The green melon color emits a soft shimmer, reflecting the scenery on the melon lanterns. It looks like it is separated by a layer of green gauze, hazy and poetic. From a distance, it looks like a reunion of green reflections and broken jade, just like the cold moon at the door, which makes people think a lot.
The ancient poems and verses about watermelon lanterns include:
"Watermelon Lantern"
Zhang Fengnian in the Qing Dynasty
Who skillfully carved the watermelon into , Qingying does not see a bright light.
Guanghan doesn’t need to be held in a gold plate, but his heart is red and he still doubts the fire tree.
Hanging to the dew feast is like a Chinese Valentine's Day, shining with the same lotus and leaking for the third watch.
The canal wakes up Dongling Lao, and he feels as if he has returned to the field with a fresh smell.
"Ode to the Watermelon Lantern"
Qinglu Elements
It has the appearance of a melon skin, but the spring lantern is not as strong as it is.
Chaos is turned on for a moment, and everything is exquisite.
The pure heart becomes more spacious, and the pure intention becomes self-contained.
Forced to endure the coldness of ice and snow, forced to be roasted by fire and clouds.
Carve the phoenix to show your ingenuity, and carve the dragon to capture the chemical industry.
At first glance, Lishui sinks into silence, and when he turns, he leans against the wind.
The green cover is lightly hung, and the green cage is gently hung.
The hanging sash and couplet are green, and the cut candles are replaced by red flesh.
I was lucky enough to meet a man wearing a crown, but he was ashamed to accept a boy wearing a shoe.
I pity the quietness of autumn the most, but how can I bear the rush of night.
It is sad to say goodbye to love, and it shows the sincerity of being troubled.
Don’t teach me to see the postscript late and move the photo to the east of the building. 3. Poems about watermelon

The ancient method of making a watermelon tooth lantern. Making a watermelon lantern can generally be divided into five steps: 1. Conceive and design; 2. Select the watermelon; 3. Operate. Engraving; 4. Installing accessories; 5. Hanging and debugging.
(1) Conception and design. To make a watermelon lantern, you must first select the lamp type.
Watermelon lantern styles generally include: (2) Select the appropriate watermelon according to the selected lamp type. Generally speaking, the melon body is required to be round, and the color of the melon rind should be darker (this way the carved picture will have a large color difference and good effect).
In the case of string lights or group lights, the selected watermelons should be of the same shape and size. Watermelon should be as fresh as possible.
(3) Painting and sculpture. First, determine the artistic formation of the lamp body.
The art forms that can be used for carving melons generally include: 1. Calligraphy: Forms: couplets, poems, aphorisms, famous sentences, aphorisms, riddles, catchphrases, slang, etc.; Fonts: running script, cursive script, regular script, Regular script, official script, seal script, various artistic calligraphy (can be Chinese or foreign); 2.

Third, after determining the art type and painting title, draw a sketch on the manuscript paper according to the length and size of the waist of the watermelon (those with advanced painting skills can also directly use a brush dipped in white advertising powder to draw on the watermelon), and then paint the sketch on the watermelon. Paste it on the watermelon, use a ballpoint pen to draw the picture on the watermelon, and then use a brush dipped in white advertising powder to trace the picture clearly.
Or stick the thick ink drawing on the watermelon, wet it with water, cover it with rough paper, rub it with your fingernails several times, uncover the drawing, and the picture will be on the melon (note this method Exactly opposite to the picture). Finally, use a knife to carve out the picture.
The process is: 1. Select the carving knife. Melon carving tools can be made from aluminum sheets, iron sheets or scrap saw blades.
Generally include: According to the thickness of the lines and changes in color blocks on the picture, choose a suitable tool for engraving, or you can purchase a wood carving knife. 2. Clarify the method of picture expression.
Watermelon lantern images require simplicity, and are generally processed with lines, surfaces, and points. The expression of lines: absorb ancient woodcut single lines, meticulous white drawing, and use a knife to trace and engrave according to the lines, or yin or yang lines; the expression of blocks: deal with the contrast between black and white.
You can use light and dark light to process the black and white contrast; you can use the object's own color to process the black and white contrast; you can also use the author's own idea to process the black and white contrast; dot expression: use a small round knife, iron nails and other tools to pick dots and carve them. Create a gray tone to represent the shadow of the edge of the object. The above three expression methods can be used in combination, but attention should be paid to: the processing of the knife smell and the bright light effect to achieve the "light flavor".
3. Carve according to the basic procedures. (1) From the whole to the part, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside; (2) The knife should be used smoothly, with moderate depth, preferably slightly deeper; (3) Pay attention to the correct knife technique to express the picture.

First "open the top" of the carved watermelon and dig out the pulp (be careful not to dig out the picture or leave any red color), then rinse the empty melon with clean water and wipe it with a clean rag. Dry the skin and set aside. Melon lantern accessories can be made by yourself.
1. Lampshade: It can be made of horse manure paper, plywood, lead wire, organic glass, PV pipe or bamboo wire; red glossy paper, gold paper, etc. can be used externally; 2. Lamp holder: materials and lampshade The same, but with the addition of rows of whiskers; 3. Overhanging eaves: plywood, thick plastic plates or lead wire can be used as the framework. Add additional rows of whiskers and tassels.
Next, you can assemble: 1. Set the base holes of the watermelon that has been carved and the pulp removed. 2. Thread the lamp holder with thin lead wire, go straight up the hole at the bottom of the melon, pass through the upper edge of the melon lantern, and connect the lampshade.
It is advisable to use bright red and golden yellow in the color of accessories, which form a high degree of brightness and strong contrast with the green of the melon body, reflecting the national style. (5) Zhanghang mode.
After the watermelon lantern is carved and assembled, light a candle or electric lamp in the melon lantern, and then hang it, place it, or carry it, and adjust it to see the light transmission effect and the picture of the lamp body. Is it complete. The candle inside the melon belly can be made by using a small piece of wood, driving a large iron nail from the bottom up, and then inserting the candle into the tip of the nail.
If you use light bulbs, it is best to use yellow or light red energy-saving lamps in winter; use white energy-saving lamps in summer. Incandescent bulbs or candles that are too hot will affect the life of the melon lantern.

Xia Chansheng, the author of "Watermelon Lantern", read this article
Every September, our hometown Pinghu holds the Watermelon Lantern Festival.
During festivals, the roads are covered with watermelon lanterns of different shapes, even our neighborhood is full of them, which are beautiful and lively. Fireworks are set off during the Watermelon Lantern Festival. This is also the time when I am most excited.
The colorful fireworks are like meteor showers flying down from the sky. Some of them are like blooming chrysanthemums, and some are like beautiful parachutes. They are so beautiful. Did you know that our Pinghu is very famous for its watermelons? At this time, our Pinghu also holds a watermelon carving competition.
I remember that at last year’s Watermelon Lantern Festival, some of the contestants carved lively and jumping rabbits, some carved cute little dolls, and some carved mighty dragons... They are all carved with ease and lifelikeness, which makes people dazzled.
The watermelon lanterns at night are also very beautiful, especially in East Lake Square, where there are models of watermelons on the water. There are rectangular ones, round ones, two stacked ones, and some watermelons cut in half. Just looking at them makes people salivate.
As soon as the lights were turned on, those models lit up. Those watermelons really looked like the watermelons we usually eat. The water was calm on the lake, and the watermelon floated on the water. It floated up and down gently when the breeze blew, which was really beautiful.
I like the Watermelon Lantern Festival in my hometown. 7. Asking for a social survey report on the Pinghu Watermelon Lantern Festival
