The main materials for making lanterns are bamboo strips (or wooden strips), rice paper, pen and ink, string, paste, scissors and so on. Chinese lanterns, collectively referred to as lanterns, are an ancient Han traditional handicraft. It originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Before and after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people put up red lanterns that symbolize reunion to create a festive atmosphere. Later, the lantern became a symbol of Chinese festivity. After the inheritance and development of the lantern artists of the past dynasties, a variety of varieties and superb craftsmanship have been formed. In terms of types, there are palace lanterns, yarn lanterns, chandeliers, etc.; in terms of shapes, there are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects, etc. In addition, there are revolving lanterns for people to enjoy. Besides lighting, lanterns have other meanings. Every year when the private school starts in the first lunar month, parents will prepare a lantern for their children, which will be lit by the teacher. Xiangyu students will have a bright future, which is called "turning on the lantern." Later, it evolved into the custom of carrying lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Similar, so lanterns are also used to pray for children.
