Lantern Festival composition topic

Today is the Lantern Festival. Let me introduce the origin of the Lantern Festival to you: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival. Lantern Festival is the oldest night festival in China. According to legend, the Western Han Dynasty pacified Zhu Lu, and Emperor China began to lay the foundation stone on 1 month 15, which was designated as the Lantern Festival. The whole country celebrates festivals with lanterns and colorful decorations. The royal family, ladies and gentlemen in the deep palace can also go to the streets to watch the lights.

On the Lantern Festival, every household makes Yuanxiao (now monopolized by professional households). Yuanxiao Yuanxiao, known as "floating Zi Yuan" in ancient times, is a kind of folk snack that tastes both refined and popular, sweet but not greasy, and is popular all over the country. The stars are in the dark clouds and the beads are floating in the turbid water. "Light circles are more delicious than chicken head meat, and crab eye soup is better when you are bored." No wonder ancient poets described the Lantern Festival so much that it has been popular for thousands of years.

Hang lanterns and set off fireworks. It is the most gratifying activity of Quanzhou Lantern Festival. "There are many lanterns, and Su and Fu are crowned" (see Song's "Old Wulin Stories"). "There is more money in the world, and lamps and candles are no better than those in Fujian" (see Xie Wuza). Quanzhou is the city of lanterns, known as "ancient lanterns". Lanterns are pasted by families, spread and sold by shops, and specially made by professional artists. There are drum lights, cake-moistening lights, fish and shrimp, chicken, duck and goose lights, orange lights, banana lights, pineapple lights, palace lights, wishful lights, silk lights, glazed lights and lanterns ... all kinds of colors. The bride's family sends lotus-seed lanterns to her husband's family, and the newly-married man hangs lanterns to the ancestral hall (lotus gives birth to a noble child, and lanterns are homophonic with Ding, praying for more). Lights are hung on streets, halls and porches. The "Aoshan" is set on the thoroughfare avenue, with movable organs, landscape figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects, which is dazzling. There is also a light show, and the exquisite lamps for large-scale activities are dazzling. Kaiyuan Temple and Chengtian Temple are good places to watch the lantern show. Cultural people held a Spring Lantern Poetry Meeting, and Nanyin Society set up a "pavilion" in the street and sang on stage. Couplets in front of Tang Palace in Fengzhou, Nan 'an: "Orchestral strings ring, people come and go to Jinwu night;" Snuff everywhere, Xi Nanxi North Yuyuanchun ".
