Introduction to Changxin Palace Lantern: Unearthed from Dou Wan’s tomb in 1968. The body of the palace lantern is a gilded palace lady sitting in a posture with a lantern in both hands, with a calm and elegant expression. The lamp body is 48 cm in height and weighs 15.85 kg. The design of the palace lantern Changxin is very clever. The palace maid holds the lamp in one hand, and the sleeve of the other hand seems to be blocking the wind. It is actually a siphon to absorb oil smoke, which not only prevents air pollution, but also has aesthetic value. This palace lantern was named after it was placed in the Changxin Palace of Empress Dowager Dou (grandmother of Liu Sheng).
