元宵节是我国的四大节日之一，元宵节一过，春节也就算过完了，所以这一天是非常隆重和热闹的。以前，人们主要是看花灯与舞龙，现在燃放烟花，人们观看烟花也就成为庆祝节日的方式之一了。

晚上七点多一点，我就着急地叫爸爸妈妈带我上工人体育馆去，听说那八点整要放烟花的。走在街上，看到路上有很多与我一样想看烟花的人，大家老老小小一家人，显得十分的高兴。人真是多呀，挤得水泄不通。

八点钟到了，只听见几声沉闷的声音，一个个烟花带着红红的火星窜上了天空，几声脆响，夜空绽放出几朵美丽的花朵。它们的形状和颜色各不相同，有五颜六色的满天星，金黄色的蒲公英，紫色的牵牛花，火红的玫瑰花，粉红的月季、银色的百合……，绚丽多彩。

随着一声声的炮响，人们在惊呼，在赞叹，夜色中，人们微微扬起的脸上也变幻着多姿的色彩，也露出了幸福的笑容，他们不也像一朵朵美丽的烟花吗!

生活是多么的美好呀!

X月X日这天是农历正月十五元宵节。这天家家户户要吃汤团、猜灯谜、放炮竹、赏花灯来庆祝元宵。

这天，爸爸教我包汤团。我们先把手洗干净，拿出一只碗。开始和面了，只见爸爸在碗里倒上大半的糯米粉，将少许水一点一点放进去，再用手绞了几下又放了点水。爸爸告诉我：注意每次放得水不能太多，少了可以再加，太多了会粘手。水够了，我和爸爸各分一半，我们用手来回的揉，直到不再粘手了，揉面的工序完成了。

开始包汤团了，我照着爸爸的样子，拿了一小团面，放在手掌中间挫一个小圆球，然后把右手的大拇指把插进刚揉好的面团，用筷子夹点芝麻馅放在刚弄的洞里，用四个手指配合大拇指一起往中间按，揉一揉又变成了圆形。我要把这个“半成品”放到碟子上面去时，爸爸叫住了我说：“儿子，这样放上去可能会粘的，在糯米粉里滚一滚就不粘了。”我照着爸爸的方法一试果然不粘了。照这样一连做了好几个，不一会二十个就完成了，个个洁白如玉，让人嘴馋。

晚上，我和爸爸到外面散步，此时的大街上灯火通明，四周挂满了火红的灯笼。天空闪耀着五彩的礼花，有的礼花在天空中像满天的星星一闪闪，有的似流星雨，一瞬间就消失在天际中。地上百子炮噼里啪啦的响个不停。小孩子手持烟花棒飞舞着，欢笑着。

我爱包汤团，但我更爱元宵节。

Spring Festival in recent years the state advocates civilization, advocating less people set off firecrackers and fireworks, less so now, the Spring Festival, the lantern in a noisy degree than before, but even so, when the Lantern Festival is still a lively scene.

元宵灯节，是中国传统的节日之一，也是孩童们最喜欢的节日之一。

仍记得小时候的烟花多种多样，有钻天坠，有小蜜蜂，有满天星，有……每到十五，漆黑的夜晚总是亮如白昼，被各色的烟花装点着，照映着。最近几年国家提倡文明春节，提倡人们少放鞭炮，少放烟花，所以现在春节、元宵的热闹程度大不如以前，然而即使如此，元宵灯节时仍是一片热闹场面。

过了十好几年的元宵节，放了十好几年的烟花，然而只有今年最让我记忆深刻。

以前元宵节是在自己家中度过，唯有晚饭后方才被允许跑到大街上与小伙伴们一起。然而今年却是在舅舅家度过。而正因为如此，今年的元宵节才让我如此难忘。

嫂子前年九月份刚添了个小孩儿，今年已一岁半了，正是无忧无虑，活泼好动的时候，所以场面格外的热闹。我们先是吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，然后欣赏了美丽的烟花并放飞了孔明灯，接下来就是观看我一岁半的小侄子的表演。

他也很会和我们这些‘观众’互动，偶尔拉上我十三岁的弟弟和他一起跳舞，或是跑到我们身边给我们来个飞吻，当我们要去抱他时却又迅速跑开了。

房间内的笑声不断，窗外的烟花也绚烂夺目。房内的笑声穿过窗户，越过正盛开的烟花，向着远方飞去……

The annual Lantern Festival will come. I will introduce the history of the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival on January 15th lunar. Also called the Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival. Legend, the Chinese emperor (179-157) before the former to celebrate bo zhou on the fifteenth day of the first to determine the lv ping, on this night, will be out of the palace, and the citizen, in ancient times, night night, in the first month on January, also called Chinese emperor is declared the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the night is called yuanxiao.

Eating "tangyuan" is the Lantern Festival is an important custom. Dumplings, also known as "dumpling", "yuanxiao". The custom of eating dumplings began in the song dynasty, businessman, glorified: "wing". Early Song Yuanyuan, tangyuan has become the treats of the Lantern Festival, so people call it "yuanxiao" again. Today, the north called yuanxiao, the south called dumplings.

In a word, the Lantern Festival must be very busy today.

