Introduction
& nbsp; In Pingxi Township, the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival can be said to be a big day in the local area. On this day, in addition to guessing lantern riddles, it is important that local residents will set off lanterns on this day to pray. The sky lantern is commonly known as "Kongming lantern". It is said that Kongming invented the sky lantern in the Three Kingdoms Period to exchange military information. The custom of setting the sky lantern in Pingxi originated from the use of anti-theft and mutual aid during the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival), which also has similar advantages. However, since its evolution, the purpose of setting the sky lantern has become a continuation of traditional simple folk activities. In recent years, with the active promotion of relevant units, releasing sky lanterns in Pingxi Township has become one of the tourist folk activities
