Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers. The Lantern Festival of 2022 is at the door: The long-letter fire lights up the light and hope, and the Chinese athletes of the ice and snow event have repeatedly achieved good results. The land of China is illuminated and the future is gone.
Flower lantern viewing is one of the most important customs of the Lantern Festival, and this day is also known as the "Festival of Lights". The Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival are colorful, festive and peaceful, condensing the wisdom and emotions of generations of working people, and forming a thick cultural accumulation. Over the past thousands of years, the Lantern Lights have become more cordial, warm and fresh.
A lantern is lit, blending into the sincere and warm emotions of the Chinese nation, igniting the warmth and endless hope of the earthly world.
Edge, in the shadow of a thousand years of lights
Palace lamps are world-famous special handicrafts. Zhai Yuliang, the fourth generation of palace lanterns, has participated in the repair and production of Tiananmen lanterns many times, decorating the majestic city towers.
Palace lamps, as luxury ornaments hanging high in the court in the old days, show brilliance and dignity. Today, we can see the magnificence of a thousand years ago, and we can't do without the craftsmen passing on this skill from generation to generation.
Only by doing the subtlety can we achieve the vastness. The process of making palace lamps is complex, and all kinds of skills need to be practiced for a long time. Faced with the dilemma of inheritance, he said: "There are always some enthusiasts who will pass on this craft left by these old ancestors from generation to generation. ”
I don't know how many ingenious palace lamps are carved by this skilled craftsman. Zhai Yuliang firmly believed that as long as the lamp of hope in his heart did not go out, the palace lamp that shone from the front of the hall to the alley would surely illuminate the land of China.
Yuan, is the lamp that illuminates the homes
There is a kind of beauty called Chinese flower lanterns; there is a kind of inheritance, which is a bright lamp that never goes out in the night.
Flower lanterns, also known as "lanterns". The moon is high, the flower market is like day, and the lights set off the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.
"Traditional illuminations are more than 2,000 years old, and for Chinese, it forms a sense of ritual gathering." Yu Guangliang, the master who insists on the production of lanterns, plunges people's expectations for a better life into beautiful lanterns, and brings the red fire and heat that belongs to the Lantern Festival.
As a unique and dazzling national cultural symbol, Teacher Yu Guangliang also attaches great importance to the inheritance of lighting skills, not only teaching skills offline, but also holding lighting lectures in the cloud. The scope of teaching is close to community residents and as far as many overseas countries, just so that more people can feel the romance of lantern culture.
Ten thousand lights mobilize people's reunion and fate, and the lights of thousands of homes also have a better meaning because of people's reunion.
Edge, in the kingdom of patterns
The development and change of lantern patterns is closely related to the prosperity of the Lantern Festival. The colorful lantern pattern with rich meaning has become a visual symbol with both formal beauty and cultural implications, a very profound content in the traditional Chinese pattern art, and an extremely precious cultural heritage in the treasure house of world culture.
The tattoo must be intentional, and the meaning must be auspicious. Jia Xizeng, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, clarified the development context, characteristics and application scope of lantern patterns through the study of lantern patterns. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lantern pattern was organically combined with grain ears, bees, dragons and phoenixes and other elements, which were widely used in clothing and accessories, pinning good expectations such as wind and rain, auspicious peace, and world joy.
Adhering to this responsibility and love, Professor Jia Xizeng is still deeply studying and interpreting the connotation and symbolic meaning of lantern patterns, creatively using new technologies, new concepts and new expressions, and skillfully casting the Chinese aesthetic spirit into it, so that more people can feel the beauty of Chinese patterns.
Lanterns lead the way, and dreams become light. The Lantern Lantern, in every shining movement, shines with the light of wisdom, lights up the lamp of self-confidence in Chinese national culture, and illuminates the common fate of the sons and daughters of China.
