Lantern Rite Festival

Lantern Rite is a festival in Liyue celebrated on the first full moon of the year and lasts for five days. It is said to be the biggest of Liyue's festivals.
==History==
Originally, people began releasing lanterns as a way to remind soldiers of the way home, and to never lose sight of themselves. After the Archon War ended, it became a way to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives during the war, and eventually evolved into a full-blown festival of remembrance.
The Lantern Rite coincides with one of the largest outbursts of power from gods who fell in the Archon War, which Xiao has to battle against during the festival's duration.
==Traditions==
Every year, one fallen hero from Liyue's history is selected as the subject of the Lantern Rite's Mingxiao Lantern — a massive lantern constructed from materials donated by citizens and visitors alike. The Mingxiao Lantern's size depends on the largest chunk of Plaustrite found in the previous year, and its design is usually based on one of the adepti who died protecting Liyue, In the Version 5.3 iteration, however, the lantern was based on the god Tao Dou, who was not affiliated with the adepti.
