There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

正月十五吃元宵，在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆，实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

Eating Tangyuan is an important tradition for the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also know as yuanxiao, is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

吃汤圆是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“元宵”，是由糯米粉等做的球形食品，一般有馅料，煮熟带汤吃。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.

通常用黑芝麻做馅，但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好，吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以正月十五元宵必备。

Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.

正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。

Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.

从宋代开始，猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯，供人猜射。通常，谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。

The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.

舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样，每逢佳节，人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成，每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。

In the joy of the Lantern Festival, a tree, bamboo pole, beautiful lanterns are hung, far look like a beautiful flower, the modelling of each hand carry lanterns, in the darkness of the night, appear more bright beautiful, and huge lanterns, light up every dark corner.

Traffic on the road, everyone is permeated with a happy atmosphere, the side of the roads shouts and cries, let the streets become more lively. In this cold weather, people eat a bowl of bowl of warm dumplings, eating a chain of moments of squid balls, listening to the sweet songs and after night! But people still boiling, forgot the time.

Looked at the pairs of friends and partners together talking, then ask yourself the answer, my good friend! Where is she? Isnt forget time, or have a problem on the way, my heart try so hard, like a cat on hot bricks went around every corner, I couldnt find her, dont have time to listen to the beautiful lanterns. When I was about to give up, just saw, the front is not my friend? I quickly ran to the front of her, she handed me a cup of hot cocoa, and warm let me so moved, cold hand, and warm up.

在欢乐的元宵节中，树上、竹竿上，都挂着漂亮的花灯，远看彷彿是一朵朵美丽动人的花，每人手上提的造型花灯，在黑暗的晚上中，显得更加亮丽，而巨大的花灯，照亮了每个阴暗的角落。

路上车水马龙，每个人都洋溢着快乐的气氛，路边的吆喝声、叫卖声，让街道上变得更加热闹。在这寒冷的天气里，有人吃着一碗碗温热的汤圆、有人吃着一串串的花枝丸，听着一首首悦耳动听的歌曲，夜深了!可是人潮依旧沸腾，彷彿忘记了时间。

望着那一对一对的朋友及伴侣走在一起谈笑，便自问自答，我的好朋友呢!她在哪?是不是忘记时间，还是在路上遇到问题，我的心如热锅上的蚂蚁一样的着急，我跑遍了每个角落，就是找不到她，也没时间理会那漂亮的花灯。当我正要放弃时，才看见，前面不就是我的朋友吗?我飞快的跑到她面前，她递给我一杯温暖的热可可，让我感动不已，冰冷的手，也温暖了起来。

今天是一年一度的元宵节。一说起元宵节大家一定会说起看花灯。这花灯可真是应有尽有，有孔雀灯、大红橘灯、走马灯、天女散花、嫦娥奔月......

元宵节这天，我们一家人在市民广场上!逛着，心里不由得想：这是在遨游天空，还是在梦游仙境?我真不敢相信这是元宵之夜的街市游逛。我在来来往往的人流中穿来挤去，来到最热闹的地方，我站在一个比较高的石台上放眼四望，看见了那典雅的孔雀灯，象征着吉庆的大红橘灯，镶有玻璃镜的走马灯，还有精巧的“天女散花”、“嫦娥奔月”、“武夷风光”......一切都在灯火中放射这绚丽光彩，真让人目不暇接，眼花缭乱。

可是只有灯火实在太单调了!不过，市民广场给人们准备了许多表演，有：舞龙、太极拳，等等。尤其是舞龙最好看。一个生机勃勃的龙头被老爷爷耍得活灵活现。有时候，老爷爷们还把龙头转了几圈。只见出来的是两条巨大的龙，一条是黄色的，另一条是蓝色的，非常漂亮。两条龙在空中吞云吐雾、上下翻腾，不时摆出一个个精彩的造型，引来观众一阵阵热烈的掌声。后来又出来一条金色的龙，它披着金色的外衣，在月亮地照耀下金光闪闪，显得十分壮观。

月亮渐渐西落我依依不舍地离开。但观灯的人还是络绎不绝，各种彩色的灯像天上的繁星一样，大放光彩。真是“一夜花灯醉，只缘春意浓。”

The south of the square is a curtain of blue, so the light "waterfall" waterfall, inlaid with a few red big word: "I wish the original peoples happy life" lights flash, falls as if to flow, I cant help but the superb artistry of gasp in admiration for the designers.

All of a sudden, listen to "bang" sound, I looked inside, see a beam of light into the sky, and then opened the colorful fireworks.

Fireworks over, I rubbed his acid trapped neck and mom returned home reluctantly and sick at this how happy Lantern Festival!

元宵节晚上，我和妈妈去最繁华的街心广场赏灯。

一出门，只见街上人头攒动，许多商店的门口都燃起了熊熊的旺火。人们都围在旺火旁一边暖着手，一边谈论着。马路两旁的树上都挂上一漂亮的彩灯，一盏盏小灯如星星般一闪一闪，我仿佛进入了童话的世界。每家商场的灯笼也是各式各样，有长的，有圆的，还有自动旋转的。这一切都组成了一个喜庆祥和的元宵之夜。

我们到了广场，广场上简直是人山人海，广场的北面搭起了一个气势雄伟的宫殿式彩门，彩门上画着各色图案的龙，还有许多欢蹦乱跳的兔子，在灯光的辉映下，它们一个个形态各异，栩栩如生。广场的南面是一帘由蓝色的串串灯组成的“瀑布”瀑布上面镶嵌着几个红色的大字：“祝原平人民幸福安康”灯光一闪一闪的，瀑布仿佛地流动，我不禁为设计者的高超技艺叹服。

突然，只听“砰”的一声，我循声望去，只见一束火光冲向天空，继而绽开了五颜六色的礼花。这一朵礼花如号令般将所有的烟火都引燃了，整个天空顿时变成了又一个灿烂的舞台，五光十色，形态各异，刚看清楚这一个，另一个又升起来了，令人眼花缭乱。轰隆声不绝于耳，仿佛是千军万马在混战，在人们情不自禁的惊叹声中，元宵之夜的大舞台推向了高潮!

烟火完了，我揉了揉酸困的脖子和妈妈依依不舍地回到家中，这个元宵节多么快乐啊!
