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. The two colors are said to represent yin and yang.
Since the Joseon period, the lanterns have been largely associated with wedding ceremonies. In recent years, the lantern has become displayed in various other settings in South Korea.
A stylized cheongsachorong has been featured as the logo of the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit.
