The memorial activities during the Lantern Festival, also known as the Middle-Reaper Day or the鬼節 (Guǐjié) in Chinese, usually involve several customs. Here is an English translation of the main祭祀方式 (sìzhì fāngshì, "worship or祭祀 methods") or the ways to conduct these memorial ceremonies:

1. **Offering Food**: People prepare food and drink and place them on an altar for ancestors and spirits to honor them. Common offerings include fruit, vegetables, tea, alcohol, and dumplings.
2. **Fasting and Prayer**: It is traditional for family members to fast and engage in prayer to ask for the well-being of their deceased loved ones.
3. **Burning Joss Sticks**: Incense sticks are lit and left to burn to purify the air and create an aura of reverence and respect.
4. **Setting Lanterns**: Lanterns are lit and set adrift on water to guide spirits to their resting places, and to signify a path to the afterlife.
5. **Performing the Chanting of Ancestor Names**: Some people recite the names of their deceased ancestors to show respect and to ensure that they are remembered.
6. **Paying Respect to Land and River Gods**: Besides honoring ancestors, some people also pay their respects to gods of the land and river during this festival.
7. **Offering Paper Items**: It is customary to burn paper replicas of money, clothing, and other everyday items as gifts for the ancestors.
8. **Visiting Ancestors' Graves**: Many families clean their ancestors' graves, leave offerings, and pay their respects by visiting the gravesites.
These practices are part of a day set aside to remember those who have passed away and to keep them in good health or to help their spirits find peace.
