The custom of "counting palace lanterns" with stone lanterns in the east of Fujian and Taiwan is the same folk custom in Fujian and Taiwan. It belongs to Jiaying Temple in Dongshi Town, and has a strong folk character and a fixed festival.
On the 13th day of the first month of each year, the groom who got married last year hangs the palace lantern of the bride's dowry in Jiaying Temple to participate in activities. A red hydrangea lamp is made by Gong and hung in the center of the hall.
For three nights, men, women and children gathered in the temple to enjoy colorful palace lanterns, or listen to people solve riddles on lanterns or Nanyin, and count the number of hanging palace lanterns to see how many lanterns this year have increased compared with last year. At midnight of the Lantern Festival, the grooms and grooms gather in the "Three Palaces". After the person in charge reported that the number of palace lanterns in Taiwan Province Province and local areas was * * * to celebrate the prosperity of the people on both sides of the strait, the highlight of the palace lantern counting activity was held: the groom threw cups in front of the "Sangongye" seat, the person who threw the most cups set off firecrackers, and blew the red hydrangea lamp home with red armor.
Later, others also welcomed their palace lanterns home and hung them in their new houses, praying for the "three masters" to bless a happy marriage and have a baby early.

Nan 'an Fengzhou Lantern Festival
It is said that Fuxi, the ancestor of Fuxi who opened Fujian, led troops to settle in Fujian more than 1000 years ago. Fu set up Tang Palace in Taoyuan, and the Lantern Festival was decorated according to Chang 'an Lantern Festival. This was the first time that Taoyuan lit a lamp, and it spread all over southern Fujian. Fengzhou also became the first place in Quanzhou to start lighting on the Lantern Festival.
Apart from the Lantern Festival in Fu's Ancestral Hall, the Lantern Festival in Yanshan Huangjiamiao has a long history, which keeps pace with the times and has a history of more than 600 years. The custom of drilling lamp feet and breaking flower branches is very interesting.
