Originating from the Pearl River Delta in southeastern Guangdong, Foshan lantern craftwork draws from the diverse folk activities and customs of the Foshan region. Exploring a wide range of themes, Foshan lanterns often depict harvest festivals, ritualistic blessings, or scenes of traditional Chinese folklore. The lantern’s production includes four major processes: firstly, design and material selection, usually involving high-quality wood for the frame and copper foil paper for the lining; secondly, frame construction which consists of treating the wood, assembling the pieces and carving detailed patterns into the frame; thirdly, panel creation and decoration, where the craftsman cuts the copper foil paper and engraves the outline to create their distinctive bright glow; and finally the component integration where the paper panels are installed into the frame, before the tassels and light source are added.
