I bought this postcard when I visited the exhibition about Disney with one of my friends who I have known since I was an elementary school student.
The girl in the postcard is Rapunzel, the heroine in the movie, or in the fairy tale, "Tangled."
I believe that everybody knows this widespread and famous story, so let's skip it here.
But if you haven't seen the file and you are interested in the movie, you can watch their trailer.
Or you already watched the movie, you can check out this funny featurette
.
The flying lanterns, or the sky lanterns, play the important roles in Tangled, and that is exactly what we are going to talk about in this article.
Flying lanterns are real!! The people do launch flying lanterns in Taiwan on 元宵節(Lantern Festivals.)
It's said that during Three-Kingdom Period, 諸葛亮(Zhuge Liang) was trapped in 平陽 by 司馬懿(Sima Yi). To break free, Zhuge Liang made the first flying lanterns and attached the message on it, and it worked out! Zhuge Liang escaped from danger successfully.
And it's also said that during Qing Dynasty, the bandits overran in 十分 region. To escape being confronted by the bandits, the residents ran into the mountain area. After the bandits left, the people staying in the village launched the flying lanterns to inform those hiding in the mountain area of that it's safe to go home now.
Nowadays, people launch flying lanterns not to inform somebody of their safety but to pray for blessings; people write their wishes and launch them!
平溪(Pingxi District), Taiwan, are known for the ceremonies of launching flying lanterns.
Besides, flying lanterns are launched in many countries, including China, Japan, Thailand, Mexico, and Poland.
It's really touching to launch a flying lantern with the one you love :"))
The real flying lanterns are much more beautiful than they look like in the movie.
You should try launching one :))!
Google "flying lanterns" and you will find some beautiful photos!
Or You can check out some films about launching flying lanterns on Youtube :).
Btw, I like Flynn, haha!
