The stars and the moon are in the sky, and thousands of candles are burning.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bianjing was extremely lively. Every household posted spring festival decorations and hung peach charms, and people visited relatives and friends to wish each other a happy new year. The streets were brightly lit at night, from the Song Gate in the east of the state to the south of the state, and the roadsides were filled with colorful tents filled with food, drink, clothing, and toys.
Every year at the beginning of the first lunar month, Kaifeng Prefecture would open its doors for three days, and these were the goods to be sold.
Gambling was quite popular in the Song Dynasty. Guanpu was actually another form of gambling, but unlike gambling, it was not banned by the government.
On the day when the government opened the gates, the whole city was filled with gates.
