又到了正月十五，我国最热闹的节日之一元宵节，那一天我们一家过得其乐融融。

元宵节有个习俗就是吃汤圆，寓意着让每家团团圆圆，今晚奶奶“权力下放”，把煮汤圆的重要任务交给我来执行。我把它看成一件十分重大的任务，生怕煮破了，因此心里好像揣着一只小兔子“怦怦”直跳。我想起以前奶奶教我煮汤圆的经验：先将糯米粉用开水调和成皮，注意水不可以太多，多了会过稀;也不能过少，少了没粘性。然后取一块皮在手掌中搓成圆形，再用手指在上面按一个窝，把芝麻捣碎做馅，放在里面“包”好。放馅时一定不可以太贪心，否则会把皮的“肚子”给撑破的。终于包好后，可以下锅了。我又按照奶奶说的煮汤圆的四个诀窍：“开水下锅，慢水煮，点冷水，勤换水”于是便将自己辛辛苦苦做好的元宵放进水里。没多久，可以起锅了，掀开盖子，只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水上，彼此紧贴着，好像一粒粒大珍珠，看得我直流口水，将它们舀到碗里，闻着那香喷喷的味道，忍不住先咬了一口，真好吃啊，又香又糯。我刚把汤圆端上桌，大家就狼吞虎咽的吃开了。大家高兴地吃完了我煮的汤圆，“美食家”奶奶还给我打了一个九十五分，夸我长大了，懂事了。我兴奋不已，第一次煮汤圆就得到这么高的评价，我心里美滋滋的。

品尝着自己亲手做的汤圆，觉得特别好吃，心里特别开心。盼望着明年元宵节时再做更好吃的汤圆给大家品尝。

The Lantern Festival is a festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar year in the lunar calendar marking the last day of the lunar New Year celebration. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns .It officially ends the Chinese New Year celebrations.

It is not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival; which is sometimes also known as the "Lantern Festival" in locations such as Singapore and Malaysia.

In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones .

[citation needed] In modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in the shape of animals. The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting new ones, which they will let go of the next year. The lanterns are almost always red to symbolyze good

fortune.

In Hong Kong, it is commercialized as the Chinese equivalent of Valentines Day.

If you ask me what my favorite holiday is, I will not hesitate to tell you it is the Lantern Festival. I remember the Lantern Festival last year.

That day I was out of the house, and I was happy. Our family gathered together to make gnocchi. My mother has a good dumpling. The dumplings were white and round, and they looked delicious. How did the name tang yuan come from? My mother told me that it was round and soup, so it was called tangyuan.

At this moment, we can begin to eat dumplings, I like to eat bean paste filling of dumplings, taste sweet, sticky taste good. As soon as I ate, I ate a dozen. Tangyuan, like its name, is round and round. This is a fun day! After dinner, we went home. On the way home, I saw a group of kindergarten children, carrying only a variety of small lanterns, row tidy team in the parade, the lights of the small lantern, the light of the earth as the street was radiant.

The Lantern Festival is held on the 15th day of the first month. On the

Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is really over. On this day, people watch

lanterns, set off fireworks and eat yuanxiao or tangyuan. I like watching

lanterns and appreciating lanterns best on the Lantern Festival.

When I came to the street, I saw that the street lamps were full of

lanterns, 16 street lamps in a group, 8 on one side. We walked to the bridge,

and the lantern "door" was also set up on the bridge. There are four big

lanterns in the first row of the "door", which say "congratulations on the new

year"; 10 lanterns in Row 2; There are 16 in a row below; Until the penultimate

row, there are 10 more; There are also four in the last row, with four big

characters on it, which are "Happy New Year".

Look at the rest corridor of the small square in the center of the bridge.

There are 10 marble seats. There are 4 large lanterns above the marble seats,

and there are also 10 groups of large lanterns. On average, there are four large

lanterns on each small lattice and each marble seat, which are arc-shaped, and a

large lantern is hung on the side.

Well, lets go somewhere else!

Lantern Festival - on the Lantern

In the middle of the big square, I saw a big lantern, about 10 times that

of me. Nine small lanterns were hung on the big lantern. There is a unicorn in

the middle of the big lantern. The unicorn represents auspiciousness, and a

crane on both sides of the unicorn just guarded it. Next to the crane is a pair

of rabbits. The rabbit holds a gold ingot in his hand. On the side of the rabbit

is a pair of cranes. Behind the main body are some gifts, firecrackers,

couplets, Fu characters and so on. Actually, this is a float! Its theme is

"blessing from the jade rabbit".

