People in ancient villages of east China's Zhejiang and Anhui Provinces are preparing fish lanterns as the Chinese New Year approaches. Fish lanterns have their roots in the Chinese saying of "年年有余," meaning "may you have surplus year after year." They represent fishermen's hope for prosperity and abundance in the coming year.
Bao Jiqin, a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of fish lantern-making, hopes that he can pass down the fish lantern-making technique, so that the lanterns always illuminate the sky.
Watch beautiful fish lanterns lighting up the sky in ancient Chinese towns.
