Legend has it that it was invented by Zhu Gekongming (Zhuge Liang) during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhu Gekongming was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang, unable to send troops out of the city for help. Kong Ming calculated the wind direction, made a floating paper lantern, tied with the message for help, and then escaped as expected, so later generations called this lantern Kong Ming Lantern.

Lift-off procedure recommendations:
The making method of Kongming Lantern is simple, but it is greatly influenced by the venue and weather when it is launched. When the wind is strong, it is easy to blow the lamp body obliquely and burn it out. It's easy to get wet when it rains and can't be released, so it's best to throw it when there is no wind.
1。 First, turn on the lamp body and tie the control lines around and at the bottom.
2。 Fill it with fuel.
3。 After ignition, the air inlet should be as low as possible to reduce the loss of hot air, but not too low to avoid the flameout due to insufficient oxygen. At the same time, the surrounding control lines must be straightened.
4。 When the temperature of the hot gas in the lamp body is enough, slowly loosen the surrounding control lines to keep the lamp body rising steadily. The control line at the bottom must control the rising speed and height of the lamp body.
5。 After the sphere is launched, its height and direction can be linearly controlled, and it can also float freely, thus completing the launch.
When taking off with a light, tie a piece of coarse cloth or gold paper stained with kerosene or peanut oil in the middle of the bracket at the bottom, and light the fuel before flying. After the fire in the lamp burns for a while, it will produce hot air and the lanterns will expand. After flying, the whole lantern will soar in Ran Ran. If the weather is clear and the kerosene at the bottom burns out, the Kongming Lantern will automatically descend.
Note: Kongming Lantern must be released in windless weather and open places, otherwise it will not fly to the sky and may cause fire. You need 2-3 people to cooperate when flying, and it is strongly required to be accompanied by an adult. In addition, the cable can be tied to the bottom of Kongming Lantern, which can not only fly repeatedly, but also control the take-off height and range to avoid fire.
