Chinese Lantern Festivals under the Sui Dynsasty in China
Until the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century, Emperor Yangdi invited dignitaries from overseas to China to see the colorful lit lanterns and enjoy the gala performances. By the Seventh Century and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the chinese lantern displays would last for three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew, allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns through day and night. In the Song Dynasty, the festival was celebrated for five days and the activities began to spread to other big cities in China. Jade and other colorful glass was used to make the lanterns, with figures from folk tales painted on the lanterns.
The largest Lantern Festival celebration took place in the early 15th century and the festivities continued for ten days. Emperor Chengzu had the downtown city area set aside as a cenre for lantern displays. In Beijing today, there is a place called Dengshikou. In Chinese, Deng means lantern and Shi is market. The area became a market where lanterns could be sold during the day. During the evenings, the local people would go there to see the beautiful lighted lanterns on display. Even today, the display of lanterns is still a great event on the 15th day of the first lunar month in China. Chengdu in Sichuan Province in Southwest China holds a lantern fair each year in their Cultural Park. During their Lantern Festival, the park becomes an ocean of lanterns with new designs attracting countless visitors. The most eye-catching lantern is the Dragon Pole. This is a lantern in the shape of a golden dragon, spiraling up a 27-meter-high pole, spraying fireworks from its mouth. Other places, like Shanghai and Hangzhou as well as other economically advanced cities adopted electric lantern or neon lantern beside traditional paper or wooden lantern.

is there a special meaning behind a chinese wooden comb?
i'm not sure who can answer this, i know it's a little iffy.
i was given a gift recently from my boyfriend of 5 months who is from shanghai, just before he left our school to go home for the summer before college. it was a decorative box with a really beautiful wooden chinese comb with a floral pattern around the edge. it's very intricate and nice.
my roommate is also from mainland china and when i showed the comb to her she told me that the gift actually had a special meaning behind it, but she won't tell me what it is. I'm actually really curious now...so if anybody has some background knowledge on stuff like this it'd be awesome if you could fill me in.
