@heritage.keepers: The pearl lantern is renowned for its intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance. It has three layers: the innermost features palace lanterns—a hexagonal sheepskin lantern, an octagonal lantern, and a pearl lamp with detailed pearl ornaments. The outer layer holds glazed lanterns and delicate pearl designs of auspicious birds like the phoenix, crane, and golden rooster, symbolizing luck, health, and longevity. This grand 4.05-meter-tall lantern, displayed in Dongyang's Suyong Hall at the Luzhai Residence, was added to China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2014. #Art #culture #beads #lantern #china #tradition #heritage
