"A song of music is like a sea in spring, and a thousand gate lights are like a day at night"-the Lantern Festival is approaching, which means that this "year" will come to a lively and successful end.

On the occasion of the arrival, people from all over the country carried out a variety of activities, from which they realized the beautiful spiritual connotation and the profound taste of Chinese traditional culture.

  In an era of material abundance, the arrival of traditional festivals still makes us think.

As a distinctive symbol of national activities, the reason why traditional festivals have infinite charm for every descendant of Yan and Huang, is that its cultural genes that have lasted for thousands of years have always been hardcore.

  In the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, traditional folklore activities in some places during the Lantern Festival this year either controlled the scale or went online, but they did not affect the festive atmosphere in the least.

The traditional festival "Walking into the Clouds" is a scene of the times that meets the current situation. The blessings for the good and the protection of health can be realized from it, which can better demonstrate the culture and value contained in the Lantern Festival.

  There are always festival stories in festivals.

Most of the people's understanding of the Lantern Festival can be described as "noisy" in one word.

The Chinese nation, which originated in agricultural culture, tends to be introverted and reserved. However, "Falling Lantern Festival" is quite Chinese-style—"Crossing Lantern Festival" is an infinitely good expression of Chinese people's emotions for the spring festival, and it is also an expression of struggle to change lives. Power output.

"People come early in spring". After the Lantern Festival, the struggling people will start their dream-catching journey in the new year. At this time axis, there will be a "Feng Xiao sound, a pot of light, a night of fish and dragons". The joy and joy of "dancing" has become a necessity of the festival.

When we experience the joy of it, we can even step into the "spring".

  The nation is the world. The Chinese nation has nurtured extensive and profound traditional culture in the course of thousands of years of historical changes. The root and soul lies in the ascending atmosphere of "Although Zhou is an old state, its fate is restored."

To put it simply, culture lies in the word "inheritance", and traditional festivals are the best scene for achieving wishes.

  In order to welcome the Lantern Festival, Yuquan District, Hohhot City, launched a children’s Spring Festival "Doll Temple Fair" with the theme of "feeling the charm of intangible cultural heritage and inheriting Chinese culture". There are multiple interactive experience areas such as paper cutting, incense sealing, loom weaving, etc. , Let children experience the charm of traditional folk culture.

Time flies, our way of life is constantly changing, but the rich cultural connotation of the Lantern Festival is still advancing with the times and becoming more permanent.

May wish to bring an immersive experience during the Lantern Festival, from which we can better understand our cognition and pursuit of our homeland feelings.

  The reason why a festival is a festival must have its cultural elements and cultural memory.

Among the many traditional festivals in our country, the Lantern Festival is a program with a considerable degree of identity, and it is also a common memory for everyone-watching fireworks, viewing lanterns, visiting temple fairs, and the most indispensable food for the occasion... "South Tangyuan North "Lanxiao", the two delicacies of the Lantern Festival, are meant to pray for a happy and sweet life.

  Experience the Lantern Festival and let tradition and modernity meet each other. In this concept, there is not only cultural advocacy, but also recognition of customs.

Recently, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Market Supervision carried out food safety supervision and random inspections on glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival food sold in large shopping malls, supermarkets, and online platforms in the city, with a pass rate of 100%. This measure itself is a kind of care for traditional festivals.

Come to think of it, this is also a part of inheritance.
