1275, Lantern Festival at the end of Southern Song Dynasty, what's the difference?

We all know that the Lantern Festival was a very important festival in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty. Folk activities are very prosperous. My mind is also very active. On the Lantern Festival, women can go out to play with friends all night. In fact, at the beginning, the origin of Lantern Festival was related to some religions in China.

Lantern Festival originated in Han Dynasty. People in Song Dynasty liked Lantern Festival very much, not only in Kaifeng, the capital of Song Dynasty. Turn off the lights at night, the scene is magnificent. During the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was very popular all over the country. It was a very grand festival. These nights every year, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful, and the whole people are carnival.

Another reason is that in the Song Dynasty. Folk activities are unprecedentedly prosperous. In Song Dynasty, the most important activity of Lantern Festival was to turn off the lights in solve riddles on the lanterns. On this day, the streets and alleys will be decorated with lights and decorations. The Imperial Capital took the lead in saving lamps. The party is not only decorated with lights, but also has a song and dance performance for you to watch. Intellectually, people come out regardless of gender, age, wealth, and everyone dresses up for a trip, and even members of the royal family and government officials will come out to attend such a grand event. In addition to decorating the streets, people's homes will also be carefully decorated.

After attending, I came home from a lively activity and had a sumptuous Lantern Festival banquet. In the Song Dynasty, jiaozi with bean paste was eaten at the Lantern Festival. In addition, there are some other things that must be eaten this evening, but this is all because of geographical reasons, and the food of each nation is different, so I won't say much here.

But even in the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was bustling and lively, the last Lantern Festival in the Southern Song Dynasty. This kind of excitement and prosperity should no longer exist. When the country is ruined, who has the mind to decorate the streets and make trouble at home? Everyone's heart is full of confusion about the future and deep worries about the country.
