The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of the development of palace lanterns. Wedding lanterns are called bride lanterns, which represent the celebration of the wedding. In addition to lighting and aesthetic functions, they are often a symbol.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the groom goes to marry the bride, he will use the umbrella lamp with the groom's surname written on it, which reads the man's hall number, "Marriage of two surnames, generations of descendants, generations of descendants" and so on. After the wedding, lanterns will be hung in the ancestral hall or hall of the man's house.
