Chinese wish lanterns were originally created for communication in battle. Today, millions of these lanterns are released around the world for various celebrations. The most notable of which is the Chinese New Year. When released, they are supposed to bring good luck. But what is most striking is how beautiful these simple paper lanterns are when released into the sky. Doing a simple image search for these lanterns yields hundreds of breathtaking photos like the one above. I hope that one day, I can experience the magic of the lantern release in person.
Wish lanterns are now used for fun and in celebrations every where like weddings and other special events. It's weird how they were originally used for war purpose and now people use them for fun and celebrations. I also agree and i hope i can see a big display like this some day.
