Ancient China's version of Valentine's Day

Besides the lively

In addition to the lively activities and various performances, the Lantern Festival also has a very special "function", which was later called the ancient Chinese Valentine's Day in the substantive sense of the word.

Folklorist Xiao Fang explains that it was called that because the Lantern Festival was a rare time in ancient times when the sexes could come into contact.

The Lantern Festival's revelry gave women in the depths of the countryside the chance to go out at night. In the Song dynasty, where Cheng-Zhu theory was prevalent, they could still go to the market to see the lanterns and have fun, and even if they didn't return late at night, no one would criticize them.

This gave young men and women a chance to get to know each other, and there were many instances of love at first sight; some of them were already in love, but took the Lantern Festival as an opportunity to meet.

Ouyang Xiu, a great writer, wrote a song called "Sheng Chazi - Lantern Festival", which has been passed down to this day: "Last year on the night of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns in the flower market were as bright as day. The moon was in the willow tresses, and people met after dusk. This year's New Year's Eve, the moon and lights are still the same. I don't see last year's people, and my sleeves are wet with tears."
