中国灯笼又统称为灯彩，是一种古老的汉族传统工艺品。经过数千年的发
展，灯笼呈现出了不同的地域风格，每一种灯笼都具有独特的艺术表现形式。每
年的农历正月十五元宵节前后，人们都挂起象征团圆意义的红灯笼，来营造一种
喜庆的氛围。
灯笼综合了绘画、剪纸、纸扎、刺缝等工艺，与中国人的生活活息息相连。灯笼
成了中国人喜庆的象征。经过历代灯彩艺人的继承和发展，灯笼形成了丰富多彩
的品种和高超的工艺水平，主要有宫灯、纱灯、走马灯三种形式。
·宫灯
它在古代主要用于宫殿中。在制作宫灯时，使用了细木材。宫灯上覆盖着丝
绸或玻璃，在封面上画出不同种类的图片。这些灯笼不仅被用作灯，而且还被用
作宫殿里的装饰品。
·纱灯
纱灯采用的是不太昂贵的竹子和纱布，制作时通常使用红纱布。在中国文化
中，红灯笼是幸福的象征。因此，在元宵节、春节和国庆节等重要节日，公园或主
要街道上总是挂着红灯笼。在国外一些著名的唐人街，你也可以全年都看到红灯
笼。它们已成为全世界中国文化的象征。

·走马灯
它通常是用来娱乐的。它的形状很像宫灯：有两层，并在内层上绘制了图片。
当蜡烛被点燃时，高温导致灯笼内的一个纸轮转动，所以移动的图片出现在封
面上。
诵读The Silk Road￥2
The Silk Road went from China to Eastern Europe.It went along the north of
China,India,and Persia and ended up in Easter Europe near today's Turkey and the
Mediterranean Sea.
It was called the Silk Road because one of the major products traded was silk cloth
from China.Chinese silk was soft and of high quality.So people throughout Asia and
Europe loved it very much.The Chinese sold silk for thousands of years.Even the
Romans called China the“land of silk”.
Besides silk,the Chinese also sold tea,salt,sugar,porcelain,and spices.Most
of the goods were expensive.This was because it was a long trip and traders didn't have
a lot of room for goods.They bought goods like cotton,ivory,wool,gold,and silver.
Traders traveled in large caravans.They would have many guards with them.
Traveling in a big group like a caravan helped in protecting themselves.Most of the
road was through dry land.So camels were popular animals for transport.
Although there was some trade between China and the rest of the world for some
time,the silk trade developed quickly during the Han Dynasty which ruled from 206
BC to 220 AD.Later,under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty,trade from China along the
Silk Road was fully developed.During this time the Mongols controlled most of the
trade road,and Chinese traders could travel safely.Also,traders had a higher social
position during the Mongol rule.
The Silk Road was important.It not only helped to develop trade between different
countries,but also helped for ideas,culture and inventions to spread across the world.
