Spring Festival lanterns in China are also collectively called lanterns. Originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 18 years ago, Chinese New Year lanterns symbolizing reunion are hung around the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year to create a festive atmosphere.

Later, lanterns became a symbol of China people's happiness. Through the inheritance and development of lantern artists in past dynasties, it has formed rich and colorful varieties and superb craftsmanship. There are palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, chandeliers and so on. From the modeling point of view, there are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects, etc., in addition to which there are lanterns for people to enjoy.

China's Spring Festival lanterns are made of bamboo, wood, rattan, wheat straw, animal horn, metal, silk and other materials produced in various regions, which are integrated with painting art, paper cutting, paper binding and stitching. Palace lanterns and gauze lanterns are the most famous lanterns made in ancient China.

According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, which had long tentacles and was ferocious. Nian lived at the bottom of the sea for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, eating livestock and hurting people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in villages and villages fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of "Nian" animals. On New Year's Eve this year, people in Taohua Village were taking refuge in the mountains, when an old beggar came from outside the village. He was walking on crutches, with a bag on his arm and elegant silver whiskers, and his eyes were on Matthew. Some villagers sealed windows and locked doors, some packed their bags, some herded cattle and drove sheep, and people shouted hiss everywhere, which was a scene of panic. At this time, who has the heart to take care of the begging old man?

Only an old woman at the head of the village gave the old man some food and advised him to go up the mountain quickly to avoid the "Nian" beast. The old man smiled and said, "If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive the" Nian "beast away. The old woman was surprised to look closely, and saw that he was handsome, energetic and extraordinary. But she continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word. Mother-in-law had no choice but to leave home and take refuge in the mountains. At midnight, Nian beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house in the east of the village had red paper on the door and the house was brightly lit.

The beast Nian shook all over and gave a strange cry. " Years "glared at her mother-in-law's house for a moment, and then screamed and rushed over. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the courtyard. Nian trembled and dared not go forward again. It turns out that Nian is most afraid of red, fire and exploding. "At this moment, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and an old man in a red robe was laughing in the courtyard. Years "frightened to disgrace, mess fled up.

The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers about the promise of begging the old man. Villagers flocked to the old woman's house together, only to see red paper on her mother-in-law's door, a pile of unburned bamboo still exploding in the courtyard, and a few red candles in the house were still glowing ... In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, ecstatic villagers put on new clothes and hats one after another and went to relatives and friends' houses to congratulate and say hello. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast.

Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers; Every household is brightly lit by candlelight, and it is better to wait for the new year. In the early morning of the first day, I have to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China. Similarly, hanging red lanterns is also for "Chinese New Year" and has been handed down since then.

In terms of shapes, there are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects, etc.

Besides, there are lanterns for people to enjoy. China's lanterns are a combination of painting art, paper-cutting, paper-binding, sewing and other techniques.

Among the lanterns made in ancient China, palace lanterns and gauze lanterns are the most famous.

besides lighting, lanterns have other meanings.

The word surname lamp

One side of the lamp is the surname, and the other side is the official name once held by the ancestors. For example, the surname "Xie" is Prince Shaobao, and the surname "Zheng" is Yanping Shaowang.

Auspicious Lantern

One side of the lantern is the surname or the name of God, and the other side is the auspicious patterns such as the Eight Immortals (Lv Dongbin, He Xiangu, etc.) and Fu Lushou Samsung.

The general type

is the same as font lights and auspicious lights, with family names, names of gods or auspicious words on one side and auspicious patterns on the other.

The characters and pictures drawn on the official lamp are the same as those on the general lamp, except that the bottom is black and the characters are gold. This kind of lantern can't be hung until the emperor gives it.

The celebration of the Spring Festival is still on my mind, and the joy of Lantern Festival is on my brow again. The festive and auspicious atmosphere of the red window grilles, big blessings, colored balls, bells and lucky stars in the Spring Festival is still spreading, and the red lanterns of Yuanxiao will be hung high again! The home is embraced by a rich festive atmosphere, and the lanterns with different colors rekindle the joy of the New Year, and happiness has become a common occurrence on your table.

