中国人的节日少不了灯笼,这是很寻常的事儿。每当节日来临,无论街头巷尾、门庭楼榭,处处可见高挂在半空里的大红灯笼。圆圆的、红红的,照亮夜幕,染红墙影廊柱。既使是白昼,亦如火一样的热情无比、祥和温馨。灯笼的寻常存在,不免让人有点儿熟视无睹。可它们的模样确乎蕴含着和表达着什么:是团圆的喜庆,还是显贵的炫耀?是驱妖避邪的关照,或是红运当头的吉兆? It is unusual for Chinese people to have a lantern festival. Whenever the festivals come, no matter the streets and lanes, pavilions, everywhere in the sky hanging in the red lanterns. Round, red, bright night, red wall gallery pillars. Even in daylight, the same passion as the warm, peaceful and warm. The ordinary existence of lanterns, can not help but make people a little blind. But their appearance does contain and express what is: a reunion of festivals, or expensive show off? Is the drive to protect evil evil care, or lucky omen?
