The reporter found that all towns and villages in Yunfu City have similar "hanging lights" ceremonies, which are usually carried out from the eighth day to the tenth day of the first month, and the lights are "off" around the fifteenth day of the first month. Mr Li Jianliang, who is familiar with the customs of Yunfu, told reporters that this traditional "hanging lanterns" ceremony has been going on in Yunfu for at least several hundred years. Some people say that the ancestors of some villages brought them from the Central Plains and Fujian, and then "improved" them into what they are now.
This traditional ceremony is particularly popular in towns and villages such as Baishi, Zhen 'an, Gaocun and Fulin, but the specific details are different. "Every village has its own specific practices, but it always symbolizes good luck." Li Jianliang said.
Li Jianliang told reporters that in some villages, a "public lamp" will be hung, which means that not every household has to hang a lamp, but everyone pays for a "public lamp" as a representative, which is both environmentally friendly and economical. At the same time, whenever there are villagers in the village, as long as a "lantern festival" is held, the villagers will spontaneously help, which not only brings the relationship between the neighbors closer, but also saves a lot of expenses, which is of great help to promote the neighborhood harmony in rural society.
