元宵节（最新20篇）

正月十五的晚上，妈妈带我去看焰火晚会，在去俱乐部广场的路上，熙熙攘攘的人群把我和妈妈淹没。大路两边高高地挂起一串串的红灯笼，给节日增添喜庆的气氛。

广场上真是人山人海，主席台上锣鼓声阵阵，俱乐部正门上方是“开泰三羊留吉去，闹春灵猴送福来”的春联，正中挂着金猴托“福”。广场东半边是小朋友们表演的歌舞，西半边老年人正在扭秧歌，小朋友们的精彩表演赢得片片掌声，老爷爷老奶奶夸张幽默的动作逗得大家哈哈大笑……

我看得正入迷，忽然一道雪亮的瀑布从天而降，原先是广场上空倒挂的烟花被点燃，之后地上的火树也开出五彩夺目的花。半空中是“银河落九天”，地上是“火树银花不夜天”，真好比人间仙境一样！忽然不远处又传来“咚”的一声巨响，一个礼花腾空而起，然后在空中绽放开一大朵五颜六色的花，哇，真是太美！礼花弹一个接一个地飞上天，又在天空中变幻成各种形状：有的是杨柳垂下万丝绦，有的是蝴蝶振翅翩翩舞，更奇妙的是有的礼花弹在空中变出一串串红灯笼，然后随风飘飘悠悠飞向远方。

礼花在空中绽放，地上是欢乐的海洋，又是一个全家团圆的日子。然后我望着天空中又大又圆的月亮，想起我的爸爸却远在千里之外的大西北，为公司去开发新的市场。我明白还有许多的叔叔阿姨都坚守在自我的工作岗位上不能与家人团圆。我默默地祈祷：期望这些礼花能给爸爸捎去我的祝福，给那些叔叔阿姨带去亲人们的完美祝愿！

今天，爸爸、妈妈带着哥哥、姐姐、我与妹妹一起去看花灯。

“哇！好漂亮啊！”姐姐情不自禁的惊叹了一句。我们首先看到了与谐门，那悠扬舒缓的音乐让姐姐与妹妹不由自主地跳起舞来。

我喜欢“十二生肖”那组灯，瞧，龙在“嚓！嚓！嚓！”的打小钹，蛮有节奏的！猪用尽全身的力气“咚！咚！咚！”的抡着槌子敲大鼓……锣鼓喧天，笙箫齐鸣，十二生肖音乐会给元宵节带来了无限的欢乐！

我与姐姐都迫不及待的想知道最后面是什么，不看不知道，一看吓一跳。“啊！”我与姐姐异口同声地叫了一声。原来是威震四海的托塔李天王的塔矗立在前面。只见塔内缓慢的旋转着人民币的画面，我想大概就是恭喜人们发财吧。实在就是太随人愿了！

我们又赶到了爸爸、妈妈那里，这时他们正兴致勃勃地看着“空城计”呢！只见诸葛亮稳坐城头，不慌不忙地弹着琴，真的是一种处变不惊、沉着镇静的大将风范啊！

今晚真是五彩缤纷的花灯连成片，熙熙攘攘的人群汇成海，欢歌笑语形成潮啊！我们一家人也都沉浸在元宵节的欢乐中。

“太好了！猜灯谜啦！”今年的元宵节，我们不仅仅吃元宵，还要进行“家庭灯谜大挑战”，并按照猜出灯谜的数量来决定吃多少个元宵。我听到这项规则，便开心起来：我可是猜谜大王啊！和我交手，谁都要甘拜下风！

我和爸爸、妈妈一起把写好的灯谜放进纸灯笼里，猜谜便开始了。我从一个粉色灯笼里抽出一张纸条，上面写着“草上飞”三个字，我不急着猜谜，装出一副想不出来的样子：“想不出来呀，从草上飞过的东西多着呢，是什么啊！”我一边说着，一边偷瞄了一眼爸爸和妈妈，他们无动于衷，谁也不承认自己写了这个灯谜，甚至连一个洋洋自得的眼神都没有。我先想：哎，失策了。不过，不管了，只要猜出来就真相大白了！草上飞……可能不是从草上飞过去的东西，那会是什么呢？等等！“草上”难道是指“草字头”？这样想的话，“飞”意思是去掉，那“草”这个字，去掉“草字头”？对了！“早”字！

