元宵喜乐 During the Lantern Festival on February 5th 2023 at the Forbidden City, Beijing, China, People’s Republic of China , a full moon passes through the turrets of the Forbidden City, and it is in the same frame as the ridge beast, which is too beautiful to behold. According to astronomy science experts, the Lantern Festival of the Year of the Rabbit in Guimao is “15 moons and 16 rounds”, and the full moon will appear in the early morning of the 6th. This round of the roundest Lantern Festival moon is not only the first full moon this year, but also the smallest full moon in 2023. 

On this day on the 5th February 2023 on the fifteenth day of Chinese lunar new year festival is the lantern festival or known as Chinese Valentine’s Day…. in which this painting is inspired by the Hangzhou West lake storytelling of the legend of the white snake…..

The early days, young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love. Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns were symbolic of good luck and hope…… Lantern Festival is one of the events they can go out and join in the celebration. And that’s when other young guys can get to meet the ladies. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is sometimes referred to as Chinese Valentine’s Day. There will also be big displays of lanterns in some major parks or open space.

Love inscribed in poems

The other evidence of the Lantern Festival being Chinese Valentine’s Day is recorded in Chinese literature. In the thousands of ancient poems passed on from the Tang and Song dynasties, many depicted ardent love for their partners.

Not only was love engraved in ancient poems, but also sceneries and the boisterous carnivals of the Lantern Festival, when the nights were as bright as the daytime with hundreds of lanterns burning.

The festive atmosphere, the performances, and the moonlight jointly created the best time for a date.

The history of the festival could be traced back to the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.), and the celebrations were gradually enriched, expanded and settled in succeeding dynasties. But from the very beginning, lanterns have been an indispensable part of the day.

Today it’s the 18th February 20201 marks the day of the Rain Solar Solstice… also the prelude for the Spring Season… in which also to returning back to work from the seven day Chinese lunar New Year Holiday that’s celebrated across the Chinese- Asian Communities globally around the world also in China- People’s Republic of China.. ……..Today, 雨水, start working well at 18:44 today, the rainy solar terms are ushered in. The connotation of the rain solar term is “the east wind thaws, the ice and snow are scattered and turned into water, and turned into rain, hence the name rain”. This day coincides with the sixth day of “Seven Nine”, and it is already the season of “Seven Nine Rivers open and Bajiu Geese”. At this time, the river breaks the ice, the wild geese return north, the vegetation sprouts, and the earth presents a scene of prosperity.

In 古宫知时节- Forbidden city, @宋英杰Song Yingjie Beijing –   Haidian District weather presenter wrote: Rain is the most popular name, and the most common saying is: The rain solar term is the solar term that starts to rain. The original meaning of rain climate refers to the Yellow River Basin where solar terms originate. The probability of rainfall is higher than the probability of snowfall. Nationally, the rainy season has the smallest temperature rise in the entire spring solar term. Not only has the sunshine not increased, but has also decreased, which is unique. Why is this so? Because of the rainy season, the sky changes from snow to rain, and the ground changes from freezing to thawing. This is a systematic project that takes time and energy, so the recovery is weak. In the process of melting snow and warm spring flowers, the rain solar term is a tough “ice-breaking” solar term. The spring blossoms in the spring season are all icing on the cake on this basis….

During the year’s 2020, the second decade from the turn of the century in Beijing the Capital of China also the People’s Republic of China, in which is also the year of the rat, marking its six hundred years anniversary of the Forbidden city that marks the transitional point of in between the middle of the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) transitionally from Nanjing to Beijing towards the Qing Dynasty (1636-1644-1911) …. The Imperial Palace seen so many countless seasonally transitional equinoxes but further its six hundred years is iconic, but it’s five hundred ninety nine years it marks it Autumn Equinox…. In which it only took twelve years to build the same of the Daming Palace of The Tang Dynasty Xian Imperial Capital only it was least twenty times larger……
