Modern people put lanterns on Kongming lanterns as a blessing. The wishes of men, women and children to write blessings by hand symbolize the bumper harvest and happiness every year.
During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, ancestors were introduced into Taibei County, Pingxi Township and Shiliao District of Taiwan Province Province from Hui 'an and Anxi counties in Fujian, that is, the upper reaches of Keelung River. 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. After the bandits left, the people who stayed in the village used sky 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. This is also the way to report peace to the villagers. Since the Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, villagers in ten regions celebrate the Lantern Festival every year and report peace to villagers in neighboring villages. Therefore, villagers in ten areas also call sky lanterns "blessing lanterns" or "safety lanterns".