一年一度的元宵节又要来到了。我就介绍介绍这个元宵节的历史吧。

元宵节农历正月十五。又称上元节、元夜、灯节。相传，汉文帝(前179—前157年)为庆祝周勃于正月十五勘平诸吕之乱，每逢此夜，必出宫游玩，与民同乐，在古代，夜同宵，正月又称元月，汉文帝就将正月十五定为元宵节，这一夜就叫元宵。

吃“汤圆”是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“汤团”、“元宵”。吃汤圆的风俗始于宋代，生意人则美其名日：“元宝”。宋元元初时，汤圆已成为元宵节的应节食品，所以人们又称它为“元宵”。如今，北方叫元宵，南方称汤圆。元宵依馅论，分有馅和无馅两种，有馅元宵又有咸、甜、荤、素之分。

猜灯谜是元宵节的项目之一。中国最大的一次灯谜盛会是1979年在南京举行的“九城市灯谜会猜”，设有灯谜上万条，3天里参加的人次达两万多人。

还有好多好多的节目呢，说都说不过来了。

We "crawling" slowly, in the crowd for a while in the United States, only beautiful shape, manufacture fine lantern appeared in front of my eyes. My parents and I went into it, a variety of lanterns are painted on the "water margin", a dream of red mansions, romance of The Three Kingdoms, all of the story "journey to the west". And make me the deepest impression is notable.

Lifelike, vivid, let a person see the admiration. Lights on the two generous male, two people sitting in the restaurant - the legs, hands holding a glass.

Then, I saw my favorite link - guess lantern riddles. I opened the paper bag out lantern riddle topic: adding water into the oceans it into vegetation of flowers. I touched his chin, frowning, chanting in the heart "into a sea of water, it become a grass flowers?" Is it "yes"? Not ah! Gal. Some water is not a word! I thought for a moment.

This is really a magic, they rhyme!

In these festival, one of my favorite festival is the Lantern Festival, because this holiday only lifelike lanterns and people are thinking of lantern riddle.

元宵上市，春节的又一个高潮到了。正月十五到处张灯结彩，整条大街像是办喜事，红火而热闹，热闹而美丽。有名的铺子都挂出几百盏形状各异、大大小小的灯来。有走马灯、圆角灯、莲花灯、大红灯笼……就在那天里，我和爸爸妈妈去逛了灯会。

一进街道，就看见了拥挤的人海;闻到了美味佳肴的香味;听见了喧闹的嘈杂声。我们在人群中慢慢地“蠕动”着，美国一会，一只只外形美观，制造精细的灯笼出现在我的眼前。我和爸爸妈妈走进前去，各色各样的花灯上都彩绘着《水浒传》、《红楼梦》、《三国演义》、《西游记》的所有故事。而令我印象最深的是—走马灯。

一只只马形灯放在一起似乎是万马奔腾十分壮观。走马灯是用印红的纸折出来的。马的前蹄上扬，马头向上，马尾垂下，像是真的一样。栩栩如生，形态逼真，让人看了赞叹不已。灯上映着两位豪爽之雄，两人坐在酒家中盘着腿，双手举着酒杯痛饮。

接着，我便看到了我最爱的环节—猜灯谜。我打开纸袋拿出了灯谜的题目：加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香。我摸着下巴，皱着眉头，心里念叨着“加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香是什么呢?”难道是“对”?不是呀!加三点水就不是字了呀!我思索片刻。突然灵光一闪，脑海中出现了一个“每”字，哦对了。“每”加上三点水就是“海”，加上“木”就是“梅”啊!我怎么没想到呢!我大声地报出答案。这题真是出神入化，暗藏玄机啊!

在这些节日中，我最喜欢的节日是元宵节，因为这个节日有一只只惟妙惟肖的灯笼和耐人思考的灯谜。

The chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced.

Several explanations are hanging around.

All agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, wasoriginally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared.

One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian.

To nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it didswallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

Lantern Festival is the first full moon day in a year, it is a symbol of reunion, harmonious and beautiful. But there are some people away from their hometown and relatives, such as soldiers, they for the peace of the country, quietly hold on his post.

元宵节是一年中第一个月圆的日子，它象征着团团圆圆，和睦美好。可还有一些人却远离自己的家乡、亲人，如武警战士，他们为了国家的安宁，默默地坚守在自己的岗位上。

为了给远离家乡的武警叔叔们送去欢乐与祝福，元宵节这天，我校“童鹰”小交警社团组织我们与武警叔叔们一起欢度节日。我们先在社区工作人员的带领下，来到了活动现场。一到制作台前，我们就迫不及待地洗干净手一边学阿姨婆婆的样子搓起了元宵，一边怀着兴奋的心情等待着武警叔叔们的到来。“来了来了!”不知是谁喊了一声，只见武警叔叔们迈着整齐的步伐向我们走来。一进门，他们就把军帽整齐地排在桌子上，然后和我们一起热热闹闹地搓起了元宵。不一会儿，一个个圆溜溜的元宵就搓成了。

“烧好咯，烧好咯!”随着社区婆婆的叫声，一碗碗热气腾腾的元宵摆在了我们面前，我们赶忙把元宵端到了武警叔叔手上，他们互相谦让着……看着叔叔们开心的笑脸，吃着自己亲手做的元宵，我们的心里满是自豪。

时间像飞箭过得真快。武警叔叔们要回部队了，我们赶紧站成一排，大声地说：“武警叔叔再见，元宵节快乐，后会有期!”大家听了全笑了。

这真是一个令人难忘的元宵节啊!

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。

“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。
