Can I make a wish on the Lantern Festival?

Yes, you can.

According to the festival custom, on this day, besides eating jiaozi and enjoying lanterns, there is also the habit of burning incense and praying in temples. Some people started early, and the roads were brightly lit in the early morning.

The moral of Lantern Festival is that Kongming lanterns are also called "sky lanterns". In the real society, people also call it "wishing lamp". People will pin all their wishes on this lantern, hoping that their wishes can come true. In fact, it is said that the Kongming Lantern was invented by Zhu Gekongming, so people usually call it "Kongming Lantern". It is a traditional custom to make a wish on the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month. I believe that this kind of behavior can be blessed by our ancestors, but there is no guarantee that our wishes will come true. Only through their own efforts to achieve a beautiful dream, the desire can become a reality.
