Introduction: "We are all from the Northeast, and we produce Korean ginseng there." Everyone's impression of our fellow Northeasterners is that they have good personalities and are straightforward and honest. There are big cultural differences between the north and south of our country. So, how do people in Northeast China celebrate the Lantern Festival? Now, please follow the editor to learn about it! The first month of the lunar calendar is the beginning of spring, and there are beautiful festivals everywhere in this month. Mr. Shui Mo lists these traditional Chinese festivals and customs for you one by one. Northeastern Yuanxiao is not wrapped but rolled. First, use a mold to process the fillings such as sugar, rose, sesame, nuts, and bean paste into small pieces. Put the ground glutinous rice flour in a large basket, put the filling pieces in the basket and start shaking it. The glutinous rice flour will stick to the filling layer by layer, and the more it is shaken, the bigger it becomes, and white, round Yuanxiao are rolled. The meaning of Lantern Festival is family reunion and happiness. In Northeast China, people send lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival. In rural areas, every family makes a bowl-shaped lantern with noodles, pours oil into the bowl, and uses thread to make a wick. When lighting the lanterns, they light them one by one on the windowsills, gate pillars, and warehouses outside the house. They also use sawdust mixed with oil to light a lantern at regular intervals on the road from the doorstep to the cemetery. The bean-sized dim lights are connected into one, which is very spectacular. At this time, heaven and man share the experience, which is called "sending lanterns." On the Lantern Festival in Northeast China, new brides have to "hide from the lights". A bride who has been married for less than a year is not allowed to stay at home on this day. She must be picked up by relatives before dark to hide from the lights, and is not allowed to go back to her parents' home. An old saying goes: If you don't hide from the lights on the 15th, your father-in-law will die. People in Northeast China go out on the night of the Lantern Festival and take a stroll, which is called "walking away all diseases". They walk in groups and cross any bridge they see, especially those who are in poor health. By walking away all diseases, they can get rid of diseases, prolong life, and avoid disasters and maintain good health. In Northeast China, the Lantern Festival usually starts on the 14th and ends on the 16th, with the climax being the 15th.
