Chinese red lanterns are very famous and meaningful. Lanterns have a long history, and they first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty(朝代). It is a tradition that people hang colourful lanterns to celebrate family reunion and wish for a stable society and a strong country.
In the past, lanterns were mainly used for light. But now, they are used for festivals and celebrations.
Making lanterns is not very difficult. They are usually made of bamboo frames(框架), covered with red paper or silk. They often use the colour red because red represents(象征) happiness and luck in Chinese culture. Lanterns come in different kinds of shapes, but the most common are round or oval(椭圆形的).
People often hang red lanterns during important festivals, especially the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. Red lanterns are a beautiful and important part of Chinese traditions.
