Traditional Chinese Lanterns

Chinese Paper Lanterns

In China, red represents many things. It is the traditional wedding color and the color most prominently featured during the Chinese New Year. As a symbol, red is associated with courage, honor, loyalty, success, fertility, and happiness, making it an extremely auspicious color. A red traditional paper lantern is the perfect item to convey these qualities during celebrations. Pair these Chinese paper lanterns with any of our hand fans or paper parasols to complete your Chinese New Year or party decorating scheme.

Sometimes called the Lunar New Year, the Chinese New Year is important not only in China but also in the vast majority of East Asia, including in countries such as Korea, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, and the Philippines. However, the lanterns used in the New Year festival differ in appearance from the lanterns used in the Mid-Autumn Festival because they are oval shaped rather than spherical. An Asian Ideas lantern may also be used as a Japanese paper lantern.
