Enjoy hundreds of Lantern Festival lanterns from all over the country in Yangzhou

Nanjing's Qinhuai Lanterns originated in the Tang Dynasty and have a long history. They are known as "Qinhuai Lanterns are the best in the world." Every year during the Lantern Festival, Nanjing Confucius Temple is decorated with lights and colors, attracting a large number of tourists. However, this year you can also "move" to Yangzhou to enjoy the lanterns from all over the country.
During the Lantern Festival, China's first folk handicraft lantern art exhibition was unveiled in Yangzhou Jinghua City. A total of 100 varieties of hand-tied lanterns from six major categories from all over the country were on display, including large hanging lotus lanterns and miniature lamb lanterns that can be placed in the palm of your hand, which was a feast for the eyes. It is worth mentioning that in most people’s impressions, colored lanterns are mostly made of various fabrics and papers. But at this lantern show, Wu Lijuan, a Yangzhou Jiangdu lantern artist known as the "Lantern Lady", also innovatively created a lantern made of stockings.

Xuancheng people dance with lanterns to celebrate Lantern Festival

As a city with a history of more than 2,000 years, Xuancheng has rich and colorful folk culture. In addition to the traditional lantern viewing and lantern riddle guessing, the counties and cities in Xuancheng will also carry out various lantern dance activities, such as "small horse lanterns", boat lanterns, Suogen old dragon lanterns, etc.
Among them, the "Little Lantern" originated in Dingbu Town, Langxi County. It is a Han folk dance and was selected as an Anhui provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2010. It is reported that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a deputy envoy of the imperial court named Lu Sheng in Dingbu who served as an official in Yunnan. He rode a thousand-mile horse, traveling a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, and traveled back and forth between Yunnan and Dingbu in Langxi County, Xuancheng, southern Anhui.
