Modeling characteristics of Zhongxin lanterns
Zhongxin Lantern has a unique shape, and its structure is divided into lampshade, lamp body and lamp skirt from top to bottom. Generally, there are 2 to 4 layers from the inside out, with a large diameter of 12 m and a small one of 40 cm. Unlike small lanterns in other places, Zhongxin lanterns are large and exquisite, mostly cylindrical, with paper cuts, patterns and paper ears. The whole lighting is colorful, and it also combines painting, craft, paper-cutting, calligraphy and poetry. Most lanterns are made of bamboo, with four corners, six corners, eight corners and twelve corners. Compared with lanterns in other places, the lantern skirt of Zhongxin Lantern is the most special. Lantern skirt is composed of various colorful light bands, and various images and pictures rotate and flow in the lights, which is called a wonderful flower of Han folk crafts.
