What is Luoyang Palace Lantern like? What kinds are there? What is the main contribution of the Han Dynasty?

The biggest "unusual" feature of Zhang Hejia's tulle palace lantern Luoyang palace lantern is that it can be unfolded in time-consuming, does not need to be covered at any time, can be telescopic, calm and convenient for personal collection, so it is deeply loved by all walks of life. According to legend, 1894, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu passed by Luoyang, and saw the Luoyang Palace Lantern relax and loved it very much. After senior officials returned to Beijing, word of mouth told them to send people to Luoyang to buy lanterns, which contributed to the prosperity of Luoyang palace lantern manufacturing industry at that time. There are three ways to open a silk palace lantern: round palace lantern, old palace lantern (egg ring) and Ming palace lantern (rectangle).

Round palace lanterns, also known as door lanterns, are mainly used for the decoration of doors, so when people are rich, a lantern under the eaves outside the door is solemn and solemn, reflecting extraordinary splendour in joy.

Old-fashioned palace lantern Old-fashioned palace lantern, namely egg-shaped palace lantern, is a traditional style handed down from the older generation. Of course, the lamp type is smooth, and the key is to use it as a font size lamp in the store. When it comes to font-sized lights, we have to say "open the market" by the way. Therefore, Luoyang's commercial services are closed for leisure and entertainment during the Spring Festival holiday, and it is called "opening the market" after the end of the year. The sixth day of the first month is a "small opening", and merchants open the door at will. From January 10 to 14, the General Chamber of Commerce chooses the auspicious day of the ecliptic, and the unified commercial services in our city will be "wide open".

At 3 o'clock that day, the merchants in our city were noisy, setting off firecrackers and setting off fireworks, which was very lively. Regardless of "big opening" or "small opening", merchants should hang "font lights" at the door of the store. Then write the shop name and business content on the lamp. The lamp type is beautiful and generous, emphasizing fonts. Take this opportunity to attract passers-by to stop and evaluate.

No matter "round", "old" and "clean", each kind of palace lantern has more than a dozen styles, including red and white, single yarn, double silk and brocade. When making, we will make it according to the actual main use.

Assembling square painted palace lanterns This kind of palace lantern is square and its frame is made of wood. It can be disassembled and assembled, which is very convenient for personal collection. There are "Fang Bai Ling", "Fang Eighteen Arhats" and "Thick Square Lamps". The frame is made of black walnut, basswood and poplar. But it is also mahogany furniture and black rosewood used by wealthy families, which is the best in natural light. There are carved figures on all sides of the square palace lantern frame, and the lamp surface pays attention to painting. Generally, local celebrities write ancient poems and paint landscapes, flowers and birds.

Painted palace lanterns with assembled frames are all wooden frames, which can be disassembled and installed, and there are also fixed brackets that cannot be disassembled. Wooden palace lanterns, like square ones, include hexagonal faucet palace lanterns, fan-shaped palace lanterns, various wall lanterns, butterfly-shaped palace lanterns, table lanterns and box lanterns. Lace patterns include carvings, relief patterns and lace patterns.

Playing with lanterns, colored lights and paper lanterns is a common way for children to play with lanterns during the Lantern Festival. There are many kinds of lanterns, colorful, fixed, movable and controlled. There are mainly monkey lights, sheep-to-sheep glare lights, horse racing lights, moon rabbit lights, red-crowned crane lights, faucet lights, three-section dragon lights, pagoda panel lights, corridor room lights, small floor lights, red gauze lights, fenugreek lights, six or six light strings, square light bulbs and so on. As a toy, this kind of lamp is generally rough in workmanship, but some are exquisite in quality. There is yarn, silk and paper on the lamp surface.

What is the main contribution of the Han Dynasty? The important contribution of the Han dynasty should be the consolidation and optimization of the Qin system, which implemented a series of reform measures, promoted the main force of production, really facilitated the factors of production, and was conducive to national unity. This is also an important reason why the comprehensive national strength defeated the Han Dynasty and occupied more than half of China in the early days of the People's Republic of China. But the unification of all parts of the country and the prosperity of the economy were not the contributions of the Han Dynasty. The main factors are: the Han Dynasty did not develop productive forces because of economic prosperity. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ada wanted to attach himself to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao refused, so he ran to make Liu Biao emperor.

When Yuan Shao was emperor, he was poor and poor, and he had to pay annual tribute to Liu Biao every year, which was equivalent to the rules and regulations of land tax in Han Dynasty. Later, because Liu Bei was worshipped as the adoptive father, Yuan Shao also changed into a powerful person. Since Liu Bei's death, Liu Bei has been regarded as a child. Two years after Liu Bei's death, North Korea handed over Liu Qi, Liu Bei's eldest son, to Chen Zuo, a senior official. Chen only mastered the court for two or three years. This means that Liu Qi really became the puppet of the later emperor, and he didn't even have the right to directly adopt his son.

Until Liu Qi died, Cao Cao wanted to abolish Liu Qi, but there was nothing he could do. This is also an important reason for the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the last 400 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of emperors changed from 17 to 8, and two more important officials were Cao Cao himself. So Cao Cao merged and dominated enterprises in vassal States, which opened the historical time of the struggle between emperors and eunuchs, and many messy things appeared, the most famous of which was the Yellow Scarf Uprising in the Han Dynasty and the Battle of Three Caos.

Due to the abdication of the Qing emperor, Cao Xueqin, a well-known scholar, tried his best to write A Dream of Red Mansions. In fact, the book does contain fantasy, but these people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty are more like the protagonists in A Dream of Red Mansions, full of mystery. In fact, this shows Yang Jiajiang. Later, Cao Cao held the emperor to make the princes, and the camp spread all over the world, ruling the Han Dynasty for the next twenty years.
