The Lantern Festival is approaching, and the northern area of Taopu continues the strong "sense of ritual" of the festival for residents with a rich and profound Lantern Festival theme activity.
Recently, Taopu Town held a Lantern Festival theme activity of "Seeking New Year's Flavor and Picking Up New Year's Customs" in the northern area of Taopu. With the core content of "Pursuing Folk Culture in Traditional Festivals", the event integrates intangible cultural heritage culture into it for residents to experience "immersively", and links with surrounding neighborhood committees and multiple communities to organize community volunteers to gather and celebrate together, injecting impetus into the struggle of the new year.
In the afternoon of the same day, the event officially kicked off, and the flag awarding ceremony of the volunteer service team was held on the spot, marking the official establishment of the "Taoxin Volunteer Service Team", which will fully participate in the service of the area and the surrounding community construction work in the future. It has lasted nearly four months since the official launch of the area, and behind the rapid growth and abundant harvest, it is inseparable from the selfless dedication of a large number of community volunteers, and in the process of continuously enhancing its influence, it has gathered a strong force of "co-governance". A commendation ceremony was also held at the scene to recognize the outstanding contributors and outstanding teams in the volunteer group in the form of awards, and to express gratitude to the whole community for their silent support.
After the ceremony, the Lantern Festival's indispensable activities such as guessing lantern riddles and tasting rice balls took turns. "Lantern riddles" are a folk entertainment game with Chinese characteristics that has been passed down for thousands of years, and behind every ingenious word riddle, there are beautiful and auspicious meanings or interesting little knowledge. Everyone challenged each other with great interest, and some residents had a lively discussion about the puzzles; A steaming bowl of Lantern Festival warms everyone's body and mind in the cold weather, allowing sweetness to stay on the tip of the tongue and happiness to spread in life.
After the Lantern Festival, a warm spring is coming; The first full moon of the new year is the beginning of all good things. In the future, Taopu Town will continue to polish the service business card of "love Taopu and be more reliable", and contribute more Taopu strength to the high-quality development of Putuo with more enthusiasm, more pragmatic attitude and more effective measures.
