Wax candles can be lit in each segment at night. There is a colored ball in front of it, which is called "dragon seizing pearl", and it is opened by gongs, drums and suona. When the dragon lantern arrives at the door of one's home, the family must light a candle, use a bucket of plate, put rice and wooden ruler on the plate, and wrap money in red paper to welcome the arrival of the dragon lantern. Legend: the dragon is big, is the mascot, can descend the blessing, avoids evil. So the villagers very much hope that the dragon lantern can dance in front of their own house and on the ground. In recent years, Yiqiao, Xintang and other local dragon lantern teams have visited the villages of Suoqian town.
