 The tradition of releasing water lanterns usually takes place on the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival. Before the celebration, raised lantern poles and water lanterns are used to notify the wandering souls on land and in the water, inviting them to partake in the sacrifices. A grand procession is also held. On the day of releasing water lanterns, a stage is set up by the stay, offering sacrificial points and paper plutocrats. Monks or Taoist clerks preside over the form, reciting prayers and Holy Writ. Only after these rituals are completed, the water lanterns are lit and placed into the water. The tradition of releasing water lanterns usually takes place on the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival.
