【大美廣東】Enjoying the Beauty of Cantonese Lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
中秋，遇見廣式燈籠
- During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family in Guangzhou ties lanterns to trees with bamboo sticks. After the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year, the house of Lu Yanhong, a lantern-making craftsman, gradually becomes lively. Until 8 p.m. on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, people knock on her door to buy lanterns. Aunt Hong has been engaged in making Cantonese lanterns for more than 20 years, just because she always recalls her master's commission: "We should pass on the craftsmanship of making lanterns and let more young people know about this Chinese traditional handicraft."
中秋節，在廣州各家用竹條扎燈籠掛在樹上，每年農歷七月十五剛過，手扎燈籠匠人陸燕紅的家就逐漸熱鬧起來，直到八月十五晚上八點多，都還有人來敲門買燈籠。紅姨扎了二十余年的廣式燈籠，只因始終惦記著師傅的一句囑托：“要將扎作傳承下去，讓年輕人知道這門傳統技藝。”
