That's lighting a lamp, no reward ~ ~ ~

In Hakka areas, during the Spring Festival, there will be "putting lanterns" and "hanging lanterns". Hakka people communicate with "Ding" by "light", that is, the birth of a boy is called Tian Ding, and the homonym is "adding light". During the Chinese New Year, anyone who adds Ding in the previous year will hang a big lantern in the ancestral hall. Lighting activities are very grand, and ceremonies such as "lighting" and "warming lamps" will be held. In this ceremony, the lay man took the baby boy born last year to pay homage to his ancestors first, and then to his elders, who expressed their desire for "profit". After that, the whole people drank heartily. After drinking, the baby boy will formally join the clan and inject his name into the genealogy. However, "going to the lamp" has nothing to do with girls, who are not qualified to occupy a place in the genealogy.

Hakka lanterns. Hakka gave birth to a son, because the boy means "Ding", and the word "Ding" is the same sound as the lamp, so the family that gave birth to a son will put a lamp in their ancestral hall at the Lantern Festival next year, that is, hang a beautiful lantern, and then ask the dignified old man in the village to hug the boy and formally write his name into the genealogy, and the boy will officially become a member of the family, and then put down a banquet to entertain the men in the village.

But to be honest ~ ~ ~ girls are not qualified to write genealogy ~ ~ ~ I hate this practice ~ ~ ~ although I am a man.
