Lanterns......

Sky Lanterns, historically known as Khoom Fay or Khom Fai (‘Fire Lantern,’ Chinese;Thai), are a traditional part of Asian and Thai culture dating back to 300 AD. They were first made of oiled rice paper stretched over a bamboo frame and fuelled by a small candle.  The candle heated the air inside the lantern’s skin, making the trapped air less dense than the cooler surrounding air and thereby causing the lantern to rise.

While some historians disagree, folklore credits the invention of the first sky lantern to revered Chinese military strategist Zhuge Liang.  Zhunge Liang’s reverent term of address was Kongming, which is why sky lanterns are sometimes called Kongming Lanterns, even today.  The shape of the first sky lanterns were also thought to resemble the shape of Kongming’s favored hat.
