The significance of luminous on the fifteenth day of the first month

On the Lantern Festival, thousands of families go out of their homes, and countless lanterns light up in the street, as if the whole Kyoto is shaking. Countless ladies-in-waiting sleeve dances, the joy of singing and dancing on earth rose to the sky.

The fifteenth night of the first month is an ancient poem written by Su Weidao in the first year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty (AD 705), praising the grand occasion of supper in Luoyang, the capital of the gods. The custom of laying lanterns at the end of the gate of Luoyang Imperial City can be traced back to the period of Yang Di, which was very popular in the Tang Dynasty.

This poem describes that everyone is out of the house, people are empty, they come to entertain themselves, and then they return to the Lantern Festival, making the Lantern Festival the most poetic and fascinating moment. The Tang Palace is brightly lit, full of singing and dancing, with a bird's eye view and a close-up of martial arts. The scene is spectacular and the weather is magnificent.

This landscape poem was the first prize won by the poet in a poetry competition on the 15th night of the first month, and it is also a masterpiece admired by later generations. This poem describes the joyful scene of Luoyang citizens on the Lantern Festival night. The first couplet is brightly lit, from which comes the idiom "Silver Flowers on Fire Trees". Couplets are full of people, alternating light and shade, criss-crossing; The neck couplet writes about the joy of night outing, highlighting the beauty of geisha; The tail couplet is about people's infinite nostalgia for its beautiful scenery. The whole poem has bright colors and accurate words, which embodies the poet's extraordinary artistic talent.

Original works:

Silver flowers shine like bright lanterns on the tree. On this night, the bridge leading to bright stars opens.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines in every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.

The singer in the moonlight, dressed in makeup, sang Plum Blossom.

The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.