正月十五元宵节是中国的传统节日，今年我度过了一个特殊而热闹的无宵夜。

说特殊，因为这是我第一次不在家过节。以前，每年正月十五，我们全家早早就准备好了去看花灯，每年，我都能欣赏到漂亮新颖、五彩缤纷的花灯，还会看到美丽迷人、五颜六色的焰火。听妈妈说，张掖的灯展比临泽更清亮，所以，我征得爸妈同意，到舅舅家过元宵。

舅舅早早就煮好了汤圆，圆圆的，从口甜到心，但我只吃了几个就缠着舅舅带我去观灯。

到了广场，啊，真是人山人海，四周挂满了大大小小、形态各异的花灯，让人目不暇接。有火红的金鱼灯，象征奥运的福娃灯，开屏的孔雀灯……今年是马年，马当然是主角了，有马闹春灯，牧童戏马灯，斗马灯，一排排闪亮的马灯祝福人们今年身体一马当先，事业一马当先，生活越来越好。

远处，一闪一闪的灯塔吸引了我，我们费了好大的劲才挤到前面，高高的灯塔上镶着漂亮的霓虹灯，红的，蓝的，黄的，绿的，五彩纷呈，耸立在广场中央，美丽极了。

过了一会，我们又来到了公园，这里也挂了许多灯，特别是闪烁在柳树丛中的，有可爱娃娃灯，美丽的孔雀灯，金灿灿的元宝灯，真叫人念念不忘啊。

这时，随着轰轰的声响，广场的天空一下子亮了起来，噢，原来是开始放焰火了，这可是我最期待的了，只见焰火像一朵朵漂亮的花在空中绽放，又缓缓消失，有的像美丽的流星一样划过天际，有的像天女散花一般，从远处的天空慢慢飘落，美丽极了。

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. This years Lantern

Festival, our school organized a unique "Happy Lantern Festival" activity!

Before the activity started, I came to the activity site of writing

couplets and waited. Look! The contestants smiled one by one. They all looked

confident. You and I exchanged the written content one by one. I calmly came to

the writing desk, took out the carefully prepared brush, drove light and

familiar to write seriously, and soon a few big words came out.

Then, I quickly joined the lively activity of wrapping dumplings. Kneading

noodles is the first and crucial step in making dumplings. Our group poured the

prepared flour into the basin, poured some water, kneaded a large dough with the

help of the students parents, and then distributed it equally to each member.

Everyone thought and thought. They added all kinds of juice to the dough. After

kneading, it became colorful and very beautiful. Just listen to "the dumpling

filling is coming..." everyone, you argue with me and start wrapping dumplings.

I first squeezed the dough in the palm of my hand and patted it into a cake

shape, then closed my palm slightly and added stuffing to it. At this time, I

accidentally threw sesame sugar all over the floor in a hurry. I regret it! It

took a lot of effort to make several dumplings. The students next to them are

not like this. They pinch the dough of appropriate size, gently flatten it and

add stuffing, then put their hands up, rub it, and gently knead it into small

and exquisite dumplings. It is a sharp contrast with my dumplings, which is

enviable.

When the glutinous rice balls are put into the pot, we wait nearby. Its

called a hurry. We cant wait to eat them directly from the pot! After a long

waiting period, the glutinous rice balls finally came out of the pot. With a

gentle bite, the soft skin immediately melted away in my mouth. The smell of

fruit juice and sesame came to my nostrils and turned into a wonderful force.

Once and again, it made me particularly satisfied and gave me endless

aftertaste.

At the end of the activity, the students gathered to take a group photo of

the class. Although I stood at the edge, I smiled brightly because I was

particularly happy today. This is this years Lantern Festival - a lively

Festival!

元宵节是我国传统节日，今年的元宵节，我们学校组织了一场别开生面的“欢乐闹元宵”活动!

