Classical poems of Lantern Festival

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China, which existed as early as 2,000 years ago in the Qin Dynasty. Yuanxiao originally meant "the night of Shangyuan Festival", because the main activities of Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month were to eat glutinous rice balls and enjoy the moon at night, and later the name of this festival evolved into "Lantern Festival".

Lantern Festival is also a poetic festival. Throughout the ages, there are many beautiful sentences describing the Lantern Festival: "People have been looking for him for thousands of times, and suddenly they look back, but that person is under the dim light?" "The moon is at the willow tip, and people meet after dusk." "No moon, no lights, no entertainment, no moon, no lights, no spring." The next classic poem of Lantern Festival must be on the list!

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month

Don Su Weidao

Silver flowers shine like bright lanterns on the tree. On this night, the bridge leading to bright stars opens.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines in every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.

The singer in the moonlight, dressed in makeup, sang Plum Blossom.

The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.

Lights are like silver flowers on a tree. On the Hecheng Bridge, the lights are like stars, all of which are locked and open to anyone. Horseshoe flying in the dark brings dust, and the bright moon seems to be following pedestrians. Geisha who enjoy the moon are all dressed up and singing Plum Blossoms as they walk. The imperial army in Kyoto lifted the ban on night travel today, so don't rush to the morning for a regular jade leaky pot.

The fifteenth night of the first month is a five-character poem written by Su Weidao in the Tang Dynasty. The poem describes the grand occasion of the midnight snack "Duanmen Lantern" in Luoyang City, the capital of God. The first couplet is brightly lit, from which comes the idiom "Silver Flowers on Fire Trees". Couplets are full of people, alternating light and shade, criss-crossing; The neck couplet writes about the joy of night outing, highlighting the beauty of geisha; The tail couplet is about people's infinite nostalgia for its beautiful scenery. The rhythm of the whole poem is delicate and fresh, which is a relatively mature five laws in the early Tang Dynasty.
