Data Development:The origin of lanterns: Chinese lanterns, also known as lanterns, originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 1800 years ago, every year around the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, people hang red lanterns symbolizing the meaning of reunion to create a festive atmosphere.

Later, the lantern became a symbol of Chinese festivities. Through the inheritance and development of generations of lantern artists, a rich variety and superb craftsmanship have been formed. From the kind:

Palace lanterns, yarn lanterns, chandeliers and so on. In terms of modeling, there are characters, landscapes, flowers and birds, dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects, etc., in addition to the marquee lanterns for people to enjoy.

The first step is to make a skeleton. The relatively simple shape of a paper lantern is a cube or cylinder, and it is best to use bamboo branches or bamboo bark that can be bent to form a frame, and tie the joints with thin wires. If you can't find it, you can also use slender strips of cardboard and bamboo skewers for barbecue, which will lack firmness and flexibility, but they are also very good decoration for the interior.

The second step is to make the lamp body. Buy a few pieces of white or red ordinary rice paper or sprinkle gold rice paper at the Four Treasures of the Study, cut them to the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and then you can design your own patterns. Calligraphy, painting, and paper-cutting can all be displayed on a small lantern.

After pasting, you can also use narrow strips of imitation silk paper to edge up and down, which looks more elegant, much like an ancient palace lamp. If you are not very good at calligraphy and painting, there is a simple way to refer to it. Use a piece of tissue paper to trace the desired character on the notebook, then overlap the tissue paper with crimson rice paper, and use a single-edged blade to dig out the handwriting.

When the tissue paper is removed, hollowed-out handwriting appears on the red rice paper. The body of the lamp is made of white rice paper, and the red rice paper is pasted inside, and the candlelight or light is reflected from the hollow, and the effect is quite beautiful.

The third step is to make a light source. If you put it indoors, you only need to light a regular candle in a lantern; If you want to carry it out, it's best to make a simple circuit with a light bulb and a battery.

1. The previous sheet of paper is folded into a triangle, the latter sheet of paper is folded into a rectangle, and so on.

2. Fold the entire book.

3. After folding the book, cut a hole in the middle of the book, and the size of the hole is just enough to put the light source.

4. Glue the light source to the mirror.

5. Glue the mirror to the middle of the picked-out book.

6. Such a lantern made of books is completed.

Here's how to fold the lantern:

1. Prepare a pack of square origami, scissors, and a tassel. Start by taking out a piece of origami paper and cutting it into two parts of the same size with scissors.

<>3. Take out one of the folded pieces of origami, fold the crease parallel to the narrow side along the center of the two crosses, and then fold one side inward.

4. Fold the other side inward in the same way.

5. Fold the other side of the inner fold outward to form a triangle, and fold both sides in the same way.

6. Fold the part of the fifth step, and fold the small triangle inside along the outer edge along the traces of the fifth step. Fold the same small triangle on both sides.

7. On the basis of the sixth step, fold the small triangle inward again.

<>9. Take out the other half of the origami cut out in the second step, fold out two opposite triangles, put the folded origami in the eighth step in the middle, and insert the corner of the big triangle into the bottom of the small triangle folded out in the seventh step to fix.

10. Turn the origami over and fold it into a small square for retention.

11. Fold two more in the same way, and insert the three origami together to form a pyramid in the middle and a convex shape on the outside.

12. Fold out 21 shapes folded out in the tenth step again, and connect and fix them one by one. Finally, the tassel is attached, and if you want to hold it, you can roll a paper stick out of origami and use it to carry a lantern.

Overall, this three-dimensional lantern is more troublesome to make, but it is very exquisite. You can choose your own color matching according to your preference. If there are netizens who want to show off on the night of the Lantern Festival, they can use transparent materials when making this lantern, and choose colorful ones when choosing internal bulbs.

The tutorial on how to fold a lantern is as follows:

First prepare a square piece of paper, fold the paper in half, fold the left and right corners of the folded paper in half, fold the two corners in half, and then fold the four corners down, fold the four corners in turn in turn, deduct the triangle above, and the other three corners are also buckled in, there is a small hole at the top of the origami, blow air into it, and the lantern can be made.

Origami is an artistic activity in which paper is folded into various shapes. Origami is not limited to the use of paper. Origami enthusiasts around the world use a wide variety of materials such as: tin foil, napkins, acetate flakes, etc., while adhering to folding specifications.

Use of materials. "Origami" in a variety of colors: This type of paper is available in a variety of colors. Origami is not limited to single or two-color colors, and can be made with colored materials depending on the thing to be expressed.

"Origami" in double-sided color: The variety includes monochrome on both sides or a single color on one side and a monochrome on one side, which is convenient for making box-shaped objects. The double-sided and two-color colors used in many papers provide the raw materials for the creation of three-dimensional shapes.

"Origami" with metallic luster: Foil origami such as gold and silver has the disadvantage of being "easy to wrinkle and difficult to break", but it is highly malleable and can produce light reflection and refraction effects.

"Origami" with printed texture: Although flake-like materials can be folded, the choice of material will affect the folding effect and the final appearance of the model.

Fold marking. It is best to remember the basic folding method and origami marks before making origami, the following are the common marks in the folding and origami diagrams of general origami, that is, the Yoshizawa Zhang-Landreette system used in general origami diagrams:

Valley fold: The crease folds in a valley-like depression, which is represented by a short dotted line in the figure.

Mountain fold: The scratch protrudes outward in the shape of a mountain peak, and is represented by a long and short dotted line in the picture.

Medium fold: fold the crease according to the peak line; The thumb is inserted at the bottom and the index finger is placed on the upper part; Press down on the index finger so that it rejoins the crease and recess it; Coincidence with the crease and fold hard.

Operation steps: 1. Fold the paper in half, take a square and fold it in half. When taking a square""Hand handicap party" can be cut with the help of knives.

<>3. Fold the four corners down in turn.

<>6. Fold it slightly in half to the middle line, blow it into the hole, and it will be a lantern when it is puffed up.