活动还没开始，我便来到写对联的活动现场等待，瞧!选手们一个个面露笑容，都是一副胸有成竹的样子，你一句我一句交流着书写的内容。我不慌不忙地来到书写台前，拿出精心准备好的毛笔，驾轻熟路地认真书写起来，不一会儿端端正正的几个大字就出来了。

紧接着，我又快速加入到热闹非凡的包汤圆活动中。揉面是包汤圆的第一步，也非常关键的一步，我们小组把事先准备好的面粉倒入面盆里，倒入些水，在学生家长的帮助下，揉出了个大面团，而后等分的分配给每个成员。大家各思奇想，往面团里加了各色果汁，揉搓后成了五颜六色，十分好看。只听“汤圆馅来了……”，大家你争我抢地开始包汤圆。我先把面团捏在手掌心里，拍成饼状，再手掌微微合拢，往里面加馅，就在这时不小心手忙脚乱地把芝麻糖撒了一地，后悔极了!好不容易费了九牛二虎之力搓成了几个汤圆。旁边的同学可不这样，他们捏起大小合适的面团，轻轻压平后往里加馅，然后双手往上一顶，搓一搓，轻轻一揉就成一个个小巧玲珑的汤圆，和我的汤圆放在一起，简直就是鲜明的对比，令人好生羡慕。

当汤圆下锅时，我们在旁边等着，那叫一个急啊，恨不得直接从锅里捞上来就吃!在漫长的等待期后，汤圆终于出锅了，我轻轻一咬，柔嫩的外皮在嘴里立马化掉，果汁的味儿和芝麻的味儿扑鼻而来，化为一股奇妙的力量，一次一次让我格外满足，让我回味无穷。

活动结束时，同学们聚在一起拍班级合影，我虽然站在最边上的位置，但我笑得却很灿烂，因为我今天格外开心。这就是今年的元宵节——一个热闹的节日!

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!

元宵节到了，民间有三个习俗：一、吃元宵;二、看花灯;3、放烟花，今天我就在这儿说一说。

元宵有很多种口味：黑芝麻、蓝莓、巧克力等等，其中我最爱吃黑芝麻的了，外皮滑溜溜的(呵呵，听起来怎么那么像肥皂?)咬一口馅就出来了，不是那么甜得发腻，也没有那么淡。好吃!嘻……

我们也去看了花灯。刚入广场大门，可以看到两只高抬着头的凤凰，下面整齐地站着卖荧光棒的小贩，嘴里不停喊着：“走过路过别错过!”走到中间，看见一个大碗，釉色清晰明朗，真像明代的青花瓷!碗的下面还有还有“配餐”:大葱、辣椒、彩椒、西红柿。大碗的前面是一个小舞台，舞台后有八只张牙舞爪的长龙，威风凛凛。大碗的后面是三座冰雕，全是具有古典风格的房屋!大碗的左面是十二生肖有牛、虎、羊……咦?这是老鼠还是松鼠?

晚上，我们看了烟花。呵!从铁人广场一直排出两、三千米，这也验证了一个谜语：世界上最长的车是什么车?答：堵车。我不耐烦了，和妈咪下车看。烟花有红色、橙色、金黄色、绿色、紫色，那最好看的烟花也是最大的：砰，砰，砰，三个金黄色的烟花，形成了一个金黄色的树，漂亮极了。还有“黄金瀑布”、“变色花”……

今年，我们欢欢喜喜的闹了元宵节。

广场前面就是花灯展示区，五彩缤纷的花灯在夜色中闪耀着迷人的光彩。这次花灯不仅环保，而且五光十色，光彩夺目。我们发现今年的花灯响应了环保低碳，全部是用废物利用精心制作的。就拿“一帆风顺”来说吧，用了废报纸和旧绳子拼出一艘帆船，比喻今年顺顺利利，得到了人们的喜爱，所以得到了银奖。我最喜欢的花灯还是“蛇年平安”的花灯。它是一个苹果形状的网状灯笼，中间有一条蛇突出一个舌头，造型特别可爱。那个灯笼用的材料是竹子等环保材料，做得那么精美别致，创意无限。长大以后我一定要像做“蛇年平安”花灯的人一样，学会环保，用无限的想象力做一些环保的小制作，支持环境保护，做一个有道德有创意的文明人。

元宵节正月十五吃元宵的的习俗由来已久，元宵也叫“汤圆”、“圆子”。据说元宵象征合家团圆，吃元宵意味新的一年合家幸福、万事如意。

元宵节闹花灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

正月十五元宵节，整个城市都沉浸在欢天喜地的过节气氛中。

晚上吃过香喷喷的桂花汤圆后，我和爸爸妈妈一起去吴山广场赏花灯。一路上我看见马路两边都张灯结彩，连河坊街两侧挂满了红灯笼，其中有一家店的大门口和屋檐下挂的是竹灯笼，仿佛又回到了宋代。看着这些我想是不是宋代过元宵也要如此挂满灯笼?

