Many northerners will pay homage to their deceased relatives on this day, which is called sending cold clothes. Burning winter clothes on the Cold Clothes Festival: It is usually carried out in the morning.

The five-color paper comes in five colors: red, yellow, blue, white and black. It is thin and some even have cotton in the middle.

It is one of China's traditional folk festivals. The origin of the Lower Yuan Festival is related to Taoism. Taoism has three officials: the Heavenly Official, the Earthly Official, and the Water Official. They are called the Heavenly Official who bestows blessings with the nine qi of the Shangyuan, the Earthly Official who pardons sins with the seven qi of the Zhongyuan, and the Water Official who relieves disasters with the five qi of the Xiayuan. The birthdays of the Three Officials are: the 15th day of the first lunar month when the Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month when the Earthly Official pardons sins, and the 15th day of the tenth lunar month when the Water Official relieves disasters. These three days are known as the "Shangyuan Festival", "Zhongyuan Festival" and "Xiayuan Festival". The Lower Yuan Festival is the day when the Water God relieves people from disasters and the Yanggu Emperor relieves people from misfortunes. It is commonly known as the Lower Yuan Day. Pray to the gods during the Lower Yuan Festival: Judging from the evolution of the content and objects of sacrifice, the Lower Yuan Festival has incorporated many sacrificial customs in agricultural production, making it an agricultural festival for worshiping gods, praying for disasters and evil spirits, and praying for a good harvest. In Putian, Fujian Province, every household will offer sacrifices to the water god in the fields in the evening of the Lower Yuan Festival, praying for moisture for the crops in the dry winter and for their safety during the winter. During the sacrifice, vegetarian food is placed on the table and incense sticks are inserted into the ridges of the fields to show piety.