“我知道了！是‘早’字！”我兴奋地说。

“为什么呢？”妈妈不解地问。

我把原因耐心地讲解了一遍。

“没想到真被你猜出来了！”爸爸洋洋得意地说。

“原来是您出的这道题！”我大叫一声。

“好啦！猜谜还要继续呢！”

接下来，轮到妈妈猜了……

快乐的时光过得真快，比赛结束了。妈妈猜中了两个，爸爸猜中了五个，我猜中了十四个！于是，我们欢天喜地地去吃元宵了！

通过欢乐的比赛来感受传统文化，我真是太开心了！这个元宵节过得真幸福！

正月十五是元宵节，在元宵节那天，我们七年级举行了一场关于元宵节的活动。

首先，是介绍节日由来，台上的同学介绍节日时慷慨激昂，介绍完节日后就是背关于元宵节的古诗，同学们早已准备好了，于是便争先恐后地举起了手，希望自己能够被叫到。

背完古诗后，就到了同学们“大展身手”的时候了，走廊上是猜字谜活动，还有贴鼻子、正话反说、扔乒乓球游戏。

你看，猜字谜的同学手拿本子和笔，正在冥思苦想；扔乒乓球的游戏早已排满了人；我认为最有趣的就是贴鼻子的游戏了。这个游戏游戏规则很简单，蒙上眼睛，原地转三圈，只要贴到白色圆圈里面都可以拿到奖品，听上去很简单，可操作起来就很难了。你看，那位转完三圈的同学早已晕地不知东南西北，早已脱离了“轨道”；有的同学就比较厉害了，转完三圈后直直地往前走，似乎没有受到影响，但是他却把鼻子贴到了圈外边，可怜那只熊成了没有鼻子的熊……

关于元宵节活动的还有讲多趣事，我就不一一讲了，我相信如果亲眼看到那些事，一定会笑得直不起腰来。

元宵节是一个传统的节日，赏花灯、猜灯谜、看社火、吃元宵、看焰火真是有趣极了！我最喜欢社火表演了。

元宵节的早上，我早早得起来，和妈妈吃过早饭就一起来到社火表演要经过的路线。社火开始了，先是几个装饰很漂亮的花车向我们走来，其中一个车上还有一只大老虎的模型，活灵活现，那只老虎一边张嘴，一边眨眼睛，好玩极了！接下来是舞花环的队伍，他们每个人都穿着粉色的衣服，手拿花环，前走走，后倒倒，很好玩。后面还有好多幼儿园的小朋友，脸上抹的花花绿绿的。呵呵！好可爱！

社火表演我最喜欢看的是后缀子，他们都是男扮女装，故意打扮的古里古怪，还做一些怪样子，惹得大家哈哈大笑！看见大家笑，他们表演得更起劲了！一会还窜到人堆里呢！

今年的元宵节天气有些冷，还没看完我就冷得受不了了，就和妈妈一起回家了！希望明年的社火表演会更好看，更有趣！

The annual Lantern Festival arrived, and I came to my grandmas house with a

happy mood.

My grandmother had already prepared the lantern for me and my sister, and I

was a smiling piggy, with a lovely appearance and a little belly. Sisters is a

small dragonfly, its wings are like real, able to move back and forth. Before

dinner, grandma asked me and my sister to shine a lantern on the granary and

corner, and grandma said that the place would not be a worm in the four

seasons.

After dinner, we again outside fireworks, daddy is holding a big fireworks,

in the middle of the yard, a ignition, scratching, see flames, the fireworks

into a golden ball, flying in all directions, so beautiful, my sister and I the

excited jumped down.

How happy I was on the fifteenth day of the first month!

