The "Lantern Festival" is mainly spread in the city of Yixian County, Xidi and Chishan in Hongcun, among which Chishan Lantern Festival in Hongcun is the most representative. After the Spring Festival every year, we begin to prepare for the Lantern Festival. Ancestral shrines and major surnames are the core of activities in cities and villages; We should build some lamphouses and archways for the activities, and also make riddles and dragon lions to help the fun; On the 13th day of the first month, the lights are hung in front of the gate of each household; The 14th is the test lamp, and the 15th is the positive lamp. On the day when the lights are on, gongs and drums are blazing, firecrackers are constantly on, and people pour out with lanterns to watch and enjoy the lanterns; On the 16th, the lights will be stopped and the alarm will be over. On the middle door of the front hall of the Chengzhi Hall in Hongcun, there is a long woodcarving pattern of "Centenary of Lantern Festival", carved with 100 little boys. In the dance of dragon lanterns, lion lanterns, phoenix lanterns, fish lanterns and other colorful lanterns, they are in various forms and lifelike, showing the festive scene of Huizhou folk Lantern Festival. The custom of lighting lanterns began in the Han Dynasty and was derived from the folk custom of "worshipping the gods and sending the New Year"; Huizhou people celebrate the festival with joy, and lighting lamps with the meaning of happiness and peace has become a common custom of people in Yi County throughout the year. In November 2020, Yixian County Huihuangjing YiTourism Development Co., Ltd. began the restoration of the "Lantern Festival" and prepared to build the "Hongcun Lantern Team". Huang Jie, the deputy general manager of the company, served as the leader of the Hongcun Lantern Team. She led 10 post-80s and post-90s young people to work on "lantern production" and "noisy lantern exhibition". Exquisite lanterns are the soul of activities. The primary task of the lantern team is to learn to make lanterns. Lantern production includes cutting bamboo, shaping bamboo strips, pasting technology, line drawing positioning, painting and coloring. "The most difficult thing is the skeleton making technique. We have invited the top thin strip craftsman to explore it again and again, and tie it into lanterns with different shapes." Huang Jie said that the skeleton making is the coordination of the structure, the key point of pasting is the three-dimensional cutting and flatness, and the line drawing is the finishing touch. The color should be uniform and the color match should be appropriate. For more than a year, they have made lanterns from a single fish lantern to mouse lantern, phoenix lantern, unicorn lantern, rabbit lantern, ox lantern and other styles. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2021, at nightfall, the lantern team formally gathered at the Wang's Ancestral Hall in Hongcun. With the sound of a gong, the lantern team rushed from the ancestral hall to the moon marsh, led by the ox lantern, honest and diligent; Next is the fish lamp, each fish has different shapes and rich colors; The mouse lamp is in the middle of the fish lamp, with a long tail, very cute; The fish lantern became the leading role of the night with the largest number. The lantern parade made the village boil at once, and the stream of lanterns and the crowd watching the lanterns were intertwined; The moon is the hometown of the Ming Dynasty. The moon marsh enjoys the moon and dances lights. The lights and shadows of the moon present a scene of peace and prosperity. To make intangible cultural heritage "live"
