Dongyang Luzhai Lantern.

There is the Forbidden City in the north and Luzhai in the south. Dongyang Luzhai is a national key cultural relics protection unit, and the Suyongtang Hall Lantern is currently the largest hall lantern preserved in the world and has been listed in the Guinness World Records. Due to the easy wear and tear of the lanterns hanging outside, the production skills of the horn lanterns have been lost. The hall lanterns are usually stored in specially made lamp rooms and are basically hung every four years. The "treasure cover, suolo, three clusters, seven-color tassel, horn lantern" is 4.05 meters high, 2.10 meters in diameter, and weighs 127.5 kilograms. It is made of 400,000 glass colored beads. It is exactly the same as the "three clusters and five glass colored tassel lanterns" in Rongguo Mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and it is even better. The bead lamp is an ancient traditional Chinese lamp, known for its exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural connotations. The bead lamp is also called bead lamp, a set of five lamps, one large and four small, which are hung in the hall during festivals. The main lamp of the handed down bead lamp is divided into three layers, and the palace lamp, glass lamp, and bead belt are hung down one by one. The innermost main lamp is composed of three palace lamps. The upper part is a "six-sided sheepskin palace lamp", the middle is an "octagonal palace lamp", and the bottom is a bead lamp carefully strung with various bead ornaments. The outer layer is surrounded by glass lamps, and the bead lamps are also carefully strung with small beads into various ancient auspicious birds, such as phoenix, white crane, golden rooster, etc., symbolizing good luck, health and longevity. Therefore, the bead lamp is not only a lighting tool, but also carries profound cultural and symbolic meanings. For example, in some areas, bead lamps are used as symbols of praying for many children, good luck and prosperity.
