In Shezi, Taiwan, there is a tradition has been passed down more than a hundred years, that is young men lift Earth God Sedan to pray for luck, health and prosperity, using firecrackers from door to door in Lantern Festival every year. We firmly believe that the more firecrackers we use to pray, the more blessings we get. And this festival can be seen as the rite of passage for young men.
