Chinese lanterns are the traditional culture of China and have long history over thousand years. It is said that they originated in the Han Dynasty. Lanterns are hung outside each house to celebrate when some important festivals come, and in the ancient time Chinese people also use the lanterns for lighting because of lacking of the high technology on electricity.
The traditional Chinese lantern is an open paper container with a candle inside.