一年一度的元宵节到了，我怀着愉快的情绪来到奶奶家。

奶奶早已给我和姐姐准备好的灯笼，我的是一只笑眯眯的小猪，它的样貌十分可爱，还带着一个小肚兜。姐姐的是一只小蜻蜓，它的翅膀像真的一样，能够来回扇动。晚饭前，奶奶让我和姐姐用灯笼照一下粮仓和墙角等地方，奶奶说这样照过了的地方一年四季就不会生虫了。

晚饭过后，我们又到屋外放烟花，爸爸抱出一个很大的烟花，放在院子中间，一点火，噼里啪啦，只见火光冲天，烟花变成了一个个金黄色的小圆球，飞向四面八方，真漂亮，我和姐姐激动的又蹦又跳。

今年的正月十五我过得真快乐呀!

在我妈妈的老家，每年元宵节，都要舞龙灯。今年的元宵节，我就亲眼目睹了这欢乐热闹的场面。

天还灰蒙蒙的，人们就敲锣打鼓地去迎接龙头，当地人称它为“龙头爷爷”。龙灯中间的身体是人们做的板桥灯组成的。板桥灯是用一块很长的木板做成的，在一条木板上放着两个灯笼，灯笼中间有花做成的装饰品，非常漂亮。龙头请来的时候，人们就拿着香烛，挑着鸡鸭、猪头去祭拜它，祈求来年五谷丰登，一家人平安健康。我也在一边暗暗祈祷，希望我们全家永远幸福平安。

中午大家要吃灯饭。吃完灯饭，年轻的小伙子们就把板桥灯背起来，再一桥一桥地接起来，安上龙头、龙尾，拼成一条长长的龙灯。到了晚上八九点钟的时候，人们把龙灯上的蜡烛点着了，再把龙头一圈一圈地舞动起来。龙灯随着人们的舞动在夜空中划过一道道美丽的光彩，好看极了。围观的人们一边欣赏，一边喝彩，大家沉浸在元宵节祥和喜庆的节日气氛中。

吃汤圆喽!”外婆那浓浓的乡音为元宵节美满的开始吹响了号角。

外婆住在海滨的乡下，大平原上的天空特别的蓝，外婆所在的小村翠竹四季葱郁，门前的小河清流舒缓。我把这里看作我的乐园，每年除过年、中秋、清明，寒暑假，元宵节这天我也是一定要随爸爸、妈妈去外婆家的。

我喜爱那儿的食物。外婆做的汤圆有很多花样：芝麻的香甜可人，荠菜的入口即化，水果的酸甜沁人……口味层出不穷。餐桌上，大人们谈笑风生，而我则不断的舀着汤圆往嘴里送。等他们回过神来，碗已见着底，我溜出餐厅躲到一旁偷笑。

我喜欢那儿的火把。元宵节的傍晚，外公会用香点燃一根散发着松脂香味的木棒，然后举着这柄熊熊燃烧的火炬在田里晃上一圈，远远的看上去，就像太阳留在天际的余晖，迟迟不肯落下。外公说“这样可以把害虫烧死，来年庄稼就会大丰收。”我宁愿相信这把火真的会演化成为燎原之势，会遂了外公外婆和乡亲们的心。

我喜欢那儿的灯谜。这些年村子里富庶了，文化的气息也浓厚起来。当月亮枝头挂，星星随意闪，彩云任意飘时，大家来到公园广场，猜着妙趣横生的灯谜，赏着炫彩夺目的烟花，人们眼中闪烁着希望的光芒，共同沉醉在幸福之中。

我喜欢那儿的氛围。华灯初上，星星点灯，灯火通明。家家户户团聚在一起，看着精彩纷呈的电视，打着趣味无穷的扑克，嗑着瓜子，聊着天，一片和谐融洽的氛围，驱散了料峭的春寒，让人们从慵懒的冬天里走出来，走出一个五彩的新世界!

“元宵”，在我们这里既是一个节日，也是汤圆的代称，还象征了一家人团聚在一起，日子就像这圆硕的汤圆，团团圆圆，幸福圆满。我最喜欢外婆家的元宵节了!

