Water lanterns are used as signs for the drowned
ghosts so they might find a way back to the human world for the
offerings in food and ghost money. On Halloween, Easter day or
New year, there is usually a parade of water lanterns. After
some ceremonies, the people will light up the lanterns and put
them on float. Legend has it that the farther the lantern flows
away, the better luck the family will have which the lantern
represents. |
