Some lanterns are small, while large ones can be as tall as 20 meters. The Zigong Lantern Festival is shaping how people see Chinese lanterns. In 2008, the festival became national-level intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). The Zigong Lantern Festival has gone to more than 500 cities in China and more than 80 countries around the world. Zigong lanterns mix sound, light and movement in just one lantern, which are different from lanterns in other places. On the lanterns, you can find pictures of Chinese zodiacs (生肖), astronauts and so on. Wan Songtao learned to make Zigong lanterns from his father, a fine art teacher and also a lantern maker in Zigong, Sichuan. When he was a teenager, he spent every summer and winter vacation learning lantern-making. To get better at designing, Wan studied fine art in college. Now he is leading a lantern-making company in Zigong. Making a large lantern for an exhibition takes over 15 steps. One of the most important steps is the first step—designing. “We used to design the lanterns all by ourselves,” said Wan. “Now we also use AI for good ideas.” Besides AI, other technologies are also helpful. In 2024, Wan's favorite work is a sundial (日晷). It is about 20 meters high with a Chinese loong hovering over the edge of it. “We used mechanical transmission (机械传动) to make the loong move,” said Wan. “The success of Zigong lanterns comes from teamwork,” said Wan. The sundial, for example, is the work of over 80 Zigong lantern makers as well as a group of engineers. It took them over 4,000 hours to make it and bring it to the park.
