The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is not just about eating! Its contents also include acrobatics, performing martial arts, playing social fire (walking on stilts, running dry boats, dancing lions, dragons and yangko) and so on. On the sixteenth night of the first month, "going through all kinds of diseases" and "crossing the bridge and hitting nails" are even more distinctive. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of "walking across the bridge and hitting nails" prevailed in old Beijing. On the 16th night of the first month of the Lantern Festival, women put on white silk shirts and went out side by side in droves, arm in arm, one holding incense to clear the way in front, followed by other women, which was called "walking away from all diseases". Crossing the bridge at the same speed is called "expiration" It is said that the life of this bridge is not long. Those who cross the bridge can avoid back and leg pain for one year. And "hitting a nail" means that a woman goes to the gate hole and touches a copper nail on the gate, which means that this move is "suitable for men", that is, "giving birth to a boy". Walking away from all diseases is a kind of fitness exercise to eliminate all diseases through sightseeing and walking, which is mostly carried out among women, the elderly, children or the infirm. This activity was initially limited to women. In the old society, women tended to do housework and raise children, so they were tired and weak, and were prone to illness. On the evening of the 16th day of the first month of every year, the main purpose is to go out for a stroll, which means to dispel the diseases at home. Over time, traditional customs have been formed. This custom is still preserved in suburban villages, and "peer with all diseases" has become one of the important contents of traditional culture through the enrichment and development of past dynasties. In modern times, there are also people who walk during the day, such as women with children in their arms, patients with hands and old people with crutches. On country roads, Woods, hills and rivers, people are wandering everywhere. They walk and watch, and sometimes sing, feeling refreshed. Through field trips, they can enjoy picturesque scenery and breathe fresh air, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health.

The ancient capital Beijing has a long history. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been the political and cultural center of China, where many nationalities live together, which makes the traditional folk customs in Beijing have a long history and are particularly colorful. Abandoning the color of feudal superstition of "walking on a bridge" and "walking on top of all diseases" does not contain the far-reaching significance of "disease prevention and fitness" and "health preservation"? Nowadays, people's colorful spring outing activities, extensive winter long-distance running and various mass cultural and sports activities are also the continuation and development of the traditional custom of "walking away from all diseases".
