By the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival had developed into an unprecedented lantern market. The capital "made lanterns 20 feet high, resplendent in clothes, decorated with gold and silver, burning 50,000 lanterns and clustering them into flower trees". Su Weidao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem The 15th Night of the First Month? "Firewood honeysuckle, star bridge iron lock open. The dark dust goes with the horse and the bright moon comes. " It depicts a scene of colorful lights, bright moonlight, tourists weaving and excitement. Zack Zhang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised Tao with poems? "Calyx stair-door rain dew new, chang' an taiping people. The dragon holds a thousand lights in the fire tree and the chicken steps on the lotus. " Describe the scene of enjoying the Lantern Festival to the fullest. Li Shangyin used the poem "The Imperial City is full of moonlight lights, and the treasures of horses and chariots overflow the thoroughfare" to describe the grand scale of watching the lights at that time. What is commendable is that Cui Ye, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, should be the first to write The Last Yuan Night? "The jade leaks the copper pot and does not rush, and the iron pipe golden lock is fully open; Who can sit on the moon and smell the lights? Although there is no positive description of the Lantern Festival, it contains a very happy and lively scene.
The Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty is even more grand, and the Lantern Festival is even more spectacular. Su Dongpo has a poem cloud? "Lights are everywhere, and songs are everywhere." Fan Chengda also wrote a poem? Wutai was a prosperous place in ancient times, preferring the Lantern Festival. The "shadow lamp" in the poem is the "lantern running". A great poet.
Xin Qiji once wrote a poem describing the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival, which has been passed down through the ages. "There are thousands of trees in the east wind night, and the falling flowers are raining. BMW carved cars are full of incense. Bagpipes move, jade pots turn and fish dragons dance all night.
The Ming dynasty was even more extravagant, changing the Lantern Festival from three nights to ten nights. Tang Bohu once wrote poems praising the Lantern Festival, bringing people into the charming Lantern Festival night. Poetry? "Light without moon, no light without spring. When spring comes to the world, people are like jade, and the lamp burns silver next month. The streets are full of girls wandering in the spring, singing and competing with social gods. How can you get rid of this great time without smiling? "
In addition to all kinds of lanterns, there are dancing torches, fireballs, fire rain and so on. In Ruan Yuan, there is a poem about the Yangcheng Lantern Festival: "The sea claw clouds are exquisitely carved, and Demen is clearly listed in color screens. The city fire is overwhelming, and Yangde has recovered for many years. Full moon and spring can be a night, and people are like flowers. It means that there are two guests in Yingzhou, and the book window is more colorful. " Yuan Xiao Fu by the Qing Dynasty poet Yao? "The bees and butterflies in the flowers are crazy, and the BMW car is long at night. The headlights on the twelfth floor are like fire, and the moon outside Siping Street is like frost. " It is more vivid, wonderful and unique.
The poetic and romantic Lantern Festival is usually associated with love. Among the poems of past dynasties, there are many poems expressing love through Yuanxiao. Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty wrote, "On the first night of this year, the moon lights remained unchanged; I didn't see it last year and cried Man Chun's shirt sleeve. " Expressed the pain of missing your lover.
