Should we send lanterns to our deceased relatives on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month?

In some areas of our country, there is a custom of sending lanterns to deceased relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The custom of sending lanterns to deceased relatives on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month began in the Ming Dynasty in my country. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, went to look for his mother's grave on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, but as he couldn't find it, he lit a lamp in front of each grave and kowtowed continuously. The grave in front of which the lamp was not extinguished was his mother's grave.
In order to commemorate Zhu Yuanzhang and promote filial piety, people send lanterns to their deceased relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, every year.
Therefore, in some areas of our country, there is a custom of sending lanterns to deceased relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

What should we pay attention to when sending lanterns during the Lantern Festival?

Note 1:
When sending lanterns, it is auspicious for whoever lights it first. Note 2: When lighting a lamp in front of a grave, you cannot borrow fire, because people believe that borrowing fire to light a lamp means that your family will not be able to live and will not have a prosperous life.
Note three:
Only when the woman's family has no relatives will the married daughter deliver the lanterns on her behalf.
Note 4:
The candles used to light the ancestral graves must be red or yellow-green candles. It is taboo to light white candles.
Note five:
Gold and silver lamps are usually placed in front of the graves to ensure that the ancestors will always have gold and silver and enjoy wealth and prosperity in the underworld.

What time is the best time to send lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month in 2022?

Zi hour: 23:00-00:59 (unlucky time)
Seasonal occasion: Make a stove offering, pray for blessings, fast and offer sacrifices to the gods
Chou time: 01:00-02:59 (auspicious time)
Suitable for: praying for blessings, seeking offspring, getting engaged, getting married, seeking wealth, opening the market, setting up the bed, offering sacrifices
Chen time: 07:00-08:59 (auspicious time)
Suitable for: praying for blessings, seeking offspring, getting engaged, getting married, traveling, seeking wealth, opening the market, trading, setting up the bed, offering sacrifices
Wei time: 13:00-14:59 (auspicious time)
Suitable for: praying for a son, getting engaged, getting married, building a new home, opening a business, burying, and offering sacrifices
You Hour: 17:00-18:59 (unlucky time)
Suitable for: Offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, paying tribute to the gods, getting engaged, getting married, traveling, seeking wealth, settling down for burial, seeking heirs
Hai Hour: 21:00-22:59 (auspicious time)
Suitable for: praying for wealth and honor, offering sacrifices and praying for blessings to the gods
Because sending lanterns must be done after dark, we can first rule out the hours of Chen and Wei. Secondly, because the yin energy in the tomb is too heavy, and the later the time is, the heavier the yin energy is, so the time to send lanterns can also be out of Zi hour, Chou hour and Hai hour. Therefore, the most suitable time to send lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 2022 is You hour .
