Chapter 6 fire tree silver flower

Ruizong is the most enjoyable emperor among the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty. Although he has only been emperor for three years, no matter what festival, he always spends a lot of material resources and manpower for his entertainment.Every year on the night of the Lantern Festival on the first lunar month, a 20-foot-high tree of lanterns must be erected, and more than 50,000 lanterns will be lit, called the tree of fire.Later, the poet Su Weiwei took this as the title and wrote a poem describing its situation.His Yuanxi poem said: "Fire trees and silver flowers gather, star bridge iron locks open, dark dust follows horses, and bright moon follows people. Touring prostitutes are all seasons, singing songs are all falling plums, Jin Wu can't help but night, jade leaks don't remind each other. "This poem describes the lively situation at that time without any concealment, as if it was active in front of our readers.

This idiom describes a place full of lights, which looks like fiery trees and silver flowers.So now all prosperous cities, or grand gatherings held at night with bright lights, all use this sentence to describe it.
