Known as "the country of Buddhism", Thailand has many unique and famous traditional festivals in the world, such as Songkran Festival, Buddha's Birthday Festival and Summer Festival in Thailand. Today, Bian Xiao wants to introduce Latong, which is regarded as the most beautiful, romantic and mysterious place in Thailand. Let's get to know it now.

Every year on the evening of the 5th day of the Thai calendar1February1October (i.e. Gregorian calendar165438+1October), loi krathong is held in Thailand, which is the most meaningful and mythical festival among Thai people. At this time, just after the rainy season in Thailand, the river is high and the moon is in the sky. According to the traditional custom of Thailand, Thais will put their own water lanterns into the river on the day of sausage to express their good wishes and blessings.

As night falls, the most beautiful time of the Loire River begins. You can see boys and girls, or parents and their children. Everyone holds water lanterns of various shapes, such as tower, boat and lotus, among which lotus-shaped water lanterns are the most beautiful. Candles, flowers and colored paper flags are inserted in the middle of the water lamp to show the worship of the Buddha, and some coins are put on the water lamp to show charity.

Before putting on the water lanterns, everyone will close their eyes and mumble something after lighting the incense sticks, or pray for the safety and happiness of their families for a year, or pray for their children's academic progress. However, more and more young men and women are carrying water lanterns, and most of them pray for love, hoping to get married early and love will last forever.

Weenie night is always more lively the later. I saw people rushing to rivers or ports, canals and lakes. Where there is water, it is crowded with people carrying water lanterns and water lanterns. In Bangkok, the municipal government holds a grand and lively water lantern festival every year at the airport near Royal Yard, in conjunction with civil and commercial enterprises and schools. The activities are all-weather. There are Water Lantern Design Competition, Miss Water Lantern Beauty Contest, Singing Competition, Thai traditional "Red" drama and classical drama performances, which are really lively.

Many hotels, docks and bridges along the Mekong River are also crowded with people, and loi krathong Song and Dance Festival will be held. As a result, there are songs flying everywhere, flowers floating, and a happy scene of singing and dancing. Loi krathong has become one of the happiest festivals in Thailand. Even many foreign tourists will gladly join the Thai people in celebrating the excitement of loi krathong. Everyone will happily put on water lanterns and sing and dance together.

About the origin of Thai sausage, there are various legends recorded in Thai history books, and there are several beautiful legends. One of them is the Sukhothai Dynasty, the first dynasty in Thailand more than 800 years ago. Every year, at the full moon of the Thai calendar1February 15, residents gather in the capital to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The emperor will follow suit and swim with the dragon boat in the river, and the queen and concubines will also swim with the holy driver. At that time, the subjects were swimming in the river, and then under the auspices of the king, the whole city was jubilant with fireworks all night.

It is said that there was an imperial concubine named Nano Palmas in the imperial dynasty at that time, who was ingenious and full of artistic genius. She ingeniously folded banana leaves into lotus-shaped lantern boats, decorated with flower-and-bird patterns carved with fruits, inserted flowers, lit incense sticks, and put them into the water to make them float in the wind to express her gratitude to the Buddha and the river god.

The king was overjoyed and ordered to take this water lamp as an example, and the annual1February 15 in the Thai calendar is loi krathong. Since then, it has become a common practice to make all kinds of water lanterns every time you go to sausage. With the passage of time, the shapes and styles of water lanterns have become more and more diverse, and the production technology has become more and more sophisticated and skilled.
