Festivals Toys
节日玩具
Toys during festivals are quite flowery and customary. In the Spring Festival, people use firecrackers and fireworks; in the Lantern Festival, there are lanterns in the shape of lotus, monkeys, dragons, etc; in the Pure Brightness kites will be flown in the blue sky;and during the Dragon Boat Festival, people will take sachet with them. Old people's sachet looks like a peach,symbolizing longevity while children's sachets are of lovely patterns, with fragrant herbs inside to ward off evil spirits. In ancient times, they were also a token of love that a girl would give to her beloved.
在节日期间玩具都相当华丽和的习惯的。在春节,人们用鞭炮和烟花;在元宵节,有莲花,猴子,龙,等形状的灯笼;在清明风筝会在蓝天飞行;而端午期间,人们会携带香包。老人们的香包看起来像桃子,象征着长寿,而孩子们的香囊是可爱的图案,里面有香草辟邪。在古代,它们也是爱情的信物,女孩通常会送给她心爱的人。
