In the Hakka area of Huizhou, during the Spring Festival, a ceremony of "putting out lanterns" will be held in the countryside. Anyone who added lanterns last year will hang a big lantern in the ancestral hall. During this period, the householder will take the baby boy born last year to pay homage to the ancestors first, and then to the elders, who will express their desire to "seek profit". After that, the whole clan will have a big drink. After drinking, the baby boy will formally join the clan and inject his name into the genealogy.

Hakka gave birth to a son, because the boy means "Ding" and "Ding" is the same sound as lamp, so the family that gave birth to a son will put a lamp in their ancestral temple during the Lantern Festival next year. Lighting activities are very grand, and ceremonies such as "lighting" and "warming lamps" will be held. In this ceremony, the lay man took the baby boy born last year to pay homage to his ancestors first, and then to his elders, who expressed their desire to "seek profit". After that, the whole people drank heartily. After drinking, the baby boy will formally join the clan and inject his name into the genealogy.

Due to the high infant mortality rate in ancient times, there is a folk saying that "the wind blows for seven days and throws it away for eight days". When the baby girl breaks through this barrier, when she is one month old, she will have a big banquet to celebrate, commonly known as the full moon. Moreover, the mortality rate of baby boys is higher than that of baby girls, so when the survival rate of baby boys reaches one year old and greatly improves, large-scale celebrations will be held from the tenth day of the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival. On this day, a beautiful lantern will be hung in his ancestral hall, and a stone will be hung in the lantern, commonly known as "lantern egg". It means "Tian Ding" at home. After that, a banquet was held, and all the men in the village were invited to drink to congratulate him. His name was officially written into the family tree, and the boy officially became a member of the family.
