The origin of hanging lanterns in the Spring Festival. Spring Festival lanterns in China are also called lanterns. Originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 1800 years ago, China New Year lanterns symbolizing reunion are hung around the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year to create a festive atmosphere.

Later, lanterns became a symbol of happiness for the people of China. Through the inheritance and development of lantern artists in past dynasties, colorful varieties and exquisite craftsmanship have been formed. 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. Besides, there are lanterns for people to enjoy.

Spring Festival lanterns in China are made of bamboo, wood, rattan, straw, animal horn, metal, silk and other materials produced in various regions. Palace lanterns and gauze lanterns are the most famous lanterns in ancient China.

According to legend, there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, with long tentacles and a ferocious face. Nian lived on the seabed 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 the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast. 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 leaning on crutches, carrying a bag on his arm, with elegant silver whiskers and staring at Matthew. Some villagers sealed windows and locked doors, some packed their bags, some herded cattle and drove sheep, and people shouted hisses everywhere, which was a scene of panic. At this time, who still has the mind to take care of this begging old man?

Only an old woman in the village east gave the old man some food and suggested that he 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. When the old woman looked at him carefully, she found that he was young, healthy, energetic and had an extraordinary world outlook. But she continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word. My 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 at the east end of the village had red paper on her door and the room was brightly lit.

The beast Nian trembled and let out a long whistle. Nian stared at her mother-in-law's house for a while, then screamed and rushed over. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the yard. Nian trembled and dared not go any further. It turns out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. "Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in confusion.

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 the promise of begging for the elderly. The 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 yard, and a few red candles still glowing in the house ... In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, the 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 has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China. Similarly, hanging red lanterns is also for "Chinese New Year", which has been passed down to this day.

Through my introduction, you know the significance of hanging lanterns in the Spring Festival. Hanging lanterns during the Spring Festival symbolizes reunion and celebration.

Colorful paintings on lanterns can not only create colorful visual effects, but also often convey people's good wishes for life. Under the light, colorful lanterns fill the hall like proud as a peacock, and the magical colors in the room create a dreamy state, which is enough for you to enjoy on this special Valentine's Day in China. Not to mention the extremely comfortable feeling 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 ordinary paper directly on the skeleton of the lantern and then color it. The latter is a very difficult technique, and because it is done before painting, the clarity and looseness 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 the design of lanterns is concerned, Lantern Festival lanterns pay special attention to the meaning of the design itself. Traditional patterns include dragons, phoenixes, tigers, pine cranes, flowers and birds, the god of wealth, the husband of your dreams, and making money into treasures. In the Year of the Sheep, there are goats, sheep and other different kinds and colors of sheep on lanterns, which all indicate good luck and rich resources at the beginning of the new year. Looking forward to the new year's atmosphere during the holiday season, my heart is happy. In addition, different times and different rooms have different choices of lantern paintings. The living room and porch are suitable for hanging lanterns with traditional patterns, and the elderly rooms are suitable for choosing lanterns related to their interests and life background. The children's room will of course show the most vivid pictures in the simplest way. In fact, children's lanterns can also be used by 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 Festival spirit. Write people's New Year's wishes directly on lanterns. For thousands of years, as the carrier of people's thoughts and lives, the charm of words has once again found a relaxing space, and the rich cultural accumulation has been happily released at this moment. People at home read these beautiful wishes every day, live happily and pursue something. Calligraphy, like lantern painting, can be divided into direct writing and indirect pasting. But unlike painting, because it is difficult to write after making spherical or special-shaped lanterns, it is generally more suitable for the existing calligraphy, while it is much easier to write square and cylindrical lanterns, on which you can write your own good wishes for the new year at will. There is no need to care if you are a vivid calligrapher. All you need is to relax and "clone" the most natural font on the lantern. So, what is the word on the lantern? Traditions include "blessing", "auspiciousness", "peaceful and prosperous times" and "bumper harvest of grains". As it is the Year of the Sheep, good wishes such as "Three Sheep Open Thailand" are also reflected on the paper. Of course, you can also write your own warm-hearted couplets on the lanterns in the front door, and you can't forget to write your motto on the lanterns in the bedroom, or write your lover's nickname affectionately, etc. If you don't come to a poem with the names of yourself and your lover, you won't feel it. In fact, the calligraphy fonts on lanterns are also exquisite. Generally speaking, official script and running script lanterns are more suitable for hanging in the hall, running script and cursive script are suitable for lanterns in the bedroom, and cheering calligraphy is most suitable for children's rooms.

Paper-cut lantern

Paper-cutting is one of the most popular folk arts in China, especially in the northeast, where every household will stick paper-cutting during the Spring Festival. Nowadays, paper-cutting is more used for decoration, so Cantonese might as well borrow it. Paper-cutting can be used to decorate walls, doors and windows, house columns, mirrors and so on. , 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, paste several paper-cuts (usually no more than 8) together, and finally process the pattern with sharp scissors. Knife scissors first fold the paper into several folds, put it on the soft mixture of ashes and animal fat, and then slowly carve it with a knife. Paper-cutting artists usually hold a knife vertically and process the paper into the desired pattern according to a certain model. Compared with scissors, one advantage of knife scissors is that they can be processed into various paper-cut patterns at one time. There are three kinds of common paper-cut lanterns in Lantern Festival: one is mainly based on patterns. For example, cut off five bees and put lanterns on them, which means "five grains are abundant (lights)"; Cutting magpies and plums on decorative lights is called "Magpies Climbing Plums"; Cutting five dolls means "five children go to the lighting department" The other is mainly writing. This is consistent with the characters in the calligraphy on lanterns mentioned above. Then there is the fusion of patterns and characters, and the combination of image thinking of patterns and rational thinking of characters will naturally become a unique landscape of the Lantern Festival home.
