After the first day of the first year and the fifteenth, although everyone has been working for a period of time, in the concept of the older generation, after the Lantern Festival, it is truly the end of the Year.
As an important traditional festival in China, the Lantern Festival can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. On the day of the Lantern Festival, people usually carry out a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing flower lanterns, eating tangyuan, guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks, which have also been passed down to this day. Therefore, it is now widely believed that the Lantern Festival is to watch the lanterns, guess puzzles, eat tangyuan... In fact, in ancient times, the Lantern Festival was more like a "Valentine's Day".
Because of the feudal society, young women are "not out of the door, the second door is not out", only during the festival can be traveled with the little sisters, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, the lantern festival is the most lively place, the lights and shadows are shaking, men and women meet, and it has become the best time to meet with lovers. Because of this, from ancient times to the present, the Lantern Festival has a touch of "romantic" color. This sentiment is reflected in the poetry of many literati.
For example, the great talent Ouyang Xiu wrote a poem at the head of the bed when he missed the beauty of the old times during the Lantern Festival.
"Sheng Cha Zi , New Year's Eve"
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.
Ouyang Xiu Stills of "Qing Ping Le"
The general meaning of this poem is that on the night of the Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. The beauties meet, at the time of the willows on the moon, after dusk. At the end of this year's Lantern Night, the moonlight and lights are still bright. However, I couldn't see last year's beauty, and the tears of acacia wet the sleeves of the spring shirt. There are two "last year" in a row in the poem, which shows how beautiful it was at that time, and this year at this time, he is obsessed with beautiful people.
In addition, the Lantern Customs and Lantern Sentiments written to the extreme is Xin Renjie's "Qingyu Case ▪ New Year's Eve":
Flowers and trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blowing down, the stars like rain. BMW carved car fragrant road. The sound of the phoenix vibrates, the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
Moth snow willow golden wisps. Laughter filled the dark incense. The multitudes looked for him a thousand times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed.
The words on this poem are "Flowers and Trees", "Stars Like Rain", "BMW Car Carving", "One Night Fish and Dragon Dance" almost write the grandeur of the Lantern Night's lanterns to the extreme, even if our fireworks today are more brilliant and the lights are more magical, but in the face of Xin's poems, we are inevitably poor.
The next person written, the person that the lyricist is looking for is incompatible with the surrounding "moth snow willow" and "laughter and language", but it can make the lyricist look for it thousands of degrees, then it must also be a beauty, even if it is not beautiful in appearance, it must also have other characteristics that attract the lyricist, so that the deep affection of this love suddenly bursts out in the lantern moon night.
In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court changed the Lantern Lantern from three nights to ten nights, and these ten days also became a national statutory holiday, and everyone went out to play. Tang Bohu, a talented man in Jiangnan, also wrote poems to show the cheerful and romantic scene of men and women going out to travel to the Spring Race song at this time.
"Lantern Festival"
There is no light without the moon, and there is no light in the moon, and there is no spring.
Spring to the human world is like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the next month is like silver.
The streets are full of pearls and green flowers, and the gods of the boiling song Saishe.
Don't show FangZhuan to laugh, how to consume this good day.
In the Lantern Festival of this great talent, the flower lanterns under the moon, the warblers and swallows, the people on the long street are boiling, the girls wearing green beads go out to swim in the spring, the boys sing loudly, and the sheng pipe melodiously saishe gods, and the scene is not lively. This also made his mood rare and good, in order not to live up to the beautiful scenery of this good day, the uncle lifted the wine jug at the moment, and the spring breeze blended into the noisy atmosphere.

In addition to poetry, there are many love legends and stories in ancient times that are also related to the Lantern Festival.
For example, the origin of Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan's "broken mirror and reunion" allusion is at this time. When it was said that the Southern Chen Kingdom was about to perish, Princess Lechang's husband Xu Deyan, anticipating that the husband and wife would be separated, smashed a mirror in half, half to the princess, and half to himself, agreeing to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, and in the downtown area of Chang'an, he sold broken mirrors as a secret code to find each other.
Sure enough, at the time of the fall of Southern Chen, Princess Lechang was escorted to Chang'an by the rebel army and forced to do a trick in the Palace of Yang Suyue, and the husband and wife were separated.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year, Xu Deyan found an old man in the streets of Chang'an who auctioned off a broken mirror at a high price of twelve gold, which coincided with his own half. Xu Deyan inscribed a poem on the broken mirror:
The mirror is with the person, and the mirror is not returned.
There is no shadow of Chang'e, leaving the bright moon in the air.
The old man selling the mirror sent the mirror inscribed with the poem to the palace to give it to Princess Lechang, and after many twists and turns, Princess Lechang escaped. In the end, the couple was able to reunite happily.
In addition, the drama "The Riddle of Spring Lanterns" written by the late Ming statesman and dramatist Ruan Dacheng also depicts the story of the shadow girl and Yuwen Yan falling in love at first sight at the Lantern Lantern Festival.
It is said that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the beautiful teenager Yuwen Yan and Wei Chuping jiedu made the female shadow lady meet, and the two jointly guessed the riddle of the lantern, gave each other poetry, and exchanged feelings for each other. Unfortunately, the boat rose due to the wind, and the two mistakenly got into each other's boat. As a result, Yingniang was adopted as a righteous daughter by Yuwen and his wife, while Yuwen Yan was mistakenly imprisoned as a "otter-skinned military thief".

Later, after Yuwen Yan's younger brother Yuwen Xi (宇文羲) was examined and examined, Yuwen Yan, who had assumed the pseudonym Yu Jun, was released during the trial. Yuwen Yan changed his name to Lu Gengsheng, entered beijing to take the exam, and passed the examination, and the master was Wei Jiedushi, the father of Yingniang. Wei Jiedu made sure that Yuwen Xi's father had a daughter, and he matched Lu Gengsheng into the fold, but it was the shadow lady, and both of them were very happy.
The Chao drama "Chen SanWu Niang", which is also a drama story, also depicts the story of a young boy and girl who fell in love after meeting at the Lantern Lantern Festival.
It is said that Chen San, a scholar in Quanzhou, passed through Chaozhou during the Lantern Festival, and met the five maidens of the HuangFu in the west of the city under the lamp and admired each other. After the fifth lady returned home, she fell ill with lovesickness.
One day, WuNiang and her beloved concubine Yichun went upstairs to send them bored, just as Chen San came on horseback, Wuniang was overjoyed, folding lychees to give to Chen San in a luopa wrap, with an expression. At that time, there was a person who raised Lin Dabi, and because he saw the beauty of the fifth lady on the night of the Lantern Festival, he entrusted the media to the Huang Mansion to propose marriage, and Huang's father allowed marriage, and the fifth lady heard that it was very painful.
Chen San pretended to be a mirror grinding master to go to the Huang Mansion and deliberately smashed the Five Niang Treasure Mirror, falsely saying that he was unable to compensate and was willing to pay tribute for the servant for three years. However, the Huang Mansion was heavily disciplined, and Chen San and The Fifth Lady were close to the end of the world, and they were in vain. Thanks to the fifth lady's little maid Yichun, Chen San had to meet the fifth lady, make an oath of alliance, and rush out of the cage.
