In fact, the Lantern Festival is the most romantic of the traditional festivals in China, because it provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women in feudal traditional society to get to know each other. Young girls in traditional society are not allowed to go out for free activities, but they can go out to play together on holidays. Lantern Festival lanterns are just an opportunity to make friends, and unmarried men and women can also find their own partners by the way. During the Lantern Festival, it is also the time for young men and women to meet their lovers.
Therefore, Lantern Festival can be said to be the authentic Valentine's Day in China, rather than the Tanabata which some people imagine superficially. Chen San and Wu Niang, traditional operas, met during the Lantern Festival and fell in love at first sight. In the second part of Nightingale, Lechang's official document was engaged to Xu Deyan at the Lantern Festival, and in the third part of Spring Lantern Enigma, it was engaged to ying niang at the Lantern Festival. This is an example.
