Part of the excitement of playing with lantern (during the Mid-Autumn Festival) is the lighting of the candle. A young child is usually very impressed with his elder brother or sister who have the skill to strike the matches and carefully maneuver it inside the lantern to light the candle. If a candle is not placed properly, it may tilt to one side and burn the lantern. If one don't know how to avoid strong wind, then the candle will be out. There are so much fun and so many things to learn from playing with lantern.
