At nightfall, under the leadership of the "headlamp", the searchlight team dressed in uniform clothing and holding the lamp holder wandered between the villages according to the established route, like a long "fire dragon". The villagers put on a colorful display of lights and prayed for a smooth wind and rain in the coming year, and a good harvest of grain.
