Riddles Written on Lanterns in China - More than 3,000 years
中国的灯谜源远流长,至今已有三千多年的历史。春秋战国时期就出现了“廋词”和“隐语”,这是灯谜的雏形。到了汉代“隐语”开始分化为两个方向。一类以描写特征为主的事物谜;另一类以文字形义为主的文义谜。到了魏代,则称为“谜语”。隋唐时期随着诗歌的兴盛,诗谜大量出现,并成为主流。从宋代开始,一些文人学士常在元宵之夜,将谜条张贴在各种花灯之上,吸引行人猜射,“灯谜”就是这样而来的。清中叶以后,谜风大盛,涌现了许多谜师。辛亥革命后,灯谜形成了南宗北派两种风格。目前,在世界各地的华人华侨都有灯谜活动及灯谜学术交流。
