Lunar Calendar Valentine day

2025.2.12. Chinese Lantern Festival. Tonight, it is the first full moon of the Lunar Calendar year. It is also the end of the CNY's celebration. It is time to do something different. The villages welcome the lantern festival. Kick off the night with some spring vibes. Colourful light lanterns are up in the dark sky, They clip along the street lamps' wires. People put up the New Year's scrolls, In supplication for wealth and health. It also extends to some family To find the perfect companion, For the daughters by the parents. A pair of red Chinese scrolls, Will be hung on each side of the main front door, Only a poem/riddle has been filled on one of the scroll, Waited for the suitable talented candidate, To complete the other side. The servant runs wild, To report to his master, Every time there is someone knocks on the door, And write the perfect rhymth well pairing poem. As the night concludes, The best written scroll will be decided. By the father of the potential bribe. The writer of the best poem, Would be chosen as the son-in-law. The bribe and groom will meet for the first time. Just like the show "Married at First sight". When everything goes well. The wedding trumpet's parade or the wedding's bell. Will not be far away. The brides had never interacted with strangers before. The Chinese scrolls challenge was their chance, To find, their talented and educated life partner. This was one of many way of match makers. This practice seems to change over the years. Couples can be found on dating sites, Not as traditionally and nice as it used to be.
