In some areas, when the Spring Festival comes, red lanterns will be hung. Do you know what is going on?

Lantern has a long history. According to historical records, lanterns were made in the Han Dynasty more than 800 years ago. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, in order to celebrate the prosperity of the country and people, people tied red lanterns, symbolizing "auspicious dragons and auspicious spirits, making the country prosperous". The Song Dynasty pushed the lamp culture to a climax. Not only the materials have been improved, but also poems and songs and patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects have appeared on the lamp wall. Art and lanterns are integrated, so that people can enjoy the cultural heritage of poetry and painting while lighting sacrifices.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lanterns had become a common necessity during the Spring Festival. The styles and styles of lanterns were different at that time. From Ming and Qing dynasties to modern times, although the times have changed, the essence of Yuanxiao culture has been completely passed down. China folk lanterns are hung with "double lights". The "double lights" here don't mean two, but two lights, meaning "in pairs", "yes-man" and "double happiness". At the same time, lanterns should be symmetrical, not only for beauty, but also to symbolize the New Year. Everything should be orderly and the family should be harmonious.

At the beginning of the Lantern Festival in China, on the way to greet the prosperity, rows of world-famous red lanterns are hung high on the lanterns. Festive colors and strong festive atmosphere add a bit of antique flavor to the water surface of the ancient city buildings, and also convey the wishes of the New Year, attracting many local people to stop and watch and admire. "Lantern comes early, happiness comes early", which is a popular saying of Hakkas. Hanging red lanterns in the New Year is a happy and auspicious wish of the Hakka people for the new year, which embodies their good wishes of attaching importance to tradition, family harmony and happiness. There are folk songs to prove it: hanging lanterns, celebrating the New Year and praying for peace and hope.
