Manchu people
After the Manchu people entered into China Proper and established Qing dynasty, they continued and developed the local tradition. The classic, "Dream of the Red Chamber", describes the bustling view of lanterns. Every year on Lantern Festival, hordes of people gathered in the vicinity of the Confucius Temple with gongs and drums making ear-piercing noises, the liveliness surpassed even the celebrations in Ming dynasty.
