The birthplace of lanterns

Lantern, also known as lantern art, originated from Chinese tradition and folk life. It is usually made of paper or silk as the skin, bamboo or wood strips as the skeleton, and candles or light bulbs are placed in the middle. In ancient times, it was mainly used for lighting. In modern society, it is more than hanging on festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, adding luster to the festive days and praying for peace.

Lantern is an important entertainment culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It not only has the function of "Nuo opera" to pay God, but also has the value of entertaining people. Influenced by Chinese culture, lanterns are very common in temples in many countries and Chinese regions in Asia.
