Calligraphy lanterns

My own beautiful vision for the New Year. There is no need to worry about whether you are an expressive calligrapher. All you need is to relax and "clone" the most natural fonts onto the lantern.

Paper-cut is one of the most popular folk arts in China, especially in the Northeast, where every household has to put up paper-cuts during the Spring Festival. Today, paper-cutting is mostly used for decoration, so Cantonese people might as well borrow it for use. Paper-cutting can be used to decorate walls, doors, windows, pillars, mirrors, etc., and can also be used to decorate lanterns. There are generally two methods for paper-cutting lanterns: scissor cutting and knife cutting. Scissor cutting is done with the help of scissors. After cutting, several (usually no more than 8) paper cuts are pasted together, and finally the pattern is processed with sharp scissors. For knife and scissors, the paper is first folded into several stacks, placed on a soft mixture composed of ash and animal fat, and then slowly carved 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 knives and scissors is that they can be processed into multiple paper-cut patterns at one time. There are three common types of content for Lantern Festival paper-cut lanterns: one is mainly based on patterns. For example, cutting out grains and bees and pasting them on a lantern represents "a good harvest (Lamp)"; cutting out magpie plum blossoms and decorating them on a lantern is called "Magpie Climbing (Lamp) Plum"; cutting five dolls means "Five Sons Climbing (Lamp) Branch" . The other type is mainly text-based. This is consistent with the text in the calligraphy on the lantern mentioned earlier. Then there is the integration of patterns and words. Combining the image thinking of patterns with the rational thinking of words naturally becomes a unique scenery in the Yuanxiao family.
