Chinese lanterns are a kind of traditional paper lantern of Chinese origin that is used as decoration on various occasions.
The lanterns are made of rice paper or silk and have a bamboo frame that gives them shape. Chinese lanterns are commonly used as decorations at events and celebrations, such as weddings, birthday parties, cultural festivals, and other special events.
They are also used as decoration in gardens and outdoor spaces.
Chinese lanterns can have different shapes, sizes and designs, from the traditional round or square ones to more elaborate shapes, such as animals or characters.
They are often hung from the ceiling or attached to posts and pillars to create a welcoming and festive atmosphere.
In some Asian countries, such as China, lanterns are also used in cultural and religious festivities, such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, where they are lit and thrown into the air as a form of celebration and good omen.
