Chinese Lantern / Lanterns / Lotus Lanterns / Paper Lanterns The ancient Chinese would capture fireflies in transparent or semi-transparent containers and use them as (short-term) lanterns. Raise the Red Lantern, a Chinese film, prominently features lanterns as a recurring motif. Lanterns are used in many Asian festivals throughout the year. During the Ghost Festival, lotus-shaped lanterns are set adrift in rivers and seas to symbolically guide lost souls of forgotten ancestors to the afterlife. During the Lantern Festival, displaying numerous lanterns remains a common sight on the 15th day of the first lunar month across China. In other Chinese celebrations, kongming lanterns can be seen soaring high into the sky during various festivities.