Colorful paintings on lanterns can not only create colorful visual effects, but also often convey people's good wishes for life. Under the illumination of the light, the colorful lantern paintings fill the hall like proud as a peacock, and the magical colors in the room create a dreamlike state, which is enough for you to enjoy on this special Valentine's Day in China. Not to mention the extremely comfortable feelings brought by the wonderful meanings of various paintings. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of lantern paintings: one is to use the existing paintings and paste them after the lantern skeleton is finished; The other is to paste plain paper directly on the skeleton of the lantern and then paint it. The latter is a very difficult skill, and because it is done before painting, the clarity and relaxation degree of the pattern are better. Relatively speaking, the former is more suitable for square lanterns (including square lanterns and hexagonal lanterns with geometric planes), while the latter is generally suitable for all kinds of lanterns. As far as lanterns draw patterns, Lantern Festival lanterns pay special attention to the meaning of the patterns themselves. Traditional patterns include dragon, phoenix, tiger, pine crane, flowers and birds, god of wealth, wishful boy, and making money into treasure. In the Year of the Sheep, there are goats, sheep and other sheep with different kinds and colors on lanterns, which all indicate good luck at the beginning of the new year and abundant financial resources. Looking forward to the new year's new atmosphere during the festive season, my heart is happy. In addition, the selection of lantern paintings in different ages and different rooms is also different. Living rooms and porches are suitable for hanging lanterns with traditional patterns, while elderly rooms are suitable for choosing lanterns related to their interests and life background. Children's rooms will of course show the most lively pictures in the simplest way. In fact, the lantern picture in the children's room can be used by children themselves. Drawing a cute little animal, a favorite "cartoon messenger" or painting it as an "abstract painting school" can add a lot of color to the room.

Calligraphy Lantern

If painting is more the image of Lantern Festival, calligraphy is the carrier of lantern spirit. Write people's wishes for the New Year directly on lanterns. For thousands of years, the charm of words, the carrier of people's thoughts and lives, has once again found a relaxing space, and the rich cultural accumulation has been released happily at this moment. People at home read these beautiful wishes every day and live happily and with something to pursue. Like lantern painting, calligraphy can be divided into direct writing and indirect pasting. However, unlike painting, because it is very difficult to write after making spherical or special-shaped lanterns, it is generally more suitable for existing calligraphy, while it is much easier to write square and cylindrical lanterns, on which you can write down your beautiful vision for the New Year at will. There is no need to care whether you are a vivid calligrapher or not. All you need is to relax and "clone" the most natural font on the lantern. So, what are the words on the lanterns? The traditional ones are "blessing", "auspiciousness", "peaceful and prosperous times" and "abundant harvest of grains", and as it is the Year of the Sheep, the good wishes such as "Three Sheep Open Thailand" are also reflected on the paper. Of course, you can also write your own heart-warming couplets on the lanterns in the front door, and you can't forget to write your own motto on the lanterns in the bedroom, or write your lover's nickname affectionately, etc. If you don't come to a poem with your own and your lover's name, you won't have a feeling. In fact, the calligraphy font on the lanterns is also exquisite. Generally speaking, the lanterns in official script and running script are more suitable for hanging in the hall, while the running script and cursive script are suitable for using on the lanterns in the bedroom, while the cheering calligraphy is the most appropriate for children's rooms.

Paper-cut lanterns

Paper-cut is one of the most popular folk arts in China, especially in Northeast China, where every household will stick paper-cut during the Spring Festival. Today, paper-cutting is more used for decoration, so Cantonese people might as well borrow it. Paper-cutting can be used to decorate walls, doors and windows, house columns, mirrors, etc., and can also be used to decorate lanterns. There are generally two ways to cut paper for lanterns: scissors and knife scissors. Scissors are scissors. After cutting, several paper-cuts (usually no more than 8) are pasted together, and finally the patterns are processed with sharp scissors. Knife scissors first fold the paper into several folds, put it on a soft mixture of ash and animal fat, and then slowly carve it with a knife. Paper-cutting artists usually hold the knife vertically and process the paper into the desired pattern according to a certain model. Compared with scissors, one advantage of knife scissors
