Yang Fan left China on the eighth day of the lunar new year. When he came back, he happened to be in time for the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the small first month, the new year's Eve or the Lantern Festival, is the first important festival after the Spring Festival.
The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, and the ancients called the night "Xiao". Therefore, the 15th day of the first full moon of the year is called the Lantern Festival.
In ancient Chinese customs, the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first month), the mid Yuan Festival (Yulan Festival, July 15th) and the Xiayuan Festival (Shuiguan Festival, October 15th) are collectively called Sanyuan. The Lantern Festival began more than 2000 years ago in the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered the 15th day of the first month as the Lantern Festival.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activity of "Taiyi God" was fixed on the 15th day of the first month (Taiyi: the God of the universe). When Sima Qian created the "Taichu calendar", he had identified the Lantern Festival as a major festival.
Traditional customs such as going out to enjoy the moon, lighting lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating Lantern Festival together, pulling rabbit lamps, etc.
In addition, traditional folk performances such as playing dragon lantern, playing lion, walking on stilts, rowing boat, twisting Yangko and playing Taiping drum are also added to many local Lantern Festival. In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
This year, a large lantern festival was held in Jiangnan City. Many government departments, sub district offices and various enterprises participated in the Lantern Festival.
In response to the call of the Jiangnan government, Yuquan villa also produced a number of lanterns, led by Yang Sanmao, to attend the Lantern Festival in Jiangnan City.
After 15 months of the exhibition, Yang Zhenghua, a famous local designer, has finished the production of Qinghua lamp in Yangshan.
Yang Fan was very happy when he knew that. The reason why he was so anxious to return home with menezi and Sophia was to see how the lanterns in Yuquan villa were and enjoy the Lantern Festival in Jiangnan City.
According to old people, the Lantern Festival in the south of the Yangtze River has a long history. It started hundreds of years ago, but in the last 20 years, because the officials were busy developing the economy, they didn't pay enough attention to the traditional folk activities like the Lantern Festival.
In recent years, due to many patriotic people's appeals, the country began to pay more attention to traditional culture. Especially, some senior leaders realized that the moral quality of Chinese people was declining rapidly. If we don't take effective measures, it is estimated that the Chinese nation will really become a inferior nation.
As a result, some traditional Chinese festivals began to have a holiday, some traditional Chinese culture began to revive, and some people began to carry forward the traditional culture in a false manner. Obviously, they were full of wine and feces, but they pretended to be like a cultural person.
In fact, some people are forced to pay so much attention to traditional culture, but it is not others who force the Chinese people to pay attention to traditional culture. It is the little brother of China hundreds of years ago - Bangzi people.
It is said that the Bangzi people are very strong and have applied for the Dragon Boat Festival as their cultural heritage. However, Huaxia, the real birthplace of the Dragon Boat Festival, is learning from the west what kind of foreign festivals like Christmas and all saints, let alone pay attention to traditional festivals, and even have no one-day holiday.
In the international context, the relevant departments have to pretend to pick up the traditional Chinese festivals again, or they will be laughed at by the whole world. Your so-called grand culture of thousands of years has not even a traditional thing. What are you blowing about!
Therefore, the Lantern Festival in Jiangnan City was held at the right time. In the past, other places were going abroad for examination, so we should not lag behind. Now other places are carrying forward traditional culture. Of course, Jiangnan City should keep up with it, not only to keep up, but also to lead!
When Yang Fan returned to the south of the Yangtze River, the Lantern Festival had just opened. Yang Fan took menezi and Sophia to watch the colorful lanterns and enjoy the grand scenery that he had never seen before.
It's OK for Menezo. The ancient people of island and China learned a lot of traditional things. Occasionally, they could see all kinds of lanterns. Unlike the island countries, France did not have the traditional Chinese folk custom of making lanterns.
Therefore, Sophia is more excited than menezi. She drags Yang Fan and shouts and shouts like taking that medicine. There is no ordinary half minute lady.
"Yang fanjun, look, is that the Great Wall? It must be very difficult to make such a large lantern? "
Yang Fan followed the direction of menezi's fingers and found a great wall across a truck. Although the lantern is abstract, it can be understood by Chinese people. It is a great wall.
"Yes, it's the Great Wall, Sophia. Do you see that?"
"See, you think I am Xiaobai, Yang fanjun?"
"Hey, I'll test you. Why does the lantern keep rotating?"
Yang Fan is very virtuous. Sophia dare to call herself huaxiatong. How do you answer this time.
Sophia was also very good at answering Yang Fan's question: "after the candle is lit, the air inside the cylinder screen will be heated by it. When the rising hot air passes through the windmill on the top of the paper screen, it will blow it up. The windmill is connected to the cylindrical paper screen, so it will rotate the paper screen, and the original air inside the cylinder screen will be turned If you run up, the cold air outside will be replenished immediately from below, so the cylinder-shaped paper screen will keep rotating"Well, Menezo, do you think Sophia's answer is right?" Yang Fan did not immediately comment on Sophia's question, but asked Menezo on the side.
"Sophia's sister is very smart. Menezo thinks she has answered it correctly. What do you say, Yang fanjun?" Menezo was so clever that he could not see any jealousy of Sophia.
"Ha ha, both of you are wrong. You are smart. I think you are two little idiots."
"No way. Why does the lantern keep spinning?" Sophia has always been uncompromising in academic issues, whether facing Yang Fan or world-famous experts and professors.
Yang Fan laughs like a fox who steals a chicken: "ha ha, let me tell you, the reason why the lantern keeps turning is because it has a small motor installed in it, that is, the motor, so it will keep rotating, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sophia: No, I'm talking about the traditional walking lantern, not the modern western shellfish
Yang Fan showed his hands innocently: "but what I asked was why the lantern kept rotating, not why the traditional lantern kept turning."
Sophia:
Menezi:.... "