一年一度的元宵节又来到了，元宵节又称上元佳节，是春节后迎来的又一个传统佳节。 The annual Lantern Festival has come again. The Lantern Festival is also known as the Yuanyuan Festival, which is another traditional festival ushered in after the Spring Festival.

元宵节早在2000多年前的西汉就有了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐构成民间盛大的节日。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，一向到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。

岁月不断流逝，但元宵节的很多民间习俗至今十分盛行。比如舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌、猜灯谜、放烟花等活动，给元宵节增添了光彩。

除了这些活动以外，元宵节还有包元宵的习俗。这天我有幸跟爸爸妈妈到外婆家，正巧碰到外婆在包元宵，我就跟外婆学了起来。外婆先用开水来和糯米粉，然后不断地用力揉面，一向揉的像橡皮泥一样有韧性，之后把面揉成宝塔的形状，从“宝塔”的顶儿上拽下一块块面团。

搓成圆团，中间掏个洞，两只手相配合把洞越揉越大，把准备好的豆沙馅，放在这个洞里，用大拇指和食指慢慢捏，之后把洞口封住，最后，把做好的元宵放在手心，两只手柔和地将元宵搓圆，这样一个元宵就做成了。看了外婆包元宵，我的手忍不住痒痒了，卷起袖子也包了起来。虽然我包的元宵馅子少、大小不一、奇形怪状，但还是得到了外婆的表扬。

最后一道工序就是煮元宵了，我们把元宵放在烧开的水里，不一会儿水滚开了，元宵一个个漂在水面上。看到这一个个白花花、圆滚滚的元宵真叫人眼馋!我们大家吃着这热腾腾的元宵，心里感到十分舒畅，我的脸上堆满了笑容乐呵呵地说：“元宵象征着我们的生活甜甜美美，团团圆圆。”

20xx年蛇年，今天是正月十五蛇年元宵节。吃汤圆，猜灯谜，看花灯自然少不了。

今年妈妈特意自己包的元宵，吃起来比超市卖的还好吃，我吃了两大碗，等我们全家都吃完元宵后，就一起高高兴兴的去看花灯了！刚走到路口，一支庞大的舞龙队伍也恰巧经过，舞龙的叔叔们精神抖擞，挺直了腰板，箭步如飞，好似一棵棵不老的青松，将那原本毫无生气的巨龙舞得活灵活现。

看玩舞龙后，我们就奔花灯去。瞧，十二声肖的大哥—老鼠正在骄傲地向大家问好；勤勤恳恳的老牛正在不服气为什么老鼠当老大呢；凶猛的老虎大吼了一声；吓得小兔躲到了一边；勇猛的巨龙正在云海里腾飞；而小蛇则在水里欢快地游；马儿正在一望无际的大草原上奔跑。

由于今年是蛇年，花灯肯定是少不了蛇的，今年花灯一共有六个蛇灯，最大的那个蛇灯足足有十几米那么长，踩着祥云想要飞翔，还有五个花样别出的蛇灯，还有蛇妈妈、蛇爸爸和蛇宝宝呢？真是太热闹了！

哈哈，蛇年的元宵节真是热闹。

很快，我们又迎来了一年一度的元宵节，元宵节是中国传统的节日，也是我最喜欢的节日。

在这一天，人们要吃汤圆，还要搞各种各样好玩的活动。比如：闹花灯、放烟花等等。其中最好玩的就是闹花灯了。今年元宵节，我们一家人在一起过的很开心。下面我就讲给大家听听吧。

中午时候，我们一起吃汤圆。妈妈包了各种各样的汤圆，我咬了一口，哇！这汤圆真好吃！我立即对妈妈说：“妈妈，这汤圆真好吃！”全家人都笑了。我想：这应该是妈妈对大家的祝福吧。祝愿我们一家团团圆圆、和和美美。围着桌子，幸福地吃着汤圆。

晚上，爸爸妈妈带我去“中源广场”看花灯。那里的花灯光彩夺目，场景热闹非凡、人山人海。花灯有小蛇形的、小猫形的、小狗形的……形态万千、惹人喜欢，。我一眼就看中了一个小蛇形的。也许因为我的生肖就是蛇的缘故吧。看完花灯，我拿着灯笼高高兴兴的回家了。

