Childhood kerosene lamp

This is not the same childhood, warm you, but also warm me......

Childhood with my father in the army to work in rural areas, located in Yimeng Mountain Area in a poor mountain village block. In my sixties initial memories, when night fell, Kang on the stove and a small oil kerosene lamp lights, the whole family around such as beans lights, side! A homely, busy dig up some peanuts, rub the housework, such as corn, live, the mother began in front of the kerosene lamp in sewing. I always can't wait to turn off the lights in the dreamland, sometimes wake up, the mother is still in front of the kerosene lamp busy, if you wake up and see the house is dark, scared crying loudly, until the LORD put the light of the kerosene lamp. In my young heart, small kerosene lamp lights is so amazing and wonderful now urban and rural night, everywhere is a light in the world, in the sea of light, showing a warm, rich, gorgeous beauty. Household bulbs is gem colorful, people can according to different preferences of kerosene lamps to choose and adjust the settings different light, brightness and color. All kinds of different lighting not only for the decoration and lighting, but also add a lot of warm and romantic atmosphere. Night, in bright as the day of the home, in the brilliant lights, Ambilight in markets, often evoke my memories of memories of childhood is a small oil kerosene lamp in kerosene lamp is coarse pottery, a lamp holder and a lamp bowl, kerosene lamp bowl put on a Wang soybean oil, immersed in a sliver wick, after will be ignited such as peanuts, lights, a long time to add oil, dial to soot and replaceable wick. Every year to meet the holidays or home to the guests, parents will point out the candles, candles like the torch, the light of the bright room. The first candle is the village with sheep oil as the main raw materials of, not too easy to ignite, and will often destroy and later from the city bought a called "wax" candle is better. Since the road to the village outside the rugged road widening, the villagers' lives have changed.

Remember on the primary school, the home of the two things that make me excited. One is the "Yang opera box" is broadcast home three times a day, can hear the county broadcasting station broadcast programs. The second is lighting does not use the oil, instead of kerosene, when called "kerosene", in the village of new store can buy, kerosene lamps and lanterns for filling the pot shaped ceramic, is provided with a kerosene lamp cap, wear core can be ignited, some like alcohol kerosene lamp heating is now used, than the soybean oil kerosene lamps bright many looked as if it had been a long time his father brought back a very foreign flavor of the kerosene kerosene lamp. kerosene lamp body is made of thick glass, shape such as waist belly of the gourd, upper screw on a called frog mouth cap, wick is a flat long strip of cloth, a gear clip in the, to one side of the kerosene lamp cap is a knob can be adjusted to control the kerosene lamp brightness. kerosene lamp placed on a thin glass made of transparent kerosene lampshade, kerosene lamp shade bulges in the middle, the upper part is cylindrical, mouth kerosene lamp outside there are four elastic metal sheet will be stuck in the chimney, the kerosene lamp using the thermodynamic principle, let the kerosene combustion, is extremely bright. Because of the large fuel, light is not commonly used. Since the tin to save fuel, looking for his father to empty ink bottle, cut a circular iron cover, the middle tie a hole, and then rolled into a hollow rod is inserted into the hole, put on a section of the old shoes, made the summary of the kerosene kerosene lamp in the bottle into kerosene, light for lighting, in a very long period of time, and in the evening to do the reading assignments and home lighting the kerosene lamp in the village with kerosene, a small village night gradually have some angry, not only the various windows revealing the light bright many, and the brigade (Village), the militia, primary school evening with activities, also study at  a peasant night school.

kerosene lamps and lanterns have size is not a seat type hood kerosene lamp, also has the belt umbrella type reflective cover hanging chandelier, the most used is a size of iron lantern, this kerosene lamp is arranged at the lower end of the with an oil pan and screw cover, closed, there are two iron tube frame is connected above the double gap iron cover, the middle is a glass cover, a wire handle, this light to carry and suspension is very convenient, is not afraid of a little rain, so known for "insurance" light. In that time, the insurance kerosene lamp for the night of the villagers to travel, field work, rescue and relief, etc.. The most amazing or in the early 1970s in the village to buy the kerosene lamp, kerosene lamp burning is still kerosene, but the structure is complex, fully sealed metal kerosene lamp body, circular glass kerosene lampshade, a valve with a piston, through inflating pressure, kerosene vaporizing mixed with air is injected into the bulb shaped asbestos wick cover, lit a careless sound, issued at the same time, dazzling rays of light, its brightness is not less than the hundreds of watts of light, the village meeting and play programs, organizational activities are in this light. At that time, as long as the village kerosene lamp lit, will inevitably bring about the lively and happy childhood without lights, all kinds of kerosene kerosene lamps with him through the childhood of one good night. After junior high school, with his father's work to mobilize the left a small village, from the coal oil kerosene lamp. I heard that the village in the middle of the seventy's also through electricity, oil kerosene lamps into the history. Although is not long in the mountain village of residence of the age, but left their impression and memory is very profound, deeply felt, those in the home, in the village of light a year than a year bright, lives a year than a year good, but development to today's level is anyway also surprisingly. Many times over the years, various lighting, decorative lighting and special kerosene lamp more and more advanced, more and more scientific, more and more energy saving and environmental protection, it becomes more and more beautiful, but childhood kerosene lamp fluorescent brilliant short flame, and the red and yellow soft glow still flashing in mind.
