Lantern Making History

Lanterns are believed to have originated in ancient China over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE to 220 CE). Initially, they were made of bamboo frames covered with paper or silk. These lanterns were often used for religious and ceremonial purposes and symbolised the hope for a bright future.
