Is this your homework? If you want to learn from this, it would be better for you to translate it into English first, and then have other people correct it for you. Anyhow, here it is:

Chinese Red Lanterns originated in the 1800's during the Western Han dynasty period. Every year on The 15th day of the first month of the Lunar year, people hang these lanterns in their homes.  They symbolize unity and create a festive atmosphere. Over time, they have become a symbol of jubilation for Chinese people. These lanterns are comprised of many different crafts, including painting and papercutting. They are made from materials coming from all over China, such as bamboo, wood, and silk. Aside from just providing light, the lanterns have other uses. For example, in the olden days when children were starting school parents would prepare a lantern for the teaher to light, symbolizing bright prospects for their children.
