Symbolic significance of lanterns:

Lanterns symbolize family reunion, prosperity, happiness, brightness, vitality, perfection and wealth, and can create a festive atmosphere. Every new year, we should prepare a red lantern and hang it at the door or at home. On New Year's Eve, lighting and hanging red lanterns at the door or in the house not only illuminates the night, but also illuminates the peace and happiness of the whole family.

On major festivals and festive occasions, round red lanterns are hung on the streets, shops, parks, and even the doors of some large buildings and private houses in many towns across the country. In the evening, lanterns are lit, red, grand and warm, beaming. However, with the increase of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and the promotion of China's international status, more and more foreigners have a sense of identity with China Lantern, and they regard it as the traditional culture of China and respect it.
