CCTV News: Lanterns are also known as "lanterns" and "lanterns". Lanterns have various shapes and shapes. A lantern entrusts the people's eternal pursuit of light and hope.

In the Lantern Training Institute of Anzhen Cultural Service Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, these colorful lanterns with unique shapes and quite imaginative shapes have a nice name - "Geely Lantern". It has been passed down for more than 100 years and has been in four generations.

Ma Haijie, a representative inheritor of the lantern scallion making skills in Chaoyang District, Beijing, introduced that his great-grandfather went to work for others, and on the way back, he had a plant called "geely" on his shoes. My great-grandfather thought this looked like a small lantern, so he invented the lantern according to the plants.

More than 100 years ago, in order to complete the "bionic" design of the lantern, this Beijing craftsman used origami technology, and then after exquisite calculations, he combined the pyramid and pentagons to form the shape of the lantern, which symbolized good wishes.

Ma Haijie introduced that there are 20 corners (triple pyramids), and the pentagon is 10 pentagons. From any angle, it is a three-dimensional five-pointed star, and this shape also has a nickname called "Great Stars Shining".

In Quanzhou Arts and Crafts Cooperative in Fujian Province, these lanterns that incorporate intangible cultural heritage engraving art are called "paper engraving lanterns". One lantern has two intangible cultural heritages, and paper carving lanterns are one of the most representative craftsmen of Quanzhou lanterns. The lanterns have no skeleton all over, and they rely on the mutual support of the engraving to decompose pressure. Such ingenuity makes the painting and hollow shapes on the lanterns more vivid.
