In the classic Dream of Red Mansions, various festivals of Jia's family are described, involving almost every important Chinese New Year's holiday season. Looking at the detailed and orderly descriptions of these festivals, it is not difficult to see that Cao Xueqin, the author, described the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month with great emphasis on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day on the first day of the first month. The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is another climax after the Spring Festival. Lantern Festival was also called "Shangyuan Festival" and "Lantern Festival" in ancient times. This night, "Jin Wu can't help", people can play all night.
Second, the "Lantern Festival" in the classic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" crusaded against national thieves, and the death of five ministers was the most tragic.
In the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a tragic story happened in the Lantern Festival in Xudu. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, a fierce generation, was in power in the ruling and opposition parties, and the emperor was forced to make princes. The ruling and opposition parties were angry and regarded Cao Cao as a national thief. Therefore, the five ministers of the DPRK and China joined hands to prepare for a crusade against Cao Cao on the night of the Lantern Festival, in order to clear the monarch's side. In the sixty-ninth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which "Bu Zhouyi Guan Lu knew the opportunity and begged the five ministers of the Han Dynasty to die", five people, including Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Jin Xian, Ji Miao and Ji Mu, planned to arise and crusade against Cao Cao on the fifteenth day of the first month in Xudu. Five people swear to heaven, blood for alliance, or die.
Third, the "Lantern Festival" in the classic "Water Margin" is the most lively.
The classic Water Margin describes the activities of the Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, people celebrated the Lantern Festival for five days. Compared with the previous dynasties, the grand occasion was more unprecedented and the lantern festival was more spectacular. Su Shi, a great poet, wrote a poem: "Lights are everywhere, and songs are everywhere." Fan Chengda also wrote in a poem: "Wutai is a prosperous place in ancient times, preferring Lantern Festival." However, Xin Qiji's "The Jade Case of Yuan Xi" describes the Lantern Festival night more wonderfully: "Thousands of trees are blooming in the east wind night, and the stars are raining. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The phoenix flute is moving, the jade pot is turning, and the fish and dragon dance all night. " The Lantern Festival in the classic "Water Margin" is described wonderfully, and at the same time, the drama of swords and shadows, fighting and killing, makes the Lantern Festival more lively.
Fourth, the "Lantern Festival" in the classic The Journey to the West is the most exotic.
The Journey to the West, a classic, tells the story of the Lantern Festival in Tianzhu, and the rich exotic flavor makes this story more colorful.
