Lantern Festival handwritten newspaper painting is simple and beautiful.

Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Xiaoyuanyuan Festival, Yuanxi Festival or Lantern Festival, is the first important festival after the Spring Festival and one of the traditional festivals in China and overseas Chinese. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "night", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon in a year was called the Lantern Festival.

In the ancient customs of China, Shangyuan Festival (Tianguan Festival, Lantern Festival), Zhongyuan Festival (Diguan Festival, Fish Board Festival) and Xiayuan Festival (Water Joint) are collectively called Sanyuan Festival. Lantern Festival began in the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered the fifteenth day of the first month to be designated as the Lantern Festival. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were scheduled for the 15th day of the first month (Taiyi: the God in charge of everything in the universe). When Sima Qian created the taichu calendar Law, he had already identified the Lantern Festival as a major festival.

The sunset is golden, like molten gold water, and the sunset is blue, as bright as jasper. The scenery is so beautiful, but where am I now? The new willow leaves are like smoke, and the plum blossoms sound bitter.

The breath of spring has been exposed. But in this Lantern Festival weather, how do you know it won't be windy and rainy? Those drinkers and poets came to meet them in splendid chariots and horses, and I could only respond politely, because I was depressed and agitated.

I remember that in the prosperous years of Bianjing, there was a lot of leisure in the boudoir, paying special attention to the fifteenth day of the first month. The hat is inlaid with jade beads, and the body is covered with snow willows twisted with gold wire, all of which are beautifully dressed.

Now I look haggard, my hair is fluffy, and I have no intention to comb it. I'm more afraid of going out at night. You might as well listen to other people's laughter from under the curtains.
