The Lantern Festival of Eternal Vows A quiet riverside town under the glow of thousands of floating lanterns, set during the ancient Chinese Lantern Festival. The sky is painted in hues of soft lavender and blush pink, transitioning into the deep indigo of night, where delicate stars shimmer like embroidery on silk. Along the stone-paved streets, lovers walk in flowing hanfu, their sleeves brushing as they share whispers of poetry and eternal promises. The river is alive with lotus-shaped lanterns, each carrying a wish written in delicate calligraphy, glowing softly as they drift toward the horizon. At the town’s archway bridge, carved with dragon and phoenix motifs, a couple stands hand in hand, watching their lantern join the river of lights. A gentle rain of cherry blossoms falls from the sky, as if heaven itself is blessing their love. In the distance, the faint sound of laughter and guzheng music (古筝, traditional Chinese harp) lingers in the air, merging with the golden glow of the lanterns, creating a scene of timeless romance and fleeting beauty.
