Hu Aixiang produces many watermelons, which look like natural green jade. The pulp in the cut watermelon is crystal clear, and it will cool immediately after a bite.
2, cold for ice and snow for honey, eliminate the temperature of ancient bamboo tea. -Qing Ji Xiaolan "Singing Watermelon"
This melon is cool and sweet, just like the melon seeds of Dongling Hou circulating here. Another cup of ancient bamboo tea (a famous tea produced in Zhejiang) is more suitable for digestion.
3, sweet smile tooth water, cool into the clothes and bones have wind. -Yuan Fangkui's watermelon trip
Watermelon can clear away heat and promote fluid production, quench thirst and relieve annoyance, giving people a cool feeling.
4. In those days, pomegranate came from Pu Tao instead of Dongling. —— Zhou Quan of Watermelon in Yuan Dynasty
At that time, it was said that Dongling did not grow xihua, but grapes, pomegranates and watermelons.
5, hate to cut the hump without hands, drunk chewing a hundred cold melons. -"Eat Watermelon" Fang Yikui in Song Dynasty
I hate that I don't have slender hands to cut that hump, and Jue broke a hundred barrels of watermelon.
6. Bi Manling frost lies on soft sand and has eaten watermelon everywhere for many years. -Song Fan Chengda's Watermelon Garden
Green vines lie on the soft beach, carrying the morning frost and dew, and come here to eat watermelon every year.
2. Watermelon Lantern is a popular traditional folk culture of Han nationality in pinghu city, Zhejiang Province, and it is an original local art. The specific content is: the art of "Watermelon Lantern" with various exquisite pictures carved on watermelons and candles or electric lights built in is the original creation of Pinghu people. Every summer when watermelons are on the market, farmers and people in Pinghu have to carve several watermelon lanterns and put them in the dark at night. The green color of watermelon gives a soft light, reflecting the scenery on the watermelon lantern. At close range, it looks like a layer of green gauze, poetic and picturesque. From a distance, it is a reunion, and the ice sculpture is broken, just like Leng Yue as the door, which makes people think.
The ancient poem of watermelon lantern is:
Watermelon lamp
Zhang Qing feng nian
Who skillfully cut the sweet potato into clear pieces?
You don't need a golden plate to be light and cold, but red hearts also doubt fire.
Hanging to the dewdrop feast is like Tanabata, and the lotus leaks into the night.
Wake up the old Dongling by the canal, as if the breath of returning to the field is clear.
Ode to Watermelon Lantern
Lu Qing element
Own melon skin, spring lantern is not full.
Open chaos for a while and look around.
The cleaner the heart, the clearer the mind.
Holding the ice and snow cold, being forced to bake by the fire cloud.
Carving a phoenix is ingenious, and carving a dragon captures the chemical industry.
At first glance, it is easy to sink and bend over.
Slightly lean to the lid and gently lift the blue cage.
The hanging tapestry is green, and the cut candle is red.
Fortunately, when you meet a champion, you are ashamed to accept a child.
It's a pity that autumn is quiet. Why not endure the rush at night?
Give up your love in sorrow, and worry shows your sincerity.
Don't teach me to read the postscript in the future, and move to the east of the building.
3. Poem about Watermelon 1, "Watermelon Garden" In the Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda Bi Manling frost lay in soft sand and ate watermelons everywhere all the year round.
Green vines lie on the soft beach with frost dew in the early morning and come here to eat watermelon every year. 2. "Eating Watermelon" In Song Dynasty, Fang Yi hated cutting humps without hands and chewing a hundred tubes of cold melons.
I hate that I don't have slender hands to cut that hump, and Jue broke a hundred barrels of watermelon. 3, "Watermelon" in the Yuan Dynasty, Zhou Quan was a descendant of non-Dongling, and Pu Tao pomegranate came and merged.
At that time, it was said that Dongling did not grow xihua, but grapes, pomegranates and watermelons. 4. "Singing Four Watermelon Lights" in Qing Dynasty: Yu Yue's sacred flame is green for thousands of years, and the immortal is very green.
The sun created green watermelons, and every watermelon is like a panacea. 5. "Four Watermelon Lamps" is clear: Yu Yue peeled all the skins and finished it at his own expense.
Cut the watermelon skin, and the delicious pulp is here.
4. The ancient method of making watermelon tooth lamp can be divided into five steps: 1. Conceptual design; 2. Choose watermelon; 3. Knife carving; 4. Install accessories; 5. Hang up and debug.
(1) conceptual design. To make watermelon lamps, we must first choose the lamp type.
The styles of watermelon lamps are generally as follows: (2) Choose the appropriate watermelon according to the selected lamp type. Generally, it is required that the melon body is round and the skin is dark in color (this way, the carved picture has large color difference and good effect).
In the case of string lights and group lights, the selected watermelons should be of the same shape and size. Watermelon should be as fresh as possible.
(3) Painting and sculpture. First of all, the art of lamp body was formed.
Generally available art forms for carving melons are: 1. Calligraphy: forms: couplets, poems, aphorisms, famous sentences, aphorisms, riddles, two-part allegorical sayings, slang, etc. Fonts: running script, cursive script, regular script, running script, official script, seal script, and various fine arts fonts (Chinese or foreign languages); 2. Stones: various seals, or zodiac signs, or characters; Or wire, money, or yin and yang; 3. Paper-cutting: it can be folk paper-cutting or craft paper-cutting; 4. Printing: traditional printing, modern printing and dyeing printing; 5. Chinese painting: meticulous Chinese painting and freehand Chinese painting; 6. Deformation and combination. Then, determine the theme of lamp painting.
