Lanterns: The Pair Hung on the Balcony During Lunar New Year

A pair of red lanterns hanging on a residential balcony or porch, lit up in the evening. The lanterns are traditional drum-shaped, with red fabric or paper surfaces, golden trim and tassels at the top and bottom, and simple black or gold characters written on them. The internal light bulb makes the entire lantern emit a warm, orange-red glow evenly, with the folds of the fabric and the frame clearly visible when lit. The lanterns sway gently with the breeze. The background shows common Taiwanese apartment exterior walls, iron grilles, and drying clothes, with the sky a deep blue after sunset. The red of the lanterns stands out particularly against the blue environment. Avoid: depicting the lanterns in a lavish Japanese or Chinese palace style, adding many colorful string lights, depicting the background as an ancient costume scene, having the lanterns unlit.

住家陽台或門廊掛著的一對紅燈籠,傍晚時分亮著。燈籠是傳統的圓鼓形,紅色的布或紙面,上下有金色的收口與流蘇,面上寫著簡單的黑字或金字。內部的燈泡讓整顆燈籠均勻地發出溫暖的橘紅光,布面的折線與骨架在發光時清楚透出。燈籠隨著微風輕輕晃動。背景是台灣常見的公寓外牆、鐵窗與晾著的衣物,天色是日落後的深藍。燈籠的紅在藍色的環境中特別突出。避免:把燈籠畫成日式或中國宮廷式的華麗造型、加入大量彩色燈串、把背景畫成古裝場景、讓燈籠不發光。
