The mid-autumn that falls on August 15 of the lunar calendar is a traditional festival for children to hold lanterns going in a parade from the end of an ally to the other. In the evening, they kindle candles that are put inside a lantern. Along with their next door friends, they take a line, each of them holds a lantern and sing mid-autumn songs. That's a game of children on this occasion.
Lanterns are produced in various forms of a fish, butterfly, plane, ship, but rarely a coffin with a cross at the end as featured in a photo above. Maybe, this is the first time such a kind of a lantern is produced by a weird idea. Who dares to buy such a kind of a lantern!
