Chinese New Year Celebration starts every first new moon of the year and ends on full moon 15 days later. During this celebration Chinese always celebrates it with lanterns, because lanterns because the first 15days is called Lantern Festival or so called Yuan Xaio. There is some belief about the origin of the Lantern , according to some it symbolizes worship to Taiyi, the God of Heaven in ancient times. They believe that God of Heaven controlled the fortune of human world.
They celebrate it to symbolize family affair, a time for reunion and thanksgiving. This also have great meaning to the elders because the celebration is followed according to the rituals that they should give great respect to the elders that they believe who founded the fortune of each of the family. So most or all of the Chinese people really follow tradition by letting them fly a lantern.
Lanterns are made of paper and supported with frames and at the base there is a solid fuel that produces heat and light so that it will fly. Chinese uses lantern over 2,000 years ago and until at present. Lantern oftentimes fly at almost 1,200 ft above surface and it last for about 20 minutes due to this condition the European places banned this kind of lantern especially near airports because it my cause of an accident. Accidents that may cause life lose because lantern fly on that high that sometimes may stock inside the aircraft's engine so that will cause an accident. So hopefully the Chinese people will understand the action of European especially the Britain, that The Britain people just want the safety of all.
