2. Lantern Festival
According to folklore experts in Hainan Province, "Flower Exchange Festival" originated from "Fragrance Exchange Festival". At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were activities to decorate lanterns and change incense. "Changing incense" means that local people exchange incense, which means changing Jina incense and making a fortune.
Later, for the sake of festival safety, 1984, the folk custom of "changing fragrance" in Fucheng was changed to "changing flowers", which gradually became the main activity for people to have fun during the Lantern Festival and evolved into a new custom for young people to pursue love.
Flower Festival was originally a unique folk festival in Fucheng, with a long history. It is said that it originated in the Tang Dynasty. However, the past is a fragrance, not a flower, which means that the fragrance is inexhaustible. After the establishment of the Special Zone in Hainan Province, the traditional incense party has become a trendy flower party, and the scale, scope and area of activities have expanded year by year, forming a new form of entertainment that integrates friendship, beauty, happiness and celebration.
