*The red lantern is regarded as a symbol of ginger tooth in folk tradition**.

This traditional custom has its roots in a mythological story. It is rumored that after overthrowing the tyrannical rule of the Shang king, Jiang Ziya was appointed by Yuan Shi Tianzun as the person in charge of the gods. However, there is a wife in the world who dislikes him in every way, and she begged Jiang Ziya to give her a god position, so Jiang Ziya named her a "poor god".

Due to the limited number of immortals on the god list, Jiang Ziya was not named a god in the end.

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, when the gods return to their thrones, the people care that Jiang Ziya has nowhere to go, so they light a lantern on the head of the high pole, and under the lamp is his temporary god seat. Wherever he passed by, the gods avoided it, "Jiang Taigong is here, there are no taboos", and the people were also sheltered. Over time, the folk formed the habit of lighting lanterns, and the red lantern also became a symbol of Jiang Ziya.
