Lantern in China combines painting art, paper cutting, paper binding, sewing and other techniques. Palace lanterns and gauze lanterns are the most famous lanterns made in ancient China. Lanterns are closely related to the people of China. There are lanterns everywhere in temples and living rooms. After careful calculation, there were lanterns in China after Qin and Han Dynasties and paper lanterns after the invention of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Lanterns in China are not only used for lighting, but also a symbol. Wu Dunhou said that he used to make bridal lanterns (that is, palace lanterns) to represent wedding celebrations; Bamboo lanterns announce that this is a funeral occasion; Umbrella lamp (word surname lamp), because the pronunciation of "lamp" and "ding" is the same, indicating that people are prosperous. Therefore, in the past, every household had a surname lamp hanging under the eaves and in the living room.

Today, there are still two big lanterns in front of God's head, which is a continuation of this custom.
