What lanterns are there in the Lantern Festival?

1, lantern. 2. Turn off the knife light. 3. Rabbit lamp.

A candle is lit in the lantern, and the heat generated by the candle causes airflow and turns the axle. There is paper-cut on the axle, and the shadow of paper-cut is projected on the screen by candlelight, and the image keeps moving. Because there are many pictures of ancient military commanders riding horses on all sides of the lamp, it seems that several people are chasing it when the lamp rotates, so it is named lantern. The knife-collecting lamp is made according to the legendary dragon crescent moon knife used by Guan Gong before his death. It means to protect peace. The rabbit lamp is a three-headed parallel * * * body, with the big head in the middle, commonly known as "rabbit girl" and the small heads on both sides, so it is called "thin rabbit". Take the bamboo stick as the skeleton, paste red, white and green paper, insert the wick, light it and carry it away. Because rabbits can have children, rabbit lanterns mean a full house of children.

Lantern Festival originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who set up an altar in the palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to worship the most distinguished sun god at that time. Because it is held all night, it is necessary to light all night, which is the beginning of Lantern Festival lighting.
