Xiashi decorative colored lanterns are an ancient folk art. Influenced by the culture of Qiantang tide for hundreds of years, the ancient Xiashi decorative colored lanterns have developed into different forms of folk artworks with superb workmanship, which integrate the essence of folk arts as well as calligraphic arts such as painting, calligraphy, poetry, rhymed verses, seal-cutting and embroidery, etc. and entail poetic and artistic conceptions. They are not only of great handicraft value and aesthetic value but also of considerable collecting value. Xiashi decorative colored lanterns are exquisitely made, combining the special lantern-making skills in both southern and northern regions of China, numerous in types, varied in design and bright in color. They enjoy high reputation both nationwide and worldwide.
