The lantern flower had many meanings. The following are the main contents of the different aspects: - [Natural Phenomenon Level: The lantern flower is a flower-like object formed when the core of the lantern is burning.] During the burning process of an oil lamp or candle, the wick (usually made of cotton thread) would burn, forming a flower-shaped residue at the top. For larger candles or oil lamps, the wick was relatively thick. When burning, it would curl into the shape of a flower or burst out a flower-like object (called a flower), and the wick would gradually turn black and thin as it burned. - ** Cultural implication level **: The lantern flower is regarded as an auspicious sign by the common people. For example, it is reflected in some literary works. For example, Yu Xin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty mentioned,"I knew that the snow could reflect the paper, but I was surprised that the lantern flower could get money today." A History of Civilization. In the 39th chapter,"Yesterday, the lanterns in my room were blooming again and again. This morning, when I woke up, the magpies were all calling. I guessed that you were coming back." - ** Literature level **: - ** In terms of classical poetry, the image of lanterns appeared many times in Nalan Xingde's poems. For example,"Another Night of Skinny Lights" described his sleepless night, burning like a candle."The cold night was thin, and tears and lanterns fell" described his loneliness and longing after his wife's death. When he woke up at night without dreaming of his wife, his tears of despair fell like lanterns."A stalk of lantern flower is like a dream" reflected his nostalgia for his deceased wife and his recollection of the warm times in the past (memories related to his deceased wife). - ** Other literary works **: In ancient literary works, there were descriptions such as "The guest window was cut and the lanterns were played","The fragrance became beautiful but the spring was not closed", and "The lanterns were picked until the night was about to stop", which showed the life scenes and emotions related to the lanterns of the ancients. In addition, in ancient times, cutting lantern flowers also had special uses. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, beautiful women could use lantern coal to draw their eyebrows, which was to grind the lantern coal into fine powder to replace the eyebrows. In poems such as Zheng Gu's Song of the Poor Girl in the Tang Dynasty,"The dancing prostitutes in the east have many golden green flowers, smiling to cut the lantern flowers to learn to draw the eyebrows", Pan Fen's Song Dynasty's "Tired Looking for Fragrance." - [Material life level: In an era where materials were relatively scarce, the lighting was closely related to the lighting conditions at that time.] At that time, the lighting oil used included tung oil, sesame oil, diesel oil, kerosene, etc. Because of the shortage of household edible oil and the high price of diesel and kerosene, tung oil was often used as the first choice for lighting. However, tung oil had the defects of strong smell and smoke. The lamps used for lighting were made of cotton and other thread-like objects, as well as the stem and marrow of rushes. The brightness of the lamp was determined by the exposed volume of the lamp twist in the oil. The larger the exposed part, the brighter it was, but the more fuel it consumed. When the lamp twist burned, the top was easy to form black grease, which sometimes made a sound. It was necessary to cut off the grease with scissors regularly and pick out the lamp twist with a bamboo stick to prevent the light from going out. - ** Art level **: The Lantern Flower is a book by the Golden Version Culture Development Co., Ltd. of Shen Zhen City, and the Miao dance drama, The Snuff, is performed by the National Song and Dance Troupe.
