During the Western Han Dynasty and throughout the Han Dynasty, the bronze palace lanterns were very popular in the palace, and the animal design was diverse and vivid. This cow-shaped cylinder lamp has a light green color, a cowlike image, a drooping ear, a short leg and a vivid shape. The two corners are erected in a circular shape from both sides of the back, and the folds are combined into one, and are expanded downward to form a bowl shape as a "smoke pipe". There is a round hole in the center of the back. A round lamp panel is placed on the hole. There is a cone in the disc. The edge of the disc is slotted to put a "windshield" to prevent it from being blown out by the wind. When lighting, the smoke passes through the "pipe" and reaches the abdomen, thus keeping the room clean. On the right side of the abdomen, there is also a cross inscription on the "Ten Temple Niu Deng Si Li Le Chang", indicating that this lamp is the lamp supervised by the chief of the rites and music for the Changsha Wangzong Temple. The biggest feature of this lamp is that it has only three feet and the back leg has a groove, which is like a cockroach. Its tail is close to the abdomen, the eyes are round, and the protruding horns are like the characteristics of a cow. It is awkward, elegant and elegant, with both realistic and abstract artistic styles.
Luminaires are an important invention after humans mastered the fire. The history of the use of lamps in China is very long. As a traditional means of living, oil lamps have experienced a history of thousands of years of evolution. Initially, the light was converted from the beans in the food container (the bean is a kind of food eater in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the pottery is the earliest luminaire currently seen). Until the Han Dynasty, the basic shape of the lamp was still not much different from that of the beans, becoming the most common type of lamp. In addition to the bean-shaped lamps, there are some animal-shaped lamps like the cow-shaped cylinder lamps in the Han Dynasty, which are widely used in the palace palace. The platters are layered and placed in a staggered manner, and the shape is vivid. After the igniting, the lights illuminate each other and show their style.
