1, what's the point of hanging lanterns on the balcony? Hanging lanterns on the balcony should be even: hanging lanterns on the balcony should be even. People in China like even numbers, so whether you hang them at the gate or on the balcony, they must be 2, 6 and 8. Because as the saying goes, men can live a long and happy life.

For example, China's New Year lanterns are hung in the south, not in the north. Actually, besides the south, things are ok. But it just can't reach the north. Because in the exquisite geomantic omen, the northern water can hurt good luck, which is an unlucky implication. And now the houses are basically facing south, once in winter, it is extremely cloudy. A pair of red lanterns are hung on both sides of the south gate to supplement the spirit of the sun.

Generally speaking, lanterns hung on the fifteenth day of the first month after the New Year must be destroyed and cannot be used in the next year. In the past, lanterns were all lit by candles, and they were usually extinguished directly by candlelight. Nowadays lanterns are all powered by electricity, so just put them away, put them in clean bags and throw them away.
