天燈



天燈又稱為孔明燈，相傳為三國諸葛亮的發明，也被公認為熱氣球的始祖，起初是為了傳遞訊息之用，但目前通常則被當成節慶祈福許願的工具。

由來
相傳孔明燈是諸葛孔明為了傳遞軍情，所以發明了用紙紮的大型空飄紙燈籠。諸葛亮當時被司馬懿困於平陽，以當時的科技水準，無法與外界聯絡，只好製作大型燈籠，空飄後當成求救信。
知名學者李約瑟也指出，西元1241年蒙古人曾經在李格尼茲（Liegnitz）戰役中使用過龍形天燈傳遞信號。

The Kongming lantern (Chinese:zh:孔明灯) was the first hot air balloon, said to be invented by Zhuge Liang in popular lore, whose reverent term of address (his Chinese style name) was Kongming. This is however unlikely, and the technological discovery is probably misattributed. According to the sinologist and historian of science Joseph Needham, the Chinese experimented with mini-hot air balloons from as early as the 3rd century BC - but the attribution of this to Kongming is likely apocryphal.

[edit] Use of the Kongming Lantern
First deployed as a type of signalling balloon or - it is claimed - a type of spy blimp in warfare. Later non-military applications were mooted as they became popular with children at carnivals. These lanterns were subsequently incorporated into festivals like the Chinese Mid-Autumn and Lantern Festivals.
