Customs: On the eve of the Ghost Festival, a round paper lantern attached to a bamboo pole is set up in the courtyard of each temple. On the night of the festival, each lantern is lighted to guide solitary ghosts lost in the world.
在普渡前一天的傍晚，各廟的廟庭會豎起一支竹桿，上面掛著圓型燈籠，燈籠上寫著「慶贊中元」的字樣，這叫「豎燈篙」，是為了要在普渡當天點上燈火，以便指引回到陽間渡假的孤魂野鬼，前來聚集休憩，並享用人們準備的豐盛祭品。
