Making principle of lanterns

In a square or round paper lantern, an iron wire is inserted as a vertical shaft, an impeller is installed above the shaft, two crossed thin iron wires are installed in the center of the shaft, and paper-cuts of people and horses are attached to both ends of the iron wires. After the candle in the lantern is lit, the hot air rises to form an airflow, which drives the impeller to rotate, so the paper-cut rotates with the axle. Their shadows are projected on the cover of lantern paper.
