What do you mean by ringing the bell at night?

Ring the bell at night is a traditional folk activity in China, which is usually held during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On this night, people will take a small bell and shake it in the street to pray for peace and happiness. This activity also has the significance of inheriting culture, so that the younger generation can understand the traditional festivals and cultural customs of China and increase their understanding of the feelings of home and country.

Bell ringing at night has a long history, which originated from the tradition of ancient Taoism in China. The ancients thought that the bell could hasten good luck and avoid evil, while ringing the bell could dissolve evil spirits and increase people's good luck. Later, this tradition gradually evolved into a folk custom, and people prayed for peace and good luck by ringing bells.

Ringing the bell at night is not only a traditional cultural activity, but also represents people's pursuit of peace and happiness. In modern society, with the progress of science and technology and the rapid development of society, people's understanding of traditional culture has faded, but ringing the bell at night is still a warm and cordial cultural heritage, and it has also been given more new ideas, such as being used in tourism propaganda and cultural media activities.
