Red during the day and bright at night. In the past few days, the night view of the lanterns in the People's Square of Zhaodong City has become a "hot item" in many people's WeChat circle of friends, attracting many citizens and tourists to "check in". Walking into the square, I saw dozens of kinds of lanterns with distinctive characteristics, integrating traditional culture with fashion trends, including the "full moon and flowers" lamps that imply family reunion and happy life, and the "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang" lamps that set off the festive atmosphere, as well as the "New Year's greetings to the five grains" lamps that symbolize the peace of the country and the people, the harvest and the abundance, etc., which are beautiful. The jubilant lantern exhibition connects the "local atmosphere" and gathers "popularity".
