The dragon plays a very important role in China culture, representing sacredness and authority. Dragon symbolizes China people's boldness of vision and cultural self-confidence, and is one of the important symbols of China culture. In ancient China, the emperor often claimed to be the incarnation of "Dragon" to show his nobility and supreme power. Therefore, dragons often appear in palaces, temples, public buildings and other places for the decoration of various religious and cultural activities.
With the development and change of society, the dragon gradually lost its lofty position in culture and belief in modern society. However, people's love and preference for dragons have not diminished, and lanterns with dragon patterns are still one of the common decorations in traditional festivals in China. At the same time, many merchants regard dragon as a symbol of enterprise to show their enterprising corporate culture. Therefore, the dragon image on lanterns is also used for commercial promotion and brand building.
