Hey there! Have you ever seen a lantern inspired by an ancient painting? 🏮✨ This Lantern Festival, something super cool is lighting up the celebrations!
The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, happens on the 15th day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar. It’s a time when families get together to eat yuanxiao (delicious sticky rice balls with yummy fillings) and, of course, enjoy beautiful lanterns lighting up the night sky! 🌙
This year, a special lantern caught everyone’s eye at a book fair. What’s so special about it? Well, it’s inspired by a famous Chinese painting from the Han Dynasty (over 2,000 years ago!) called “Spring Morning in Han Palace.” 🖼️ This painting, created by Qiu Ying during the Ming Dynasty, shows a peaceful palace scene with ladies enjoying the spring breeze. It’s full of beauty and poetic charm! 🌸
The lantern brings this ancient painting to life with modern light and shadow. What’s even cooler is that it has a smartphone-like charging function! That means it’s easy to use and combines old traditions with modern technology. How neat is that? 📱💡
By lighting up this special lantern, people can celebrate the Lantern Festival in a new and exciting way, while still honoring traditions from long ago. It adds a touch of elegance and warmth to the festival, making it a night to remember! 🌟
