Ever wondered what a 300-year-old Lantern Festival looked like? Meet Niu Ruixue, a Beijing enthusiast turning back time with her enchanting ‘Myriad of Lights’ project! 🌟
Niu and her team at Courtyard No. 27 – a vibrant hub for seniors – are reigniting the historic Dengshikou Street celebrations. Think glowing lanterns, cultural nostalgia, and intergenerational storytelling, all designed to ‘light up’ the lives of older residents while preserving Beijing’s heritage.
💡Why it’s lit: The project draws from Qing Dynasty records to recreate lantern designs, traditional games, and folk performances. ‘It’s about connecting generations through shared memories,’ Niu says. For young culture buffs, it’s a golden ticket to experience Imperial-era China meets modern community vibes.
From calligraphy workshops to mooncake-making sessions, Courtyard No. 27 is fast becoming Beijing’s coolest time capsule. Ready to see history glow? 🔥