不一会儿，来到了吴山广场。这里的人就像潮水一样涌进来。一进广场大门两侧都布置了各式各样的彩灯，走到里面我看见了六组大型彩灯，主题是“八匹骏马灯”象征着策马扬鞭飞腾之意。旁边几组彩灯有福娃、鲤鱼，鲤鱼象征着年年有鱼，而那福娃开心骑在马背上象征着马上有福。人群中有不少人挥舞着闪闪发亮的荧光棒，让整个广场散发着流光异彩。

The Lantern Festival originated from the western han dynasty. From han, hui emperor after the death of bossiness, hanshu usurp appointed a large number of lushi cronies, the eunuch in power. Emperors died, in 179 BC, the Chinese emperor reign, with help from old loyal subjects to seize the debate, on the fifteenth day, every swept away the lv remnants.

These poems depict the city lanterns fang, Lantern Festival night, music, song and dance sheng spectacle. In the qing dynasty, according to the Kyoto customs records: the taiping years every year, the Lantern Festival is in the qing dynasty: "JieWei lane, bead light star cloth hanging, her honey haired day", "prince guests, aspects of children, the whole stay, GuangDeng" means, so the Lantern Festival lamp lively scene.

“正月十五闹元宵”，每年春节过后的农历正月十五是我国的元宵节，又叫“灯节”和“上元节”，是中国自古以来就在民间流传的另一个已有2000多年历史的传统佳节。

元宵节起源于西汉王朝。相传汉惠帝死后飞扬跋扈的吕后篡权，任用了大量吕氏亲信，宦官当权。吕后死后，公元前179年，汉文帝在老忠臣协助下登基，博采众议，在正月十五这天，一举扫除了诸吕残余势力。因古代“夜”与“宵”同义。正月又叫“元月”，为了纪念正月十五这一天，汉文帝就将此日定为“元宵节”。从此，经隋至唐，到唐玄宗李隆基时，为显示大唐兴盛，国泰民安，逐沿用旧俗，每到“元宵节”这天，张灯结彩，欢庆狂欢，“一曲笙歌春如海，千门灯火夜似昼”，使这一节日更加兴盛。

节日期间，灯月交辉，游人如织，正如唐代诗人张说所描绘的：“花萼楼前雨露新，长安城里太平人。龙衔火树千灯焰，鸡踏莲花万岁春”。李商隐的诗曰：“月色灯光满帝城，香车宝辇溢通衢”，描绘了当时观灯时车水马龙的宏大场面。流传到宋代，在元宵之夜悬灯欢乐的规模更加盛况空前，花灯的装饰造型也更精美，灯节带给人们更多欢乐，更多光明。诗人苏东坡有诗云：“灯光家之有，笙歌处之楼”;大词人辛弃疾也曾有著名词作：“东风夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。风箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。”这些诗词描绘了当时元宵佳节满城花灯齐放，通宵达旦，歌舞笙乐的壮观场面。到了清代，据《京都风俗志》记载：清代太平年间每年元宵节都是：“通街委巷，灯光星布珠悬，皎如白昼”，“王孙贵客、士女儿童，倾城出游，谓之逛灯”，由此可见元宵节观灯的热闹场面。

到近代，这一习俗代代流传，至今仍经久不衰。老百姓家家户户都在门前和屋内悬挂彩灯、大红灯笼，全家团圆，围坐一起，观花赏灯吃元宵，象征着“团圆美满，丰收和睦”，同时这一天还标志着是春节欢乐的最后一幕，热热闹闹过完了“元宵节”，才算是真正过完了春节。

宋代诗人欧阳修诗曰：“去年元宵时，花市灯如昼。月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。”说明在这灯好月明人团圆的喜庆佳节里，亲朋好友相约团聚，早已是民间庆春节的重要习俗。如果在团聚时捧去一把鲜花，携带上一个花篮，让美丽娇艳的鲜花送来一个吉祥幸福的欢乐好运，会给朋友相聚增添无比欢乐的心情，这时应该选用寓意团团美美、如意祥瑞的花材，如火红的火鹤花、满枝悬挂形似红爆竹的炮仗花、鲜艳的孔雀草、象征明媚春天光明的银芽柳、闪烁洁白繁星的满天星等，都会展现出一片祥和安乐的氛围，为亲朋好友送去一年吉祥幸福的祝愿。
