In the first month, also called "January", in order to commemorate the fifteenth day of this day, Chinese emperor is this day would be a "Lantern Festival".

“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。

又是一年元宵节，又是一次赏花灯。雾蒙蒙的天空上飘洒下了洁白的雪花，整个大地都变得圣凌洁白。街上的花灯顶端覆盖着一层薄薄的白雪，白雪衬托着红灯笼十分美丽。十字街口的彩灯旺火高高的矗立着，下面的红色栏杆紧紧的围着那高大的旺火。电线杆上的彩旗迎风招展，树上的彩灯一闪一闪，有蓝、有红、有黄、还有白，就像一颗颗耀眼的流星一般。

元宵节的习俗多彩多样。比如：猜灯谜。灯谜，是智慧的象征，南方有这样一个比赛规则：凡事猜对十道灯谜题的人，都能获得奖品。奖品是：一个红灯笼或是一盏孔明灯。还有扭秧歌的、踩高跷的、开彩车的，真是热闹非凡，美不胜收啊!放孔明灯的习俗大家也不陌生吧?火红的孔明灯承载着上千个人民的美好愿望，带着热情的火焰，升上了深蓝的天空。

The Lantern Festival is our traditional festival in China. The custom of the Lantern Festival mainly mainly eats dumplings.

This years Lantern Festival and our family is not the same as before. Before we go to the supermarket to buy, others are ready to go home as long as in the cooked can eat, but the feast is in is too boring. So, this years Lantern Festival, our own package dumplings.

I followed my grandma learn step by step. First prepared a pack of glutinous rice bowl. Pour into a large bowl or in a seven over ten of warm water, turn the face evenly. Surface prepared, the filling. This is made of black sesame paste, buy when filling this is a fast, need to use a knife cut a small piece of a small, not too small, not too big. To rub his piece by piece into a round shape.

Surface and fillings are ready, the package is about to begin. Choke a face down, start with dough knead into a flat cake shape, took a first in the middle, push the flank face up, gradually became a circle, then use hand to knead a pinch the uneven places, rub into a ball, then rolled up on a few laps, a rice dumpling is completed.

In this way, one after another the dumplings in my hand was born. The most important thing is that the pot boil. Put a pot of water to boil and then throw the dumplings into the water, cook until the rice dumpling upward drift, water bubble, "begin" is already cooked. Turn off the fire, put the dumplings out, can eat.

Eating dumplings, do your own heart and fruity.

元宵节是我们中国的传统节日。元宵节的习俗主要就以吃汤圆为主。

今年的元宵节我们家和以前过的不一样。以前，我们是去超市买别人已经做好了的，回家只要放在过了煮好了就可以吃了，可是那样过节是在是太没意思了。所以，今年的元宵节，我们自己包汤圆。

我跟着姥姥一步一步地学着。先把准备好的一包糯米倒入一个较大的碗或盆里，倒入十分之七的温水，把这个面调均匀后放好。面做好了，该弄馅了。这次是用黑芝麻馅的，买馅的时候这个是一大快，要先用刀切的一小块一小块的，不要太小，也不要太大。再把他一块一块的搓成圆形。

面和馅都做好了，就要开始包了。先从面团上掐一块面下来，捏成扁饼形，拿一粒先放在最中间，把旁边的面往上推，逐渐变成一个圆，再用手捏一捏不平的地方，搓成一个团，再在面上滚几圈，一个汤圆就完成了。

就这样，一个又一个的汤圆在我的手中诞生了。最重要的是下锅煮。先把锅里的水烧开，然后把汤圆扔进水里，煮到汤圆向上漂，水“咕嘟咕嘟”冒泡时，就是已经煮熟了。把火关了，把汤圆捞出来，就可以吃了。

吃着自己做的汤圆，心里也甜滋滋的。

Ushered in the annual "Lantern Festival". To celebrate "yuanxiao" fireworks are popular all over the country, yuanxiao is not exceptional also this year, dad bought me a $one hundred worth of fireworks, this can be more one hundred yuan to buy fireworks, there are two value of 25 yuan "all over the sky star," there are two boxes of "fluorescence line", there is a row of "bee", also have three packs of "small rocket", and...

The night of the Lantern Festival, the streets here, flowing, crowded packed; Smoke in the sky, colorful. Look at everyone with fireworks, I also cant wait to come up with a "baby", lit it fuses, soon see fireworks fly into the air blast scattered pieces of colorful flowers, cheering people around "wow! How nice!" At this time I feel very proud.

Then, more and more people, the more excited I picked up the "small rocket", only to hear "sou" with a straight at the clouds take, 1 of "boom" is falling down.

All of a sudden, a light "kongmin light" slowly up to you and the people around you are continuously suspected with the lamp, seems to be the heart pray: "kongmin light to illuminate my future way!"

That night, people gradually dispersed in the streets, and I also with my father and mother went home.

