Cultural concept of lanterns;
China's lanterns combine 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. Lanterns are closely related to the people of China. There are lanterns everywhere in temples and living rooms. After careful calculation, it was after Qin and Han Dynasties that China had lights, and it was after the invention of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty that there were paper lanterns.
China's lanterns are not only used for lighting, but also a symbol. Wu Dunhou said that he used to make bridal lanterns (that is, palace lanterns) to represent wedding celebrations; Bamboo lanterns announce that this is a funeral occasion; Umbrella lamp (word surname lamp), because "lamp" and "Ding" have the same pronunciation, which means that people are prosperous.
Therefore, in the past, every family had a surname lamp hanging under the eaves and in the living room. Today, there are still two big lanterns in front of the head of the gods, which is the continuation of this custom.
However, the lantern is probably the most reverie and expectation of the Lantern Festival. The custom of watching lanterns on Lantern Festival originated in the early years of the Han Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, in order to celebrate the country's prosperity and security, lanterns were tied, symbolizing "colorful dragons are auspicious, the people are rich and the country is strong" with flickering lights. So far, the custom of lanterns has become widely popular.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established Nanjing as the capital of Ming Dynasty, he burned ten thousand water lanterns on Qinhuai River. In Yongle Dynasty, a lamp post was erected at the Wumen Gate, and a "lamp market" was set outside Huamen Gate, so that there were still "dengshikou" streets in Beiping.
After the Republic of China, although the practice of lanterns still existed, it was much more dull. Fortunately, nowadays, lanterns are gradually playing an important role in home decoration due to the fever in China. However, some materials of lanterns have changed from paper and bamboo to cloth, plastic and iron wire, and their shapes and colors are quite different from the traditional ones.
Lanterns have other meanings besides lighting. Every year when the private school (an ancient school) starts school in the first month, parents will prepare a lantern for their children, which will be lit by the teacher to symbolize the bright future of the students. It is called "turning on the light". Later, it evolved into the custom of carrying lanterns on the Lantern Festival.
Because the pronunciation is similar to "Tian Ding", lanterns are also used to pray for children. In the era of Japanese occupation, patriots painted folk stories on lanterns to teach their children and grandchildren to know their own culture, so it has the significance of passing on from generation to generation.
