During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family in Guangzhou ties lanterns to trees with bamboo sticks. After the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year, the house of Lu Yanhong, a lantern-making craftsman, gradually becomes lively. Until 8 p.m. on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, people knock on her door to buy lanterns.

中秋节，在广州各家用竹条扎灯笼挂在树上，每年农历七月十五刚过，手扎灯笼匠人陆燕红的家就逐渐热闹起来，直到八月十五晚上八点多，都还有人来敲门买灯笼。

Aunt Hong has been engaged in making Cantonese lanterns for more than 20 years, just because she always recalls her master's commission: "We should pass on the craftsmanship of making lanterns and let more young people know about this Chinese traditional handicraft."

红姨扎了二十余年的广式灯笼，只因始终惦记着师傅的一句嘱托：“要将扎作传承下去，让年轻人知道这门传统技艺。”
