Lantern (Foshan Lantern) is a traditional folk art in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, and it is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Foshan lanterns, commonly known as lanterns, are indispensable handicrafts in various folk festivals in Foshan and surrounding areas. Since the Song Dynasty, with the rise of Foshan Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Foshan Lantern Festival came into being.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folk art competitions rose again in Foshan, among which the "Lantern Festival", which displayed colorful lanterns in a roving way, was particularly popular, and the production of colored tied lanterns gradually became a market, which was very prosperous and became an important craft variety in Foshan's urban and rural domestic and export trade. By the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of tie-making skills were subdivided into their own industries, and "tie-making" was very prosperous.

Foshan Lantern is exquisitely bound, paying attention to the smooth and natural surface of the lamp, not revealing "gallery bones", but also being sun-proof and waterproof, adapting to various environmental performances and maintaining long-term ornamental effects. Lanterns are decorated with copper paper-cuts unique to Foshan, with rich patterns, resplendence and various forms.
