Overview
Lantern Rite Festival is a festival in Liyue celebrated on the first full moon of the year and lasts for five days.
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.
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.
