Lantern is an ancient traditional handicraft of Han nationality and a symbol of celebration. In the past, lanterns were hung at the door of the house on holidays, so how to hang lanterns?
1. Installing lanterns
First, unpack the lanterns, take them out and round the lantern body, then insert the hooks in the lantern body according to the holes. If the lanterns are elastic lanterns, just pull them directly.
2. Installing the base
When the lantern body is round, install the upper and lower bases: first, install the lower base, that is, the one with yellow silk ears, align the groove of the lower base with the clamping groove on the lantern, and then rotate it hard, paying attention to the handwriting on the lower base. The upper base is also rotated and installed after aligning with the card slot, and the font should be straight.
3. Hanging lanterns
(1) If the lanterns themselves have wires and light bulbs, just hang them up and put them in. If not, you need to take off the lampshade first, connect the wire and the light bulb, and put it into the lantern after the connection.
(2) Before hanging lanterns, it is necessary to determine the hanging position of lanterns. You can nail the eaves, or stick foam boards on the lime wall, and then tie the lanterns with ropes and hang them.
Second, what's the point of hanging lanterns?
Lanterns are a symbol of happiness, but they are not casually hung, and there are still some points of attention. The main points of attention in hanging lanterns are:
1. Pay attention to orientation
Hanging lanterns should be symmetrical, with moderate height and distance, and the hanging position should be hung in the south, not in the north, because it is unlucky for Feng Shui to pay attention to water in the north. Moreover, most houses face south, and lanterns are hung on the back, which is too cloudy, and lanterns on the south have the effect of supplementing yang.
2. Pay attention to quantity
The number of lanterns hung is also particular. No matter where they are hung, they should be in pairs. As the saying goes, yes man has both longevity and longevity, and it is unlucky to hang only one lantern.
3. Touching lanterns
This is a tradition in the past. Lanterns should be destroyed after festivals. In the past, paper lanterns were lit inside, and two lanterns would be burned if they collided directly, which is called touching lanterns. Now lanterns use electricity, so you don't need to touch them. Just put them away and throw them away.