一年一度的“元宵节”又迎来了。为了庆祝“元宵”全国各地的人都流行放烟花，今年的元宵也不例外，爸爸给我买了一百元的烟花，这一百元买到的烟花可多了，其中有两个价值25元的“满天星”，还有两盒“荧光线”，还有一排“小蜜蜂”，也有三包“小火箭”，还有……

元宵节的夜晚，街道上人来人往，川流不息，拥挤得水泄不通;天空中烟雾弥漫，五彩缤纷。看着大家放烟花，我也迫不及待地拿出一个“满天星”，点着它的引线，很快看到烟花飞向空中炸开了一朵朵五颜六色的花朵散开了，周围的人不断欢呼“哇!好漂亮哦!”此时我感到非常自豪。

紧接着，人越来越多了，我更加兴奋得拿起了“小火箭”，只听见“嗖”的一声直冲云捎，“嘣”的一声就坠落下来。

突然，一盏“孔明灯”缓缓地向上飘去，周围的人都目不转睛的疑似着那盏灯，似乎内心都在祈祷：“孔明灯给我照亮前程吧!”

夜深了，街道上的人群渐渐地散开了，我也随着爸爸，妈妈回家了。

有关元宵节来历的说法多种多样，有3种说法流传较广。

元宵节来历传说一

宵节是汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设。相传吕后一系在吕后死后害怕大全旁落，密谋叛乱，宗室齐王刘囊联合开国老臣周勃一起平定了“诸吕之乱”。平乱之后，众臣拥立刘邦的第二个儿子刘恒登基，称汉文帝。文帝深感太平盛世来之不易，便把平息“诸吕之乱”的正月十五，定为与民同乐日，京城里家家张灯结彩，以示庆祝。从此，正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日--“闹元宵”。

元宵节来历传说二

元宵节又称“上元节”,是人们庆祝一年中第一次的月圆之夜。据道教的“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。元宵燃灯放烟火的习俗就是从这个说法来的。

元宵节来历传说三

元宵节起源于“火把节”,汉代民众在乡间田野持火把驱赶虫兽，希望减轻虫害，祈祷获得好收成。直到今天，中国西南一些地区的人们还在正月十五用芦柴或树枝做成火把，成群结队高举火把在田头或晒谷场跳舞。隋、唐、宋以来，更是盛极一时。参加歌舞者足达数万，从昏达旦，至晦而罢。当随着社会和时代的变迁，元宵节的风俗习惯早已有了较大的变化，但至今仍是中国民间传统节日，火把也逐渐变为了彩灯。

自唐朝中期以来，元宵节发展成为了我国全民性的狂欢节，因此元宵节是把传统节日习俗体现得最为彻底和典型的传统节日。

大部分地方元宵节习俗有吃元宵、观花灯、猜灯谜，还有擂鼓、舞龙、舞狮等活动，但南北各地风俗也有独特之处。

The fifteenth day of the lunar month every year, Chinas peoples traditional Lantern Festival. On this day each year, every family will hang lantern, fireworks, in the doorway of his coax wood-pile, let the men of his own house in the New Year, thriving, happy!

Speaking of dumplings, I most like to eat, I even thought, this is the worlds first gourmet.

Today, my mother came back from the store in the evening, brought us "three full ling tangyuan", snow-white tangyuan jumped out at me. It is made of glutinous rice powder, one is rolling rolling rolling, especially attractive, I really want to eat it.

Mother said: "Im going to cook dumplings. A little later, dumplings boiled, I smell the fragrance of a tangy, food made my mouth water.

每年的农历正月十五，是中国人民传统的元宵节。每年的这一天，家家户户都要挂彩灯，放烟火，在自家的门口哄旺火，让自己家里的人在新的一年里，红红火火，快快乐乐!

说起汤圆，我最喜欢吃了，我甚至觉得，这是人间第一极品。

今天，晚上妈妈从店里回来，给我们带了“三全凌汤圆”，雪白的汤圆就跳到我的眼帘。它是用糯米粉做的，一个个被搓得滚圆滚圆，特别惹人喜爱，我真想一口把它吃掉。

妈妈说：“我去煮汤圆”。不一会儿，汤圆开锅了，我就闻到一股扑鼻的香味，馋得我直流口水。快快先給我盛一碗，细看熟透的汤圆，晶莹透明，捎带褐色。裹在里面的猪油、芝麻、白糖隐约可见。我想象着;用小勺舀起一个汤圆放进嘴里，轻轻一咬，香喷喷、甜滋滋的馅就流出来了······

妈妈把盛好的汤圆端上桌，我欢呼着，迫不及待的拿着小勺在碗里挑了一个最大的，张嘴就咬。“哎呀，烫死我了!”我立刻放下手中的小勺，张大嘴巴，用手使劲的在嘴里扇着。爸爸妈妈看到了我的狼狈样，都忍不住笑了。妈妈舀起一个汤圆说：“还是我来示范一下吧!看，吃汤圆的时候应该先在上面咬一个小口，把馅儿吹凉一些，就可以大饱口福了!”“嗨，真是心急吃不了热汤圆啊!”说完，我按照妈妈传授的经验，细细的品尝起来。汤圆真甜，不仅甜在嘴里，更甜透了我的心······

我们美美的饱餐了一顿，似乎还意犹未尽。“三全凌汤圆”果然名不虚传。谁闻到味都想尝一尝。

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.
