The dragon lamp is exquisitely shaped and is also the master of Wenzhou folk crafts. Dragon lanterns with different characteristics and styles make the dragon lantern customs more abundant.
The custom of making dragon lanterns is passed down from generation to generation, and the production skills of dragon lanterns are also passed down from generation to generation. In Yongjia Shangtang, there is a post-00s dragon lantern maker. In our impression, the makers of dragon lanterns are often teachers, and Liao Shihao, who is in his early twenties, began to make dragon lanterns because he had been interested in dragon lanterns since he was a child.
