Chinese Lantern Festival why prosperous, why decline?

Today is the Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.Historically, it was the biggest carnival for Chinese people.

But today, compared with the Mid-Autumn festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, the Lantern Festival has received little attention.

The ancient people attached importance to the Lantern Festival, the main reason is that during the Lantern Festival, the imperial court will lift the curfew, allowing people to go out at night to celebrate. In normal times, people living in cities, except for funeral , medical treatment and marriage, are strictly prohibited to travel at night without any reason, or they will be flogged.During the Lantern Festival, people can break through the boundaries of high and low, go to the street to watch lanterns and guess riddles, And play freely.Weekday the woman in the home that be trapped, also had god-given opportunity to go out.


After the republic of China, the status of the Lantern Festival began to decline sharply.Because, after entering the republic of China, except in special circumstances, there is no curfew. The night life rights of the ancients were greatly suppressed by the curfew, So the Lantern Festival became a rare opportunity for "legal carnival".Curfews aside, the Lantern Festival "night tour" of the precious, nature will no longer exist.In addition, the society is becoming more and more open, men and women have Plenty of opportunities to communicate, also do not have to wait for the Lantern Festival.

How much modern people pay attention to a festival, largely depends on whether there is a holiday and holiday length.With a holiday, the Lantern Festival's presence would be diminished.

Lantern Festival, has become the Chinese people's biggest carnival, the Spring Festival "aftereffect".
