Apart from a tradition of eating yuanxiao – sticky rice balls stuffed with different fillings – the Yuanxiao Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is also a day to observe various beautiful lanterns.

Inspired by the renowned Chinese painting depicting palace life during the Han Dynasty, this exquisite paper lantern garnered much attention at a recent book fair. Its innovative design seamlessly blends tradition and modern convenience, with a smartphone-like charging function that makes it both elegant and practical.

In his masterpiece "Spring Morning in Han Palace" by Qiu Ying, a Ming Dynasty painter, the courtyard is deep and serene, the ladies are at ease, and every detail touched by the spring breeze is full of poetic charm.

This lantern brings the vibrant spring scene in the painting to life with modern light and shadow, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to this special day, China's Lantern Festival.
