What are the compositions for making lanterns during the Lantern Festival?

The Lantern Festival is coming, and I'm thinking of making a lantern to celebrate this festival. According to my father, Gong Deng, also known as Gong Deng, is one of the traditional Chinese handicrafts, and it is very distinctive among China lanterns. Official lanterns began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties, with strong local characteristics. Lights, as the name implies, are used in the palace. They are mainly colored lights with fine wood as the skeleton, inlaid with silk yarn and glass, and painted with various patterns. They are famous for their elegance and court style. Because it has been used by the court for a long time, in addition to lighting, it must be accompanied by elaborate and complicated decoration to show the wealth and luxury of the emperor. Oh, this palace lantern is really gorgeous. I have to make one. I designed the bottom. Besides the beautiful shape, there are several paper Hu Die on it. Therefore, I call it "Butterfly Palace Lantern". The skeleton of this lantern is made up of many sticks of different sizes. It's hard to do. Let me tell you from the beginning.

The skeleton of this lantern is made up of many branches. I met with a little difficulty in the assembly process. The stick is either too thin or too thick. Just when I was at my wit's end, my mother said, "You can sharpen the stick with a knife." Yeah, I suddenly understand. The skeleton will be finished soon. Next, the most exciting moment came, and I began to draw lantern cloth. I found the material very early and drew it on the cloth. Many things happen, and I finally finished the task of drawing lantern cloth.

The next task is very important. I first stick the double-sided adhesive tape on the skeleton of the lantern, then tear it off, and then cover the lantern cloth on the skeleton, and most of the lanterns are finished. Then, I put the candle in the lantern. But at the last step, I was puzzled, because there was a rope and a piece of wood in the material bag, which seemed useless. Could it be misplaced? After careful thinking and careful consideration, I finally found a hole in the stick, and the rope could just go in and tie it to the stick, so that the lantern could be carried in my hand. The last problem is solved, and a beautiful butterfly palace lantern is finished.

I walked around with the light on, and everyone I saw was surprised. I am proud of the lantern I made!
