Lantern, also known as lantern. Lantern is a traditional folk handicraft originated in China. In ancient times, its main function was lighting. Paper or silk was used as the outer skin of the lantern, and the skeleton was usually made of bamboo or wood strips with candles or light bulbs in the middle, which became a lighting tool. Influenced by Chinese culture, 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, and created works of art with unique local flavor. It is very difficult to create, the technology involved is more complicated, and the materials used are broader and more lively. The creation of modern lanterns must be integrated into such specialized disciplines as structure, mechanics, electricity, aesthetics, materials science and creativity, which is the most difficult of all artistic creations. However, because the annual Lantern Festival exhibition can attract millions of tourists to watch, it is one of the most attractive sightseeing activities in Taiwan Province, and it is also one of the most representative projects of Taiwan Province art. ?
