On which festival do you put lanterns? When will the Kongming Lantern be released?

1. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival.

Sky lanterns, also known as Kongming lanterns, were first created by Zhuge (Kongming) in the era of origin. In order to convey military information in the city, Kong Ming made lanterns based on the principle of hot air balloon to facilitate communication. They are also pioneers of hot air balloons in the world today, showing the superb wisdom of China people.

3. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, ancestors spread from Fujian, Hui 'an and Anxi counties in Chinese mainland to Taibei County, Pingxi Township and Shiliao District in Taiwan Province Province, that is, the upper reaches of Keelung River.

4. According to the oral accounts of the elders in Shiliao area, bandits occurred in Shiliao area in the early Qing Dynasty. Being located in the mountainous area, all the villagers fled to the mountains. When the bandits left, the people who stayed in the village used lanterns as signals at night to inform the villagers who had taken refuge in the mountains that they could go down the mountain and go home, and also to report to the villagers that they were safe.

As the Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, villagers in ten regions celebrate the Lantern Festival every year and report the safety to the villagers in neighboring villages. Therefore, villagers in ten areas also call sky lanterns "blessing lanterns" or "safety lanterns".
