What is the symbolic meaning of lanterns?
Reunion is meaningful and people are prosperous. Lanterns are also collectively called lanterns. Lanterns originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 1800 years ago. In the past, people who had the conditions would hang lanterns, usually during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. Lanterns are closely related to people's lives in China. There are lanterns everywhere in temples and living rooms. People hang red lanterns symbolizing reunion to create a festive atmosphere. Later, the red lantern became a symbol of happiness for the people of China.
Up to now, with the popularity of electric lights, people seldom use lanterns, so they only hang lanterns around the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival to increase the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Because the pronunciation is similar to that of Tianding, lanterns are also used to pray for children. In the Japanese occupation era, patriots painted folk stories on lanterns to teach their children and grandchildren to know their own culture, so it has the significance of being passed down from generation to generation.
