Legend about lanterns:
Legend has it that Jiang Ziya did not have his own post after he became a deity, and only a fairy acted for him when he traveled. On New Year's Eve, the gods returned to their places, but Jiang Ziya had nowhere to go. Seeing his pity, people lit a lamp on the head of a high club and let him spend the night under the lamp. Over time, the custom of lighting lamps has been formed.
