Second, translation.

Umbrella lantern is the most beautiful lantern festival in Shanghai. Lamps are made into umbrellas, some round and some hexagonal, all decorated with exquisite colored paper. Colored paper is polished as thin as cicada's wings, with figures, flowers and birds painted on it. The strokes of these paintings are as thin as cocoon silk.

It takes a year to make a lamp, even if it costs 100 yuan, but the umbrella lamp is exhibited at the latest, and it is often necessary to wait until all the other lanterns are used up, and the umbrella lamp begins to be grandly exhibited around the 1200 national holiday in February of the lunar calendar. Sometimes it reaches 200-300 lanterns. Sometimes colorful land and silk fabrics from Wudi are used to draw flowers on lanterns. Occasionally, birds, fish, cicadas and butterflies are decorated with patterns, flying and lifelike.

Or tie it in the shape of a pavilion with colored paper, about three or four feet high. It's called a pavilion. Sometimes decorated with dragons and phoenixes, mica is used as its shell. It is bright from top to bottom, a few feet light: some have two layers, some have three layers. Children are allowed to wear beautiful embroidered clothes to play zaju on each floor, and often play "Palace of Eternal Life, Yuhuan Yue Bai". There is a wisp of cigarette floating in the animal-shaped incense burner.

The confusion of clouds and smoke, the moon palace, the left side of Chang 'e Palace. The left and right handmaids each hold a round fan, and there are two constellations on their shoulders, which look like they are in the sky. When each kind of lamp passes by, it stretches for miles, making night like day. The sound of gongs and drums lasted all night. But after the transaction, there was no such incident.

Zhang Qiupu, a fellow villager, wrote in Song of the Years: On a moonlit night, the flute is playing green, and beads are often hung in the small building. Wu Ling talks about manuscript paper when he loses, and is good at counting umbrella lights in Jiangxiang. It probably means that talking paper is more precious than silk in the production of umbrella lamps. Talking paper is produced locally in Shanghai. Yucang's family said: these records are trivial, but if you insert an exclamation, you will have a lot of feelings.
