Beyond its hardcore technology, this lamp also carries a soft and auspicious meaning. The wild goose was seen by the ancients as a bird that delivers longing and blessings. The word for "fish" in Chinese sounds like the word for "abundance," symbolizing a life of plenty. A wild goose holding a fish in its beak is not only a beautiful image but also carries all the hopes of Han dynasty people for a better life. The combination of fish and goose has become a warm and enduring part of the aesthetic foundation of Chinese culture.

如今,山西博物院以这盏灯为蓝本,推出了一款DIY纸艺灯。通过切割、压褶、插接等步骤,你就能亲手组装出一盏属于自己的“雁鱼铜灯”。每件作品中嵌入了LED蜡烛灯,打开灯光,立体感十足,既动手又动脑,智趣满满。

Today, the Shanxi Museum has launched a DIY paper craft lamp inspired by this bronze original. Through steps like cutting, creasing, and assembling, you can build your very own "Bronze Wild Goose-and-Fish Lamp." Each piece comes with an embedded LED candle. When you turn on the light, the three-dimensional effect is stunning. It's a fun and brainy activity that lets you use both your hands and your mind.

朗月星稀,古灯为伴。当LED的柔光亮起,2000年前的西汉巧思与现代人的指尖匠心,在这一刻悄然相遇。带它回家,就是带回一段“大汉国威”的微缩记忆。

Under a clear sky with a few scattered stars, an ancient lamp keeps you company. When the soft glow of the LED lights up, the ingenuity of the Western Han dynasty from 2,000 years ago and the craftsmanship of modern hands quietly meet across time. Take it home, and you bring back a miniature memory of the "majestic glory of the Han dynasty."
