The customs of the river lanterns in the Qinhuai River were interrupted after 80 years of reignition.

According to Jiang Yongmei, director of the Qinhuai District Tourism Bureau, the river lanterning event will be held during the Qingming holiday from April 4th to 6th. Every night from 6:30 to 10:00, in the waters of Confucius Temple Dianchi, Zhonghuamen, Dongshuiguan and Bailuzhou Park, citizens can buy river lanterns into the river. For the top 1,000 tourists who purchased the tickets in Qinhuai, they will receive a free blessing lamp. The citizens who go to Bailuzhou Park will buy a 10 yuan lantern to enter the park for free. At the same time, Bailuzhou Park also A special area has been opened for the public to make river lights by themselves.

At present, the relevant departments of Qinhuai District have formulated corresponding security measures for the activity, and will organize special personnel to recover the lanterns in the river on the evening of April 4-6 to ensure clean and tidy river surface.

Lu Youchang, an old artist with a lantern, told reporters that the customs of the river lanterns in Qinhuai River had been interrupted for at least seven or eighty years, and the existing Zha Lan people had never done it. This time, after repeated trials, considering the buoyancy, wind and other factors, we designed a simple and safe lamp. The style of the river lanterns is based on the advice of Professor Tao Siyan from Southeast University - the lotus lamp. Tao Siyan said that the lotus flower is in the water and is placed in the river to conform to its naturalness. Moreover, the lotus flower has the meaning of "holy". Therefore, it is most suitable to use the lotus flower pattern when the Qingming Festival is used.

Tao Siyan also said that the custom of releasing river lights has existed in ancient times. The earliest record of the river lanterns in Nanjing was in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, during the Ching Ming Festival, it was very popular to go out to sweep and walk, so the prayer activities and the Ching Ming Festival The folklore theme is echoed. This is the first time this year the country has listed Ching Ming Festival as a statutory holiday, which provides an opportunity to restore the development of folk culture.

Tao Siyan also suggested that when the "Clearing the River Lights" event was held in the Confucius Temple Scenic Area, it would introduce popular folk activities such as flying kites, cockfighting, and polo, and selling some of the favorite foods of Nanjing in the Qingming period, such as barley. Congee, Qing Tuanzi, etc., enrich the content of the first Qingming Folk Tourism Festival in Nanjing.

It is also known that from this year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Tanabata, Chongyang, Mid-Autumn Festival and other major Chinese traditional festivals, the Confucius Temple Scenic Area will also carry out lighting activities, such as the Dragon Boat Festival to put "Xunzi Light" and "Ship Light" as Lord, Tanabata put "Bian Tilian", "Magpie Lamp" and so on.
