In the flower market on the north side of the city gate, many tourists have attracted many purchases. Among them, the lotus lamp, the rabbit lamp and the golden bull lamp are especially popular among children. There are also tourists who not only bought lanterns, but also carried Chinese knots in order to realize their New Year’s wishes.

Middle-aged and old people hope to hold the Lantern Festival every year.
Last night, many middle-aged citizens who helped each other or held hands and came to feel the Lantern Festival said that they had already heard that the Lantern Festival was a folk custom in Nanjing. Later, they did not know how to disappear. If this festival can be preserved, let us be able to spend the night at this season, full of vitality like a young man, full of happiness and expectations for the New Year, what a good thing! A family living in the city of Ge Mr. also said that he is a northerner. He has just brought his wife to Nanjing for a long time in recent years. In the northern city, there is also the custom of walking on the bridge to go to the disease. In the first two years of the New Year, he often depressed the Lantern Festival in Nanjing. If you have a reunion dinner with your family, you can celebrate the traditional festival activities. This year, I heard that the Chinese Lantern Festival held the Lantern Festival for the first time, and I did not hesitate to go to the lanterns.
The custom of lanterns originated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties
Tao Siyan, vice chairman of the China Folk Literature and Art Association and a professor at Southeast University, told reporters that as an old Nanjing native, in his impression, the last Lantern Festival in Nanjing was probably in 1959. However, the custom of lanterns has to be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Especially after the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang settled in Nanjing, many peasants outside the city were mobilized into the city. According to the custom of the countryside at that time, they liked to walk the bridge on the 15th night of the first month. There are still many The old man will drive into the city from the Shangxin River to raise the lights and pray for the next year to bless the family. Some rural women and children, in order to celebrate the festival, even on the fifteenth night of the first month of the night, swimming all night, until the first month of the first month of the first month, the husband of the family is not at ease, so gradually restrained his wife, changed the customs and habits to the first month of the 16th Going out the bridge. Later, with the expansion of the Huizhou merchants in Nanjing, they often held a lot of festivals like the Lantern Festival during the Spring Festival Lantern Festival.
The people walking the bridge are becoming more and more savvy, because Nanjing City is too big, and it is difficult to see the panorama of the city in the process of walking. Everyone is getting used to going to the bridge and turning into the city. . Look at the gates. The doorway below is the same as the bridge hole. If you walk on it, you can climb up and look up. Why not! Professor Tao said that at that time, the treasure gate was like the current overpass, and the residents took the lanterns. Come up to pray, the crowd is moving, and the bustle is extraordinary. Gradually, there are four gates in Nanjing, which have become the places where residents walked bridges during the Lantern Festival. They were Tongjimen, Sanshanmen, Stone Town and Jubaomen (renamed Zhonghua Gate during the Republic of China). Later, due to the destruction of war and other reasons, now only the Zhonghua Gate can restore the lanterns to walk the folk customs.
