How much do you know about lanterns?
Lanterns, also known as lanterns, are an ancient traditional Chinese handicraft and one of the important symbols of traditional Chinese culture. In ancient times, the main function was lighting, with paper or silk as the outer skin of the lantern, and the skeleton was usually made of bamboo or wooden strips, with candles or light bulbs placed in the middle to become lighting tools.
From ancient torches to modern lighting equipment, lanterns, as one of the important parts of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, have experienced a long process of development and continuous cultural accumulation, and are mostly used for hanging on important traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, adding luster to the festival and praying for peace.
The experience of making this activity is "cellophane goldfish lantern", which is one of the traditional folk skills in Guangdong. In Cantonese, "fish" and "yu" have the same sound, with the auspicious meaning of "more than every year", and it is one of the items that Cantonese people love for ten minutes during the Chinese New Year.
