Floating Lanterns, China

I have tried to find out more about these lanterns...but I only find general info. In Chinese tradition lanterns are lit for different festivals (mid-autumn festival, chinese valentine's...) and can be let flying into the air or floating on a body of water...they are also called wish lights - you can see something written on these lanterns. If anyone could tell me anything more...:) Thank you Vickie :)
