The Palace Museum researchers did a lot of documental research to learn about the usage of the Sky Lantern and Longevity Lights, as well as their histories and the detailed sizes of each part of the lanterns. They also found models and the lanterns' bodies and poles, and were able to successfully restore them, reviving some of the prosperity of the celebrations during the reigns of emperors Kangxi and Qianlong.
