the red lantern
red lanterns can only be non - lethally parted from their rings by a blue lantern ring, whose aura will cleanse the red taint in the red lantern' s blood while removing the red ring. another similar method is to use the love between the red lantern and their partner to form a tether which will restart the red lantern' s heart, though this method still requires a blue lantern aura to expunge the taint .

in use, lantern wick conducts heat into the oil, this in turn creates expansion, and will cause oil to overflow into the air chamber under the burner if the lantern has been overfilled. once this happens, the oil will leak out of the joints where the air tubes go into the air chamber above the tank. to prevent this, only fill the lantern to just under the fuel spout threads. use a small white plastic kitchen funnel to more easily see the fuel level when filling. as a precaution, place the lantern in a shallow pan when re - fueling. if overfilling occurs, empty some of the fuel .
a red lantern might also be hung outside the tower to indicate the train needs to stop for form 31 orders. orders are instructions from the dispatcher, delivered through the operator, to the engineer and conductor of a train which either gives them the authority to operate, as in the case of an extra train, or modifies the schedule which exists in the timetable. unlike form 19 orders, form 31 orders require the train to stop and the engineer and conductor must each sign for the order .

determining the value of a lantern can be quite difficult because it is so subjective. there are many factors that go into forming the value of a lantern. age and condition are obvious. the older something is, and the better condition it is in, the more it is usually worth. with railroad lanterns, the road name on the lantern also matters. for example, the new york central railroad is a very common road name and the market has many of those types of lanterns, so they command a lower price than others. a santa fe lantern will usually be valued higher than a new york central. a virginian lantern seems to command higher prices. if the railroad is more obscure, or if items marked by that railroad are rarer, the pieces are valued more. globe colors also factor into the value. clear or red globes are more common. blue and other colored globes are more rare. lantern prices can range from around $ 25 into the thousands of dollars .

the first three mistresses live in uneasy balance when songlian arrives, and she becomes a catalyst for trouble. she learns that when the master selects the mistress he will favor for the night, a red lantern is placed outside her house.

pictured is a dietz little wizard kerosene lantern that has been in my family for years. youíll often see people advertise this style of lantern as a railroad lantern. it is not railroad related. most people refer to these as barn lanterns. the design is what' s known as a tubular lantern. every now and then you will see a barn style lantern that is marked for a particular railroad, which means that at least that particular specimen was used on the railroad. but without a railroad marking, it canít be considered as an official railroad lantern. these lanterns were general utility lanterns, used by people at home and by businesses such as construction companies and such. they were also used not only for light, but also as a signal or marker when the globe was exchanged for one that had a specific color. for example, you will sometimes find a utility lantern with a red, amber, or blue globe .

and of course, the market plays a big role, from who wants the lantern, to how bad they want the lantern, to where the lantern is being sold. if you find a lantern at a yard sale or flea market, you might buy it for a good price. sometimes an auction can also net you a good deal. i buy the majority of my lanterns off of ebay. itís a hit or miss out there as to whether i get a good deal. sometimes i do, and sometime someone else is willing to pay a lot more. who wants a lantern can have an impact of what a lantern sells for. a person that deals and collects lanterns on a larger scale will not pay that much for a more common lantern. a novice or someone that has a casual interest might be willing to pay more. while itís not an exact science given how each lantern is different, looking at the completed listings price on ebay can sometimes at least give you a ballpark range of what a particular lantern might be worth .

: the conductor lantern, sometimes called a presentation lantern, is a more ornate version of a tall globe lantern. they have curvy lines and are generally nickel plated or brass plated. the globes can sometimes be decorated with etched leaves and fancy letters, or have two colors. the conductor was the face seen by the paying passengers so he needed a lantern to show his status and to demonstrate the elegance of railroad travel. values on the common models can range from about $ 200 to around $ 450. more rare models and globes can be from $ 1200 to $ 2000 .

the film depicts the struggle and competivity between the four concubines simply to receive an limited amount of attention from the master, all the while being enslaved within the symmetrically designed compound of their environment. upon entering the compound songlian quickly learns of these rules in that whoever the master presently favors, they will be graced with lavish foot massages, and gloriously red lanterns which are lit in front of their home. the passionate competition among the three other concubines for the master' s rewards soon entangles songlian in a fierce battle for the winning of the red lanterns. this game simply starts out as a simple competitive strife but soon manifests itself into much more dangerous and devious themes such as deception, backstabbing, exploitation and even death, all within the confines of the chen household .
all of that is addressed on this webpage. just look above for something similar to your style of lantern. i have more detailed information on the individual lantern pages. just click and read, but ask if you have more questions .

are so constructed that the supply of air taken through the side tubes does not mingle with the products of combustion and the flame is supplied with fresh air both through the globe plate and the side tubes. the spent products of combustion escape to the outer air through a central metal chimney in the lantern head. from an air chamber surrounding the metal chimney, which is provided with injectors for taking in fresh air, fresh air is taken into the side tubes, down which it flows to the lower air chamber and thus to the burner. the

however, when construction of the george washington bridge was completed in 1931, the brilliant lights of the bridge’s 600 - foot towers overwhelmed the little lighthouse. in 1947, it was officially decommissioned and abandoned, and by 1951, the little red lighthouse was slated for demolition – its cast - iron shell to be sold for scrap .

was originally banned in china for a period of time. this is a gorgeously lush and beautiful film, as the master’s compound being the neutral backdrop is sometimes seen covered with rain or snow, as the interiors of the four apartments are drowned in rich bold colors, passionately and predominant in bright red, particularly the lofty red lanterns which is a symbol of passion and power. much of the action takes place on the rooftops, which links to a mysterious labyrinth of stairs and passageways including an ominous locked shed, where it is said concubines in the past who have been convicted of infidelity have been sent to their death .

check visually for leakage: if there is a noticeable crack or hole in the tank or around the fittings, don’t buy the lantern. if it is an obvious antique, it may be worth the money to buy another tank. but if you’re looking for a working lantern, buying a replacement tank may not make sense .
various railroad workers, such as engineers and brakemen, used the lantern to signal instructions to others (such as the locomotive engineer). a rail yard is a busy place. hooking up and rearranging railroad cars took a lot of coordination and proper communication. the lighted kerosene lantern was just the right tool for use at night .
* a note on the dietz railroad lantern. the one above is a vesta model. while it looks similar to the tubular barn lantern styles, it is a bit different. notice that it has a wire guard to protect the globe. it also has a wire guard around the fuel fount to serve as the base. normal tubular barn lanterns actually use the fuel fount as their base (see the dietz little wizard model below) .

for my two cents, raise the red lantern is zhang yimou' s best film, with the also excellent to live running a very close second. gong li, playing the newly recruited fourth wife of a wealthy 1920s nobleman, is simply stunning, both in appearance and as a then up - and - coming actress. he saifei also shines in her performance as the third wife and it is her heartbreaking story that really makes this film the masterpiece that it is .