回家后，我又和妈妈去放烟花。我们放了降落伞、飞天炮等等。月亮渐渐落下，忙了一天的人们也该休息了。元宵节的活动到此结束。

度过了快乐的元宵节我开始期待明年元宵节的到来，同时我也希望中国的传统节日可以走向世界，让更多的人感受到中国传统节日的魅力。

今天是二十世纪的除夕，清早，推开窗户，我看到外面正下着鹅毛大雪，真是“瑞雪兆丰年”啊！早上，爸爸要上街，我让爸爸给我买点花和炮。中午，爸爸一回来，我就去翻他的包，见他的包里头不但有鞭炮，还有礼花。我对礼花尤其感兴趣，拿出来一看，爸爸买的礼花可真大，有二十来厘米高，十五厘米宽，是一个六棱柱的大礼花。我想，今天晚上可有好花看了。下午，我帮爸爸贴了对联，放了鞭炮。爸爸要带我们去老家过大年，我说：“把花带上吧！”爸爸说：“好。”

到了文峰爷爷家，吃了团圆饭，我嚷爷爷去放花，爷爷说：“还早。”我努着嘴，看看窗外，好像老天和我过不去似的。我就去和丹阳姐姐一起玩，过了一段时间，电视上春节晚会开始了，我一看，窗外的天早已黑了。我又去嚷爷爷，这一会爷爷可答应了。我就和丹阳姐姐喊着说：“放花了，放花了！”爷爷把我们带到老街口，丹阳姐姐把门口的十几个小朋友全叫来了。我们在雪地里蹦啊跳啊，雪好像给大地穿上了白棉袄，给房顶带上了白棉帽，给树木带上了白手套。这时候，爷爷把花放在街道中间，猫着身子小心翼翼去点花，小朋友们都捂着耳朵，一个一个靠得紧紧的。爷爷点燃了花，赶快跑到我们中间。紧接着，“砰”的一声，只见一个粉红色的花窜了上去，在天空炸开来，无数粉红色的火星划出美丽的曲线，落了下来，好像仙女把鲜花散向人间，地上的雪都被映成了粉红色。我们都拍着手，高兴地跳了起来。接着，又一颗蓝色的花射向空中，溅开来，好像洒落了流星雨似的。又有一个黄颜色的花，好像在空中盛开了一朵巨大的菊花，把我们都罩在里头了。接下来，一个又一个，还有各种花在我们头顶的上空绽放。小朋友们眼睛都看呆了，脖子都扭酸了，手都拍疼了，脚都跺麻了，就连爷爷这个“老顽童”，脸上都笑开了花。

放完了爸爸买的这个大花，我们还放了吊兰、小蜜蜂、小调皮、扇子花等许多小花，小朋友们别提多高兴了。地上厚厚的雪，空中飞舞的雪花都使我们感到十分暖和，好像这场雪要跟我们一起跨入新世纪了。

There was a sea of people, and the lanterns were gathered together like a meeting. Its hilarious. The lantern dazzled me. The lamp has big, small, color is different, the shape is strange. The most interesting thing is the golden pig lamp. Let me introduce you!

The golden pig lamp was made of several pieces of wire, and the body was made of a few golden sponges. A few smiles on her face. Really cute! It looks like running. The pig tail of the golden pig had a note on it, which said: happy Lantern Festival.

After watching the eye-catching golden pig lamp, go to the green light!

Two hands came out from below, beside the woods and meadows. There is also an o line "stream", "brook" water is really "clear see low" ah. You can think of it as a mirror! There are two bamboo rafts in the "stream" of the word "stream". I think they must be looking at the scenery! How is it? Its beautiful!

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!

Im so excited tonight. When you do your homework, you have to go to the light meeting. Mom had no choice but to take me. I went to the streets with great interest, and there were lanterns hanging in the sea. There are lanterns, rabbit lights, monkey lights, chicken lights, and lotus lanterns... They shine in the moonlight, and my eyes are dazzled. The streets were decorated with lights and decorated. By the way, there are not only all kinds of colorful lights, but also colorful neon lights.

