When people feed the birds with rice, they will say auspicious words, one is to thank the birds, and the other is to pray for a bumper harvest next year. After dinner, people should walk on the ice, that is, walk on the ice and get rid of all diseases. At this time, there will be troupes and flowers to entertain.

Watching lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month is an old tradition in many places, but do you know that the Lantern Festival in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province has a history of two thousand years? Zhuozhou Lantern Festival began in Han Dynasty, flourished in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is named after the Tonghui Building, which is located in the middle of Zhuozhou North-South Street.

5, Shanxi Changzhi Wuxiang dome light:

Don't be surprised, this strange form of social fire is staged in Wuxiang, Changzhi, Shanxi every January. The name of this activity is just taken from the performance venue, so it is called "Wuxiang Dingdeng", which has now been included in the list of China's intangible cultural heritage.

As for the origin of this activity, it can be traced back to the Five Chaos period. According to the records in Wuxiang County Records, the rulers at that time often attacked the tribe where Xerox, the emperor of Zhao, lived at night and treated the prisoners as slaves. In order to resist the oppression of the rulers, Schleswig made everyone shave their heads, draw ferocious faces on their faces and the back of their heads, and put an oil lamp on their heads. When the arresting officers and men saw it, they thought they had seen a ghost, and they were terrified and ran away. This characteristic folk custom has been handed down gradually and has been preserved.

Another feature of the five-elephant dome lamp is its unique makeup form-the performer will show a mighty, ferocious or humorous face when facing or turning his back to the audience. With the change of rhythm, the top performance formations of lanterns mainly include "Auditorium", "Nine-curve Star" and "Snake Peeling", such as Youlong's Pearl Opera, which seems dazzling and winding. The performance footwork is mainly based on traditional yangko, which pays attention to fast-forward and fast-out, fast-forward and fast-backward, and is called "not pulling the field" by locals.
