Appreciation of double fish lamp paper-cutting

Lantern is a traditional folk handicraft in Asia. In ancient times, its main function was lighting. When making lanterns, paper or silk is used as the outer skin, bamboo or wood is generally used as the skeleton, and candles are placed in the middle to light them as lighting tools. Lanterns are common in temples in Asia.

In modern society, lanterns have become a traditional handicraft for collection and appreciation. Lanterns are used to celebrate festivals, especially the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. It should be said that lanterns have become an indispensable landscape for various festivals. Therefore, the decorations on lanterns must also be related to auspiciousness.

In this paper-cut: first, the lamp body is two magnificent big fish, and the dorsal fin is two sailboats decorated with the word peace. In the middle of Pisces, there is the word "fish of the year (homophonic)", which are all transformed from four fish respectively. Second, the lamp base and tassel are composed of ingots and copper coins, which means that "the four seasons (four copper coins) are rich, and the ingots come at the end of the year". Third, the use of symmetrical wave patterns can increase the sense of movement. Lamp holder, lamp holder, fish head and fish tail are shown below.
