Lantern Festival in Ancient Time
The ancient lantern festival was a whitewashing activity, and it also flourished as a religious activity. Since ancient times, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was formed by the government-run private assistance. The part of government funding is mainly for guidance and organization, while civil assistance is mainly for the participation of rich people. In the later period, this kind of lantern festival will become two forms: one is dedicated religious sacrificial activities "burning firecrackers, burning sky lanterns, sky crossing the sea... the other is the official government used to "live with the people" festivals. Lantern festivals are lanterns, dancing dragon lanterns, lion lanterns, cow lanterns, fighting lanterns, etc. Only the small workshops that produce firecrackers or the dragon lantern and lion lantern dance teams that are temporarily formed during the Spring Festival each year cannot be called an industry.
