As the staff rings a specially made bronze bell, the 2026 Chang'an Lantern Festival in Xi'an, Shaanxi will be lit up under the attention of the people, and the night sky of the millennium old ancient capital will be shining brightly. Outside the gate of the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, a red, gold, and blue intertwined steed with colorful lights stands tall and raises its hooves, as if about to step out of the spotlight, becoming a vivid background for tourists to take photos together. The lantern group in the park is colorful and dazzling, with more than 30 intangible cultural heritage techniques such as Su embroidery, bamboo weaving, and traditional Chinese opera headwear cleverly integrated into the lantern shadows. The "Dragon and Phoenix Show Auspiciousness" lantern group winds over the water, with golden dragons holding their heads high and colorful phoenixes spreading their wings, shining brightly to convey the auspiciousness of the New Year. Several tourists have just emerged from the maze of poetry inspired by the "Nine Curves of the Yellow River Formation" and have been thoroughly enjoying themselves. The red and gold colored lamp wall is engraved with over a hundred famous Tang poems. Walking among them, one can not only feel the grandeur of "my talents are naturally useful", but also appreciate the magnificence of "the falling of the Japanese yen in the long river". Li Ping, a student from Northwest University, held a small palace lantern in her hand, her eyes shining brightly. "These poems were 'awakened' by the light, as if she were conversing with a millennium old poet. This trip is not only a poetic journey, but also symbolizes the 'step by step blooming flowers and achieving success in learning' of the New Year, which touches people's hearts more than any blessing." Aida, an international student from Kazakhstan, praised in fluent Chinese, "It's so beautiful, like a dream!" She said that she chose to study in Xi'an, the starting point of the Silk Road, to personally experience this profound cultural atmosphere. In addition to various cultural experience activities, the Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area will also simultaneously hold characteristic markets in areas such as Yongning Gate, West Gate, and East Gate. Among them, the Yongning Gate Market Collection is themed around "Chang'an City with Hundred Fangs and Thousand Poems", focusing on non heritage cultural and creative activities, integrating traditional New Year's flavor with modern consumer demand. Cultural performances are centered around the Tang style, reproducing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty through NPC interactions, golden armor parades, situational performances, and other forms, deeply integrating with the lantern scene. Wang Qing, the cultural recommendation officer of Datang Furong Garden, excitedly told reporters: "The Chang'an Lantern Festival is writing a magnificent poem of 'thousands of doors unlocked and thousands of lights shining' with its unique 'Chinese style romance'
