In the olden days, Chinese used them as lamps and eventually, for worshipping Buddha. Since then, it has been a staple festivities such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival.

“In feng shui, the metal environment is clean, pristine, pared-down, and shiny like metal,” Levitt wrote. “Begin by cleaning your home, reduce clutter, and maintain tidiness all year round. The main focus is on the bedroom as hard-working oxen do best after peaceful sleep.”
