Xiaoshi: Mark, Mingwen and I are going to Keelung to watch the water lanterns parade. Do you want to go together?
Mark: “Water lanterns parade”? What is that?
Xiaoshi: Before releasing the water lanterns, they will show you different water lanterns’ shapes, and there will be some performances as well.
Mark: Oh, then what is the “water lantern”?
Xiaoshi: We will put the things made of paper on the water, and then burn it to make it look shiny on the water.
Mark: I’ve seen that in a video, so that’s what a “shuǐdēng” (water lantern) is.
Xiaoshi: Yes! In this way, ancestors or ghosts who don’t know where to go can find their way back.
Mark: Well, I know that the Chungyuan Festival is also a festival for worshiping ancestors. I’ll go with you to see the water lantern parade.
