On the fifteenth night of the first month, the sky was clear in Wan Li, and the stars and the moon met in six streets and three cities. What do you mean by putting lanterns?

On the fifteenth night of the first month, Wan Li was clear and breezy. The stars and the moon shine together, especially bright, and lanterns begin to be placed in the street.

Lantern art gradually broke away from the traditional practice of lanterns and created works of art with unique local flavor. It is very difficult to create, the technology involved is more complicated, and the materials used are wider and more vivid.

The creation of modern lanterns must integrate professional disciplines such as structure, mechanics, electricity, aesthetics, materials science and creativity, which is the most difficult of all artistic creations. However, because the Lantern Festival attracts millions of tourists every year, it is one of the most attractive sightseeing activities in Taiwan Province Province and one of the most representative artistic projects in Taiwan Province Province.

Lanterns are very popular when the Lantern Festival comes. If you have leisure time, it is also a good idea to make your own lanterns. You can't make the "big guy" sold on the street, and you can't find materials such as steel wire and steel plate. Then make a simple paper lantern with bamboo strips, rice paper and pen and ink. Handmade paper lanterns are simple in materials and techniques, which can not only design their favorite patterns, but also add a lot of fun to festivals.

The first step is to make the skeleton. The simple shape of a paper lantern is a cube or cylinder. It is best to make a frame with flexible bamboo branches or bamboo skins, and the joints are tied tightly with thin lines. If it is difficult to find, you can also use slender cardboard and bamboo sticks for barbecue. The firmness and elasticity will be lacking, but it is also a good decoration indoors.
