What do southerners do on the fifteenth day of the first month?

1. In Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places, Lantern Festival activities will be held at midnight, and trees will be erected, which means that lanterns will be erected high. With the help of their parents, children make rabbit lanterns, carambola lanterns or square lanterns out of bamboo paper, hang them horizontally on short poles and then stand on high poles. They are high-tech and colorful, adding another scenery to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

2. In addition, there are sky lanterns, namely Kongming lanterns, which are made of paper and tied into large lanterns. Candles are burning under the lamp, and the hot air rises, which makes the light fly in the air and attracts people to laugh and chase. In addition, there are children carrying all kinds of lanterns to enjoy in the lower reaches of the moon.

3. In addition, the game of burning tile lanterns (or burning flower towers, burning tile towers and burning fan towers) is widely circulated in the south, and also in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi. For example, in the fifth volume of China National Customs, in Jiangxi, "at midnight snack, ordinary children pick up tiles in the wild and pile them into round towers with holes."

4. Dragon dance. This is the most traditional custom of the Lantern Festival in Hong Kong. A grand dragon dance was held for three consecutive nights in the Tai Hang area of Causeway Bay. This fire dragon is more than 70 meters long, and it is tied into 32 dragon bodies with pearl grass, which is full of longevity incense. On the night of the grand event, the streets and alleys in this area, a series of winding and undulating fire dragons danced happily under the light and dragon and drum music, which was very lively.

The stilt meeting is generally organized by the masses spontaneously in series. On the 11th and 12th day of the first month, people began to take to the streets, which means to tell people that many folk flowers will be hung up this year. On the fifteenth day of the first month, I officially went to the streets until the end of the 18th National Congress.

6. There were "Seven Sacrifices" in ancient times, which were two of them. The method of sacrifice is to insert poplar branches above the door, insert a pair of chopsticks in a bowl filled with bean porridge, or put wine and meat directly in front of the door.

7. Cook jiaozi. Eating glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival is a well-known holiday custom, which means "reunion".
