On the night of the Lantern Festival, women make appointments to go out and walk together. They must cross the bridge when they see it, believing that this can eliminate diseases and prolong life. It is a folk activity for women to avoid disasters and pray for blessings during the ancient Lantern Festival, which was particularly popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Walking away from 100 diseases" is very particular among the people. It must be carried out at a specific time. Women gather together, or walk along the wall, or cross the bridge or walk in the suburbs. The purpose is to drive away diseases and disasters. This is an activity to eliminate disasters and pray for health. The custom of "walking away from 100 diseases" is very meaningful. In ancient times, women were trapped in their boudoirs and could not go out casually, especially unmarried girls and young women. Even if they wanted to visit relatives and friends, they were all carried in cars and sedan chairs. The custom of "walking away from 100 diseases" gave women a short period of freedom, so that women who rarely had outdoor activities could exercise well, which is beneficial to health. Friends who want to improve their health fortunes may also "walk away from 100 diseases" during the Lantern Festival.Lantern Festival customs: Bringing good luck to your relationship -- visiting lantern festivals and appreciating the moon"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, when I turned around, there he was, beside the dimming fire.", "Last year's Lantern Festival, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. The moon was above the treetops, and we made appointments after dusk. This year's Lantern Festival, the moon and the lights are still the same. I miss last year's person, and my tears wet my sleeves." These two well-known poems are both about emotions and the time period is the Lantern Festival. In the old days, most young girls were kept in seclusion and were not allowed to go out casually. They could only go out and play in groups during festivals. Taking the opportunity of appreciating lanterns during the Lantern Festival, unmarried men and women can look for partners for themselves or meet their lovers. Princess Taiping and her husband Xue Shao in "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life" met during the Lantern Festival. Although the temperature during the Lantern Festival is not as suitable as that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has a unique flavor because of the contrast between the bright moon and the lanterns. Watch the lanterns hand in hand with the person you love, and admire the moon together, and your love fortune will naturally improve. For those who don’t have their ideal partner, perhaps they will encounter a relationship where “I searched for him/her among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he/she was there, just as the fire was dimming.”Lantern Festival customs: Family happiness and good fortune - eating Lantern Festival dumplingsThe shape of Yuanxiao symbolizes reunion, and the various fillings have their own particular flavors, representing the different flavors of a happy life. Eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival symbolizes family reunion, happiness and good luck in the new year.Lantern Festival customs: Enlightenment customs - guess lantern riddlesSince the custom of hanging lanterns during the Lantern Festival was formed, all dynasties have regarded hanging lanterns and watching lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as a major event.