The topic of light painting can be divided into: 1. Characters: ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, single or group, realistic or deformed, close-up or whole body; 2. Landscape: mountains, rivers, buildings and trees, but the four seasons are different; 3. Flowers and birds: Chinese and foreign flowers and birds can be combined; 4. Cordyceps sinensis: organically matched, set each other off into interest; 5. Fruits and vegetables: all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits of four seasons; 6. Myth: influential mythological choices are included in the painting; 7. Story: Legends of ancient and modern China and foreign countries; 8. Legend: Representative folk rumors. Three, determine the art and painting topics, according to the length and size of the watermelon waist, draw a sketch on the manuscript paper (high-level painting can also be directly painted on the watermelon with a brush dipped in white advertising powder), then stick the sketch on the watermelon, tick the picture on the watermelon with a ballpoint pen, and then dip the brush in white advertising powder to draw the picture clearly.
Or stick a thick ink painting on the watermelon, slightly moisten it with water, cover it with wool paper, rub it with the nail surface several times repeatedly, uncover the painting, and the picture will be on the watermelon (note that this method is the opposite of the picture). Finally, carve the picture with a knife.
The process is: 1. Choose a meat cleaver. Melon carving tools can be made of aluminum skin, iron sheet or waste saw blades.
Generally speaking, according to the line thickness and color block change of the picture, you can choose a suitable tool for carving, or you can buy a woodcut knife to use. 2. Make clear the picture expression method.
Watermelon lamp picture requires conciseness, and it is generally treated as lines, surfaces and dots. The expression of lines: absorbing ancient woodcut single lines, meticulous paintings, knife-cutting lines, or negative lines or positive lines; The performance of the block: according to the contrast between black and white.
Black and white contrast can be treated with shading; Black and white contrast can be handled by the color of the object itself; It can also be conceived by the author to deal with black-and-white contrast; Representation of points: Pick up points with tools such as small round knives and nails, and carve them into gray tones to represent the shadows on the edges of objects. The above three methods can be combined, but attention should be paid to the treatment of knife flavor and bright lighting effect in order to "light flavor"
3. Carve according to the basic procedure. (1) From whole to part, from top to bottom, from inside to outside; (2) Use the knife smoothly and moderately, preferably a little deeper; (3) Pay attention to using the correct knife method to express the picture.
The basic methods of transporting knives are chiseling (broadsword), carving (middle knife), carving (knife), grasping (flowing away), spinning (turning in circles), poking (frustration), in addition to punching, shaking, scraping, scratching and stabbing, which can be freely played. (4) Installation of accessories.
First "open the top" of the cut watermelon and dig out the pulp (be careful not to break the picture or leave red), then rinse the empty watermelon with clear water and dry the peel with a clean rag for later use. Melon lamp accessories can be made by yourself.
1. lampshade: it can be made of toilet paper, plywood, lead wire, plexiglass, PV tube or bamboo wire; External use of red glossy paper, gold paper, etc. ; 2. Lamp holder: the material is the same as the lampshade, except that a row of whiskers is added; 3. Outrigger: plywood, thick plastic board or lead wire can be used as the skeleton. Add rows of beards and ears.
Next you can assemble: 1. Cut the peeled watermelon and fix the base hole. 2. After wearing the lamp holder with thin lead wire, go up along the small hole at the bottom of the melon, pass through the upper edge of the melon lamp and connect the lampshade.
The colors of accessories should be red and gold, which form high brightness and strong contrast with the green of melon body and reflect the national style. (5) Suspension mode.
After the watermelon lamp is carved and assembled, light a candle or an electric lamp in the watermelon lamp, then hang, place or carry it, and debug it to see whether the light transmission effect of the lamp and the picture of the lamp body are complete. The candle in the melon belly can be made of a small piece of wood, nailed into a big nail from bottom to top, and then inserted into the nail tip.
If you use light bulbs, it is best to use yellow or reddish energy-saving lamps in winter; White energy-saving lamps are used in summer. Incandescent light bulbs or candles are too hot, which will affect the life of melon lamps.
Generally speaking, the melon lamp is a good melon lamp with vivid picture, moderate knife work and exquisite decoration. It is best to debug the melon lamp at night.
Usually, winter melon lanterns can be hung for one or two days in summer and four or five days in winter.

Every holiday, the roads are covered with watermelon lanterns of different shapes, and even our community is full, beautiful and lively. Watermelon Lantern Festival will set off fireworks. Whenever this time, it is also the most exciting time for me.
Colorful fireworks fell from the sky like a meteor shower. Some of them are like blooming chrysanthemums, and some are like beautiful parachutes. They are very beautiful. Do you know that the watermelon in Pinghu is very famous? Whenever this time, Pinghu will hold a watermelon carving competition.
I remember last year's Watermelon Lantern Festival, some contestants carved lively rabbits, some carved cute little dolls, and some carved mighty dragons. They are beautifully carved, lifelike and dazzling.
Watermelon lanterns are also beautiful at night, especially in East Lake Square, where there are models of water watermelons. There are rectangular ones, round ones, two stacked ones, and watermelons cut in half, which makes people salivate.
The models lit up as soon as the lights were turned on. Those watermelons are really like those we usually eat. The lake is calm and watermelons are floating on the water. When it is blown by the breeze, it floats up and down gently, which is really beautiful.
I like watermelon Lantern Festival in my hometown.
