Riddles add to the festive atmosphere and showcase the ancient working people’s wisdom and wisdom and their yearning for a better life. Dragon lantern show Dragon lantern performance is also called dragon lantern dance or dragon dance. Its origin can be traced back to ancient times. Legend has it that as early as the Yellow Emperor period, in a large-scale song and dance called "Qingjiao", there appeared an image of a human playing a dragon head with a bird body. Later, a dance scene of six dragons interweaving with each other was choreographed. The first recorded dragon dance was in the "Fu of Western Capital" by Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty. The author gave a vivid description of the dragon dance in the narration of a hundred plays. According to the "Book of Sui·Music Records", during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the "Yellow Dragon Change" performance, which was similar to the dragon dance in various acrobatics, was also very exciting and dragon dance became popular in many places in China. The Chinese nation worships the dragon and regards it as a symbol of good luck. Walking on stilts It is a popular mass skill performance among the people. Stilt walking is a type of acrobatics in ancient China and appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. The earliest introduction of stilts in China is in the Liezi Shuo Fu chapter: "In Song there was a man named Lan Zi, who used his skills to compete with Song Yuan. Song Yuan summoned him and showed him his skills. Lion Dance Lion dancing is an excellent Chinese folk art. During the Lantern Festival or gatherings and celebrations, people perform lion dancing to add to the fun. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period, became popular during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. [2] "Lion dance" originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. It is also known as "Lion Dance" and "Taiping Music". It is usually performed by three people. Two of them dress up as lions, one acts as the lion's head, one acts as the lion's body and hind legs, and the other acts as the lion's leader. There are two types of dance: civil and martial. The civil dance shows the lion's tameness, with movements such as shaking hair and rolling. The martial lion dance shows the lion's ferocity, with movements such as leaping, kicking high, and rolling colorful balls. Land Boating According to folklore, rowing the land boat is to commemorate Dayu, who made great contributions to flood control. Land boat rowing is also called land boat running, which is to imitate the movement of a boat on land. Most of the people who perform land boat running are girls. The land boat is not a real boat. It is made of two thin boards, sawn into a boat shape, tied with bamboo and wood, and covered with colorful cloth. It is tied around the girl's waist. It is like sitting in a boat. She holds oars in her hands and makes rowing gestures while running, singing local tunes and dancing at the same time. This is land boat rowing. Sometimes there is another man dressed as a passenger on the boat, and his partner in the performance is mostly dressed as a clown, using all kinds of funny actions to amuse the audience. Land boat rowing is popular in many areas of China. Door and door There were "seven sacrifices" in ancient times, and these are two of them. The method of sacrifice is to insert a willow branch above the door, insert a pair of chopsticks into a bowl of bean porridge, or directly place wine and meat in front of the door. Rat chaser Chasing rats away is a traditional folk activity during the Lantern Festival that began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is mainly said to people who raise silkworms. Because mice often eat large numbers of silkworms at night, people say that if you feed mice with rice porridge on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will stop eating silkworms. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a god came down to a family surnamed Chen and said to them: If you can offer sacrifice to me, you will have a good harvest of silkworms. Later it became a custom. Send a lamp to your child It is abbreviated as "sending lanterns" or "sending flower lanterns", which means that before the Lantern Festival, the daughter's parents send flower lanterns to the family of the newly married daughter, or relatives and friends send lanterns to the family of a newly married couple without children, in order to pray for a good omen of having children, because "lantern" and "ding" are homophones. This custom exists in many places. In Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, lanterns are sent between the 8th and 15th day of the first lunar month. In the previous year, a pair of large palace lanterns and a pair of painted glass lanterns are sent, hoping that the daughter will be blessed with good fortune after marriage and give birth to a son soon. If the daughter is pregnant, in addition to the large palace lanterns, one or two pairs of small lanterns are also sent, wishing the daughter a safe pregnancy. [25] Welcome Zigu Zi Gu is also called Qi Gu, and in the north it is often called Toilet Gu or Keng San Gu. According to ancient folk customs, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people would welcome the toilet goddess Zi Gu and offer sacrifices to her, and predict silkworms and other matters. Legend has it that Zi Gu was originally a concubine of a family. She was envied by the eldest wife and was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. She became the toilet god. On the night of the Zigu Festival, people would make a life-size portrait of Zigu out of straw and cloth, and worship her in the pigpen between toilets at night. This custom is popular in all parts of the north and south, and was recorded as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Get rid of all diseases "Walking away all diseases", also known as touring all diseases, dispersing all diseases, roasting all diseases, walking on a bridge, etc., is an activity to eliminate disasters and pray for health. On the night of the Lantern Festival, women make appointments to go out together. They walk together and cross every bridge they see, believing that this can cure diseases and prolong life. Walking away all diseases has been a custom in the north since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some people do it on the 15th day, but most of them do it on the 16th day. On this day, women dressed in festive attire, went out of their homes in groups, walked across dangerous bridges, climbed up city walls, and touched nails to pray for children, and did not return until midnight.
