The implication of walking on stilts in Lantern Festival

Walking on stilts during the Lantern Festival means being far-sighted and advancing step by step.

because the homonym of "stilts" is "look up", which means that after the spring of the new year, people must be far-sighted and take a long-term view. Therefore, the longer they walk on stilts, the longer they can be far-sighted. When they walk on stilts, people's height will also rise, so they also have the meaning of rising step by step. The mass base of this activity is very high.

stilts first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and were called "stilt skills" in the Wei and Han Dynasties, and "stepping on a bridge" in the Song Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, they have been called "stilts". Originally, they were one of the hundred plays in ancient China, and stilt walking has developed into the most representative performance to celebrate the Lantern Festival. As long as there is a team walking on stilts, it will attract a large number of men, women and children to watch.

Walking on stilts inherits the present situation

Walking on stilts, an art form, was once brilliant in history. Unlike now, ancient people had a single form of entertainment, so walking on stilts was also one of the most important forms of entertainment for ordinary people during festivals.

Now, with the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, people's entertainment methods are increasing day by day, and the public's aesthetics are also changing gradually, which leads to people's attention on stilts, especially young people, and many people don't understand what stilts are doing.

In order to prevent the traditional art of walking on stilts from being lost, government departments at all levels only do their best to rescue it. Inheritance requires the efforts of each of us, and consumption and publicity are also things that ordinary people can do. Therefore, let each of us act and make a small contribution to the inheritance of our traditional culture.
