| Chinese Lantern & Lantern Festival |
|
Chinese lantern is a decorative collapsible lantern of thin, brightly
colored paper. A Chinese lantern is a small light bulb, or candle
flame, surrounded by a shell of fragile, dyed paper. The light from
the bulb scatters off the paper, and makes the paper glow. A planetary
nebula works the same way. The collapsed core is the tiny bulb inside,
and the ejected gas is the colored paper.
Lanterns are displayed in festivals such Mid-Autumn Festival,
National Day etc. Lantern making has long history and there are
a lot of romance stories told about lanterns and lovers related
to this festival. |
