Attention, friends in Beijing in 2019. Don't miss the Lantern Festival in the Forbidden City! This is the first time that the Forbidden City has held a waiting party. Why don't you make an appointment with your friends to go to the palace to enjoy the moon? Nine streets are connected with the shadow of lights, and thousands of doors pass through the moon. On the 15th and 16th of the first month of this year, the Palace Museum will be painted for the first time in three consecutive times, becoming the "brightest" scenic spot in the capital - the "Lantern Festival" held for the first time in 94 years since its establishment. The ancient buildings of the Forbidden City will be lit on a large scale at night for the first time, and will be open to the public for free at night. At that time, the audience will stroll on the palace wall to watch the lanterns and enjoy the painting scroll of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains projected on the golden glazed tiles. Even those who do not enter the palace can see the red light 'point' to light the city wall.
The Lantern Festival in the Forbidden City has attracted the attention of many people. Don't regret if you can't go to the scene. I believe there will be very wonderful waiting activities everywhere. The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, known as the Shangyuan festival in ancient times, is the first full moon night of the new year and the continuation of spring festival celebrations. It originated and took shape in the Han Dynasty. After long-term development and evolution, it has formed today's folk customs such as eating yuanxiao, enjoying the moon, lighting lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, lion dance, dragon dance and so on. However, because the ancient buildings in Beijing are mainly wooden structures, there are almost no Lantern Festival held in cultural protection units in recent years. This year, the Forbidden City will break the 'tradition'. The event is the first time in 94 years since the establishment of the palace museum that it is free to the public at night. It is also the first time that the ancient buildings of the Forbidden City are lit on a large scale at night.
Do you have a feeling of crossing when you watch the lights and enjoy the moon in the palace? Be sure to prepare the camera and don't miss the wonderful shot. Different from the folk "lanterns", you can see both the lights and the palace in the palace. Moreover, the first "Lantern Festival" of the Forbidden City takes the "high standard" - in many links, the audience can climb the city wall and overlook the whole Forbidden City. Before admission, the audience can watch the magnificent posture of the Wumen tower and the East and West Yanchi towers under the light. After entering the Meridian Gate, first watch the lighted Taihe gate square, then climb the Meridian Gate Tower from the West horse road of the Meridian Gate, visit the 'celebrating the new year in the Forbidden City' exhibition, and enjoy the wonderful performance of Zhao Cong, a Pipa player of the Central National Orchestra, and his team in the East wild goose wing tower. In addition, according to the Forbidden City, there is no charge for this activity. Thousands of representatives from all walks of life, including labor models, Beijing models, express brothers, sanitation workers, officers and soldiers of the people's Liberation Army and armed police, firefighters, public security police and audience friends, will be invited to watch the lights and enjoy the scenery and celebrate the good night.
