Zhongxin Lantern is a folk lantern art with red as the main color, mainly distributed in Zhongxin Town in the southeast of Lianping County, Guangdong Province. Historically, the locals "liked to gather lanterns and perform various dragon and lion dances during the Lantern Festival" (Lianping Prefecture Chronicles in the eighth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty). In addition, the local folk still retains the printing plates of lantern patterns from the Qing Dynasty. The existing Zhongxin lanterns have unique shapes, including silk lanterns, ginseng lanterns, champion lanterns, scholar lanterns, five-blessing lanterns, grinding lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, Baolian lanterns, Bogong lanterns, purple lanterns, corridor lanterns, etc. Unlike the small and exquisite lanterns in other places, Zhongxin lanterns are large but very delicate. The largest diameter is 12 meters and the smallest is 40 centimeters. Its basic structure is mostly columnar, mostly with bamboo woven frames, and there are four corners, six corners, eight corners, twelve corners, etc. From top to bottom, it can be divided into lamp cover, lamp body, and lamp skirt, and there are generally 2 to 4 layers from inside to outside. The outer layer of the lantern is decorated with paper-cuts, patterns, paper tassels, etc., and the skirt is composed of various colorful light strips with flower patterns. Various images of pictures are installed inside the lantern to rotate and flow, making the entire lantern colorful and with distinct local characteristics. Due to historical reasons, the production of Zhongxin lanterns was once interrupted. Although it has been restored recently, there are fewer and fewer technicians who can make fine lanterns, and the production has tended to be simplified. The types of lanterns are gradually decreasing, and they are in urgent need of support and protection.
