Today is the fifteenth day of the first month of Renyin Year, Lantern Festival. Because the first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, the ancients called "night" "night", and today is also the first full moon night of the year, hence the name Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Yuanxi Festival or Lantern Festival, is the last important festival in China Spring Festival. Lantern Festival, from ancient times to the present, is embodied in the word "noisy". Ancient emperors’ Lantern Festival of "having fun with the people" has gone from 10,000 lanterns, burning lamps and setting off flames, enjoying solve riddles on the lanterns, having Lantern Festival together, family reunion and celebrating the festival together. As the old saying goes, after the Lantern Festival, the year is over. The Lantern Festival is certainly lively, and peace and health are the greatest happiness. It is even more special and unforgettable when the Beijing Winter Olympics is still in full swing and the epidemic situation is accurately prevented and controlled. Yesterday’s Shencheng coincided with the arrival of Chun Xue. It was covered with snow and white, adding a strong color to the scenery of the northland in early spring. There are still three days, and the rainy solar term will be ushered in. The east wind thaws, and the snow melts into rain. Spring rain moistens everything. It is about to present a scene of "the rain in the sky is as crisp as crisp, and the grass color is near but not", which also contains people’s expectations for a better life. The lights are shining, and the reunion is at this time. In fact, no matter the ends of the earth, it is still close at hand. As long as we have each other in our hearts, a simple holiday greeting will give us a sense of ritual. "A song is like the sea in spring, and a thousand lights are like the night." At this moment when the bright moon is in the sky and the full moon is full, I wish you: Happy Lantern Festival, full moon and auspicious symbiosis! (Chang Yongfu)
