A cheongsachorong ( Korean: 청사초롱) is a traditional Korean lantern. It is typically made by joining red and blue silk shades and hanging a candle inside the body. [1] [2] The two colors are said to represent yin and yang. [2]
Since the Joseon period, the lanterns have been largely associated with wedding ceremonies. [2] In recent years, the lantern has become displayed in various other settings in South Korea. [1]
A stylized cheongsachorong has been featured as the logo of the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit.
