A 600-word article about Kongming Lantern

The moonlight shines on the earth, and the sky exudes the steady atmosphere of dark blue...

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. It is also a day for lovers; and my friends and I made an appointment to go to the square to light the Kongming Lanterns. This was my first time to light the Kongming Lanterns, and I felt an inexplicable sense of excitement and anticipation...

When we were all gathered together , walked toward the square "mightily"; I saw the footprints of Kongming lanterns on the road. They were like stars in the sky, and their twinkling lights were imprinted in my heart. We chose a Feng Shui treasure place and started working; everyone was like ants, having their own responsibilities, some were taking pictures, some were lighting fires... This move attracted many people in the square to watch. I Holding the horn of the Kongming Lantern, waiting for the fire to burn vigorously and fill it with air, we all let go together and let the Kongming Lantern rise slowly with the wind.

Watching the Kongming Lantern rising slowly, the children next to me also danced and clapped their hands and said with a smile: "It's flying, it's flying." We looked at each other and smiled happily. Looking at the Kongming Lantern getting closer and closer to the dark blue night sky, I couldn't help but slowly close my eyes and make a wish. Seeing my pious and expectant look, my friends actually joked with me: "What wish did you make? Tell me, eh, if you don't want to tell me, eh, it can't be that..." After saying that, they went their separate ways. Showing an ambiguous smile, he was chattering on the side and didn't know what he was talking about. I suddenly became anxious: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm a serious person. My wishes won't work if I say them." "Haha..." They laughed even more. When I saw the evil smiles on their faces, I realized that this She was teasing me on purpose. How unreasonable! I ignored them and looked up at the night sky. Ah, the Kongming lantern we put up turned into a star in the night sky. That "star" was not an ordinary star. It contained our wishes. There are also blessings for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl...

Time passed little by little, and when I looked up again, the twinkling light of the Kongming Lantern had disappeared and disappeared without a trace... Friends said with regret: "Alas... the Kongming Lantern shines for a while, but it doesn't have that kind of light and continues to be brilliant for a lifetime." Everyone agreed with the discussion.

I fell into deep thought. The shining of the Kongming Lantern embellished the dark blue night sky with many bright spots. However, these bright spots did not last long, only for a moment. The world is not actually completely dark. If you look closely, there is a lot of light. Yes, maybe the power of light is very small, but this kind of light cannot be as short-lived as the Kongming Lantern...

Cowherd and Weaver Girl, have you received the blessings in the Kongming Lantern?
