Often associated with parties, paper lanterns are common in China and Japan, and similarly, in Chinatowns, where they are often hung outside of businesses to attract attention. In Japan they are called 提灯 (chōchin) and there is a special style of lettering called chōchin moji used to write on them.partiesChinaJapanChinatownschōchin moji Placing candles or tea lights in a succession of small white paper bags (known as luminaria or farolitos) is a common tradition in Hispanic communities during Christmas.tea lights luminariaHispanic Christmas In China, paper lanterns can be classified into 5 distinct classes; the Baby's Bottom is the miniature class, often used in modern times with Christmas lights. The second class is the Rolling Paper, the tall, cylindrical lanterns often associated with restaurants and bars.

The fourth class is the Crystal Magic; the variously-shaped geometric lamps constructed of many square and triangular panes. The last is known as Buddha's Gastronomy; the large and extra large lanterns used to decorate temples and for show at festivals.Big Red
