The yin-yang is the eternal symbol of Asian culture and represents the duality of existence. When turned on, this trendy Asian lamp emits a soft white light. Everything is included--a 110-volt electrical chord, socket and switch, and bulb. For over a thousand years, the Chinese have used Asian lamps as decoration and for ceremonial purposes. It was customary for the residents of China to hang Chinese paper lanterns outside their homes to show respect for the gods and their citizenship and place within their community. Many towns had poor lighting conditions due to the government not wishing to incur the expense of street lamps. As a response, many Chinese citizens and shops used Chinese lamps and paper hanging lamps as a way to light the night. These Chinese lamps lit up their homes and shops and aided night travelers. Such Chinese lanterns were usually lit until midnight. Today, the tradition of Asian lamps continues with Chinese lantern festivals held each year around the Orient.
