is still rising, and the flower lanterns are still brilliant. The beauty remains the same, but the person who loves it is never seen again. The woman's tears of lovesickness wet the sleeves and wet the heart.
When I was a child, I spent the Lantern Festival, which was extremely lively. At night in the small town, the red is glowing. The most prosperous street in the county, two streets are hung with lanterns. People appreciate the lights, all kinds of lights. Hexagonal palace lights, red gauze lights, cellophane lanterns, organ lanterns, rabbit lights. Some people were even cast by the anagram embellished on the lantern, and they could not move their steps, and they had to guess the riddle and then continue to go forward to admire the lamp.
Writer Chi Zijian was born on the Lantern Festival, and her nickname is Yinglan, a warm and bright name. Every Lantern Festival, she would remember the glass lanterns made by her father. As soon as the boiling water burns off the bottom of the canned bottle, the crystal transparent lampshade is formed. The log board is the base, and the small candle is inserted, and the beautiful glass lantern is ready. She happily lit lanterns, and spent one Lantern Festival after another in the cold winter of Hebei Pole Village in the northern desert. It was the everlasting light in her memory.
In ancient times, the Lantern Festival not only looked at the lanterns, but also looked at the society.
《Guan She》
Song Yang Wanli
The shrine has a foot view, and the mountain farmers pray for blessings to welcome the New Year.
Suddenly, where the drums came from, it was the most pitiful to kill children.
Tiger-faced leopard heads take care of themselves, and wild city dances compete for each other.
The prince will be honored and honorable, and will not be embarrassed by Qu Nong.
The Spring Shrine worships the earth god, and the mountain people pray for the coming year to be blessed with smooth winds and rains, and celebrate the New Year. Children run all the way to the sound of drums, and they are the most cute and delicate. The actor on the stage wore a mask to perform, dressed as a tiger and leopard, turned his head and turned around and turned around. The villagers danced and sang so much joy! Even if the prince's status is incomparably noble, he will not be able to enjoy a moment of free and unrestrained pleasure of the mountain people.

The fourteenth to sixteenth days of the first month are full of diseases, the weather is sunny and warm, the spring is harmonious, and the social fire performance is also in these days.
There were adults and children performing on stilts, all dressed in costumes and painted with theatrical oil paint on their faces. Watching the childish child step on stilts, the audience sighed and admired, but also a little worried, for the child who performed. The child was very calm and self-assured, walking steadily, and there was some small arrogance on his face.
The performance of the float is the most beautiful. Restore a certain scene of the Famous Passage of the Qin Cavity, such as killing a dog to persuade his wife, or the Three Niangs teaching their children. Most of them are children's costume performances, and the props are fixed a few meters above the carriage. The adults in the carriage stand in a circle, which is also a costume, and the vehicle slowly moves forward.
The shape of the three godsons is the most eye-catching. The little girl who plays the third lady is only four or five years old, very delicate and cute. Most children are extremely focused on everything they do, and the little girls do not look away at all, and they are not afraid of being in the high places. The little man sat on the loom stool, replaced the shuttle with his hands, and concentrated on weaving, which attracted the praise of the audience.
When the social fire performance is about to end, it is almost noon. The costumes of the actors and the costumes of the audience are all bright and beautiful, and the noonday sun is also bright and brilliant, following all the way. People who love to be lively and excited, they are bound to watch the three-day social fire performance. A year of simplicity and plainness, all for the colorful of this moment. A year of hard work, in exchange for these few days of relaxation and rest.
After the Lantern Festival, the year is nearing its end. With the footsteps of spring, the new year has begun again.
