The simplest paper lantern method, how to make paper lanterns is the easiest

There are many kinds of handmade lanterns, of course, here we will not talk about those paper-cut art things, from my personal experience to talk about the simple square lantern practice, I was born in rural Shandong, remember when I was a child, we celebrated the Lantern Festival every year, that night there will be a habit of eating Lantern Festival, carrying lanterns. 8 The economy in the 90s was not very good, so every time I made lanterns with my father, I will briefly talk about our rectangular lantern practice:

1. Looking for materials, in rural areas, materials are simple and easy to find. The family is a carpenter, so we choose wooden strips as lampposts, find 4 small wooden strips, and then recruit 2 thinner pieces of wood to make the upper and lower bottoms, and then the wire, nails, hammers and other tools.

2. About production: First of all, we take care of the 4 wooden strips, and then connect them with small wooden strips as 4 sides of the 4 pillars, and jack them up with nails, so that it becomes a cube; Then the thin pieces of wood were nailed up and down to the cuboid with small nails, so that the whole rectangular lantern frame came out quickly. Make a hook with wire on the wood chip above the lantern and attach it to it, so that it is easy to jump with a long stick.

Finally, on the 4 sides with that kind of yellow sheet paper, of course, leave a small door, which is for the square candle to enter. Such a simple rectangular lantern is done.

3. Finally, light the candle and put it at the bottom of the lantern, paste the door, the paper at that time is slightly transparent, and it is also very bright to jump with a stick, of course, you must be careful that the candle is not too big, otherwise it is easy to burn the lantern.

Lanterns are closely connected to Chinese life, and there are lanterns everywhere in temples and living rooms. Carefully calculated, there were lamps in China after the Qin and Han dynasties, and paper lanterns were after the invention of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chinese lanterns are not only used for lighting, they are often also a symbol, Wu Dunhou said, he used to make bridal lanterns (i.e., palace lanterns) to represent the wedding celebration; Bamboo lanterns indicate that this is a funeral occasion; Umbrella lamp (surname lamp), because the pronunciation of lamp and ding is the same, means that people are prosperous. Therefore, in the past, every house had a lamp with the surname of the character, which hung under the eaves and in the living room.
