Red Lantern
What do red lanterns on gravesites signify?
You see them in just about every cemetary.
Not paper lanterns, but more like maybe a candle holder. They usually have red glass and bronze metal?
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the commencement of [Yuan xiao], the “lantern” festival [Deng jie]. In Dongyang, lantern making usually begins on the 10th day of the New Year, and displays of the lanterns often continue until the 20th day, with the l4th, l5th and l6th as the busiest. On the three evenings of the 14th, 15th and 16th, households in many places hang red lanterns on the graves of their ancestors, light incense and candles, and burn paper money, the idea being to invite the ancestors out to view the lanterns, and to keep the yin and yang in harmony. If it is the grave of a recently deceased family member, fireworks are also set off
