Extended data

Modern lantern art has gradually separated from the traditional lantern practice, creating works of art with unique local flavor. It is very difficult to create, the technology involved is more complicated, and the materials used are wider and more vivid.

The creation of modern lanterns must integrate professional disciplines such as structure, mechanics, electricity, aesthetics, materials science and creativity, which is the most difficult of all artistic creations. However, because the Lantern Festival attracts millions of tourists every year, it is one of the most attractive sightseeing activities in Taiwan Province Province and one of the most representative artistic projects in Taiwan Province Province.
