Throughout the ages, there have been not only a large number of popular Lantern Festival poems, but also numerous interesting Lantern Festival couplets. In the Northern Song Dynasty, when a man named Jia Sidao was guarding Huaiyin (today's Yangzhou), one year he put up lanterns for the Lantern Festival. Someone among the guests picked up a Tang poem and wrote a couplet for the door lanterns: "On a moonlit night in three parts of the world, a small red building ten miles away from Yangzhou."
