Firecrackers bid farewell to the old and encourage the spring tide, and gongs and drums celebrate the Lantern Festival to welcome the new. In order to vigorously promote traditional festival culture, children are guided to experience traditional culture and understand traditional folk customs through activities such as making glutinous rice balls and guessing lantern riddles. Recently, the Women's Federation of Nanhua County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province carried out a series of activities to celebrate the Lantern Festival for "children" at Longquan Community Children's Home and Xinhua Bookstore.
Everything you encounter is sweet when your childlike innocence is still intact, and the years are quiet and warm. Female volunteers and more than 30 children gathered at the children's home. The volunteers introduced the knowledge related to the Lantern Festival to the children and taught them how to make glutinous rice balls. The activity was lively and everyone worked together, from preparing colorful fruit and vegetable juices, kneading glutinous rice flour, rolling glutinous rice balls to making glutinous rice balls... The children all studied hard and experienced it themselves. They watched the cute colorful glutinous rice balls gradually taking shape, and the children laughed constantly. .
Volunteers explained the origins and customs of the Lantern Festival to the children, and also took the children to DIY dragon head hats and guess lantern riddles.
The lights are warm and people are reunited. Wearing dragon hats and eating glutinous rice balls made by themselves, the children's faces were filled with happy smiles. "This event gave the children a deeper and more concrete impression of the Lantern Festival, and allowed Chinese traditional culture to sprout a beautiful flower in the hearts of the children." said the person in charge of the Nanhua County Women's Federation.
