Lantern, also known as lantern. Lantern is a traditional folk handicraft originated in China. In ancient times, its main function was lighting. The outer skin of lanterns is made of paper or silk, and the skeleton is usually made of bamboo strips or wooden strips, with candles or light bulbs inserted in the middle to become lighting tools. Influenced by the culture of China, lanterns are also quite common items in temples in Asian Chinese areas and many countries.

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 annual light show attracts millions of tourists, it is one of the most attractive sightseeing activities in Taiwan Province province and one of the most representative projects of art in Taiwan Province province?
