Hi all,

We are considering to have this type of yellow lantern instead of those normal red colour one, to be installed in front of the main door (at the car porch).

Just to double check, if there is any specific meaning of using yellow lantern? Searched online but not many info available. Those available, seems ok as we don't see any disadvantages of it.

So would like to see, if anyone else came across this before or have any ideas about it.

Thanks

Yellow lanterns
Another color that is sometimes used to make lanterns is yellow, which is often associated with good luck and neutrality. This was the emperor’s color during imperial times, and it’s still associated with the five major emperors of ancient China.

Yellow also represents freedom from worldly concerns, and as such, it is heavily used in Buddhism. Yellow lanterns are often released by young people and students, as they’re said to bring good luck in school.

Red lanterns
In China, red represents wealth, fame, and prosperity, which is why festivals, weddings, and other celebrations often have a lot of red decorations and outfits. Most Chinese lanterns are red, and lanterns of this color symbolize a prosperous business and a thriving life.

Red lanterns are very popular during the year’s most important festivals, most notably the Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival. Abroad, these lanterns have become synonymous with Chinese businesses, and many Chinatowns and Chinese-owned shops and restaurants keep them hanging all year long.
