Let’s celebrate the Lantern Festival in memory of Emperor Chenghua (r.1464-1487) who ruled during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). There is an ancient painting of him in the collection of the National Museum of China.
Setting off firecrackers, admiring festive lanterns and watching acrobatics are typical activities to celebrate this occasion. Share the fun and happy Lantern Festival!
