Taizhou | Huangyan Ningxi Town Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage 'Lantern Festival on the Second Day of the Second Month'

Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage 'Lantern Festival on the Second Day of the Second Month' is a traditional folk festival in the area of Ningxi Town, Huangyan. It is said to have originated in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly 800 years. It is not only a large-scale folk temple fair and lantern festival, but also a grand gathering of folk arts activities including folk songs and dances, folk music, folk operas, folk acrobatics, and folk games. During the second day of the second lunar month, follow the spring dragon through Songqu Straight Street, slowly savoring along the tipsy route. Outside the bustling area, amidst the lantern lights, and within the ancient town, one is truly intoxicated by the world. Admire the thousand lanterns of enlightenment, watch the colorful performances, stroll through the tipsy flash events, and wander through the fireworks market. The poetry of 'Dazzling colors spread across the land, brilliant lights stitch the sky afar' is brought into reality, allowing the traditional festival to compose a new chapter of splendor.
