===Chinese=== The earliest Chinese oil lamps are dated from the [[Warring States period]] (481β221 BC). The ancient Chinese created oil lamps with a refillable reservoir and a fibrous wick, giving the lamp a controlled flame. Lamps were constructed from [[jade]], bronze, ceramic, wood, stone, and other materials. The largest oil lamp excavated so far is one discovered in a 4th-century tomb located in modern Pingshan, Hebei.<ref name="Metropolitan">{{cite book|title=China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_JbdS-R3y72MC|year=2004|publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art|isbn=978-1-58839-126-1|pages=182β183}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture|last=Handler|first=Sarah|publisher= University of California Press|year=2001|isbn=978-0520214842|publication-date=October 1, 2001|pages=308β309}}</ref>
