Accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, children carry small lanterns while adults shoulder larger traditional lanterns - the "lantern parade" begins.It is lantern handicrafters' persistence that keeps the traditions alive.For Zou, the Spring Festival is the busiest time of the year, leaving him with only three or four hours of sleep after making lanterns all day. In Wenchang, people usually "send lights" to celebrate and express their wishes and expectations, a tradition dating back more than 100 years.When evening falls, the lanterns are lit. ![]() 14 (Xinhua) - Holding a small steel file in one calloused hand and a hammer in the other, Zou Hongda finished a thick pile of paper-cutting artwork after a few knocks with his trusty tool.Zou, 73, has been making festive lanterns for over 40 years in Baiyan Village of Wenchang City, south China's Hainan Province.The typical structure of the traditional handicraft includes lanterns with auspicious Chinese characters such as "Fu" and "Xi," which mean fortune and happiness.The Lantern Festival, which falls on Tuesday this year, is the climactic end to the Chinese New Year holiday.
