What is the difference between a torch and a candle?

Torches and candles are burning appliances that can be used for lighting.

Torch, also known as torch, is a tool to ignite and transmit kindling. Generally, it is made of flammable materials (such as rags soaked in oil or asphalt) tied to one end of a wooden stick. The torch is a symbol of national unity, and the torch is a symbol of the Olympic peak. It is also often compared to high goals in life, great value in life, contribution to society and inheritance of civilization.

Candles are made of wax or other fuels and have wicks inside, which can burn continuously after being lit. Candles are generally used for lighting, but after the power revolution, they are gradually replaced by electric lights. Nowadays, candles are mostly used as backup lighting supplies in case of power failure. Candles are also used in festivals or other special days and religious places. People usually light candles in rallies or collective mourning activities all over the country. Traditional weddings in China will light red candles to celebrate; White candles will be lit at the funeral. In addition, candles are also used for heating. Candle is a metaphor of low goal in life and low social value.
