How to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Song Dynasty

The Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty is actually more like our Valentine's Day now.

At that time, the Lantern Festival was a good time for love. Whenever the Lantern Festival comes, girls will always go out to watch it, dress themselves up beautifully, and maybe meet their loved ones. In Song Dynasty, Lantern Festival was really a good day for boys and girls to date. In fact, this is similar to our grand blind date, except that it is more meaningful to do such a thing on a specific festival.

Friends who have seen Water Margin don't know if they still remember it. On the fifteenth day of the first month, the streets are brightly lit and lanterns are everywhere, which is very lively. Moreover, on this day, both heroes and rural women will go shopping happily. This festival celebrated with the sky may meet someone.

On the Lantern Festival, they will also set off fireworks. The fireworks in the Song Dynasty are beautiful, but the momentum is not lost at all. There is a poem describing it, which lights up the whole night, so we can see the spectacular fireworks.
