Wuxi: locals and foreigners celebrate Lantern Festival

Chinese and foreign visitors play tug-of-war in Mashan town, Wuxi, on Feb 21. It’s said that tug-of-war traces its origins to an aquatic weapon in the spring and autumn period (770-476 BC) – a weapon that used traction to keep enemy ships hooked onto from drifting downstream in retreat.
