2. Candle lamps have a strong cultural atmosphere. In the traditional culture of China, candle lights are closely related to many festivals and celebrations. For example, during the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, people will light colorful candle lights to show celebration and reunion. In addition, candle lamps are often used in sacrificial activities, such as ancestor worship and worship of gods, to express respect and gratitude to ancestors and gods.

Knowledge of candle lights and electric lights

1. Candle lamp is a traditional lighting tool, with candles as the main light source. Candle lamps have the advantages of portability, simplicity and convenient use. In ancient times, people did not have electric lights, and candle lights were the main lighting tools. With the development of science and technology, electric light has gradually replaced the position of candle light, but in some occasions and festivals, candle light still has special significance and value.

2. Electric lamp is a modern lighting tool that uses electric energy as energy. The advantages of electric lamp are high brightness, long service life, energy saving and environmental protection. There are many kinds of modern electric lamps, such as incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and LED lamps, which bring great convenience to people's lives. However, electric lamps also have some problems, such as electromagnetic radiation and light pollution.

Electric lamp has some advantages over candle lamp. From the point of view of environmental protection, the electric lamp can be used for a long time, which reduces the number of changing candles, thus reducing the impact on the environment. In addition, modern electric lamps are constantly improving energy efficiency and reducing pollution in the process of design and manufacture. However, excessive dependence on electricity may lead to energy crisis and environmental pollution.
