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.