Shopping arcade etc.service, brand stores to attract a lot of customers, the store down the street a wide variety of goods, uncle have to wear a suit, the aunt wear jewelry, and kids love to eat ice-sugar gourd and pearl milk tea. People came to the street in high spirits to watch the night scenes.

I seemed to enter the world of man and lamp.

今天是元宵节，是个愉快的节日，小朋友们在玩耍，真想一群顽皮的‘猴子’。我跑到厨房，看见爸妈正在做汤圆，就好奇的问：‘我的妈妈，为什么正月十五要吃汤圆？我的妈妈说：“吃汤圆代表一家人团团圆圆，和睦相处。”听了我的妈妈的解释后我才明白。那既然如此，我也来帮忙吧。经过我的再三请求下，我的妈妈终于答应。

我的妈妈说：“做汤圆要有耐心和细心，第一步是：先把一个面团揉圆。第二步是：把刚柔好的面团用大拇指按个洞，把馅儿倒进洞里。第三步是：把面团封口就完成了。”我试了一遍又一遍终于把第一个汤圆做好了。我的妈妈说：“不错不错。”听了我的妈妈的夸奖后我的心里像灌了蜜一样甜。

晚上，我的妈妈把做好的汤圆下锅了。过了十几分钟后，一锅香喷喷的汤圆出锅了。我看着汤圆那喜人的样子，开始狼吞虎咽的吃了起来，不一会就把一碗汤圆给“干掉了。”吃完饭后，我们一家人在门外看花灯；放烟花，高心极了。

元宵节是个令人愉快的节日，人们沉浸在节日的欢乐中。

元宵节，是春节之后的第一个重要的节日，正月十五吃元宵（也叫汤圆）是中国由来已久的习俗。另外，还有挂红灯、燃放烟火、猜谜语等很多习俗。

每年这天早晨，妈妈要给全家人煮红皮鸡蛋吃，寓意在于红红火火的意思。而元宵是用糯米做皮，里面包有核桃仁、花生仁、黑芝麻等，与加糖的豆沙馅和在一起，团成一个个小圆球下锅煮熟。亮晶晶的元宵，在滚烫的乳白色汤里，一看就有食欲，咬上一口，满嘴都是糯糯的香甜味道。元宵的形状是圆圆的，煮元宵的时候，元宵都漂在水上边，使人联想到天上的圆月，象征着家庭团团圆圆，甜甜蜜蜜的。

我们孩子们最感兴趣的是，在这天晚上，冒着凛冽的寒风，在高高的月亮下，都来到封冻的冰面上，燃起一堆堆木柴，风助火势，顿时烈焰腾腾。我们兴高采烈地围着“劈啪”作响的火堆，唱歌、跳舞、嬉笑呐喊，非闹得大汗淋漓，依然余兴未尽……据说，这个习俗是为了驱逐人身上的病魔。才延续到如今的。除此之外，有些地方还有祭祖、猜灯谜、赛龙舟等习俗。

总之，元宵节，即是民间的习俗，也是家人团圆的日子，更是我们喜笑颜开的日子。

桦甸市二道甸子镇中心小学六年二班：宫苒

元宵节又称上元节，这是因道教信奉三官神（天宫、地宫、人宫），以正月十五为天宫当令，称上元节，祈望天宫赐福。潮汕各地元宵风俗活动内容大都有吊花灯、游花灯、舞狮、猜灯谜、吃汤丸等。其主要内容在灯，故又称灯节。它有最浓厚的游乐色彩，故称闹元宵。

在潮汕的元宵节，是仅次于春节的隆重节日。旧俗的游神赛会都集中在元宵前后进行，活动时间长、项目多，民俗文化色彩更为浓烈。改革开放之后，各地政府倡导在这段时间开展各种健康的迎春文化活动和对内对外的联谊活动，使这个节日更具时代色彩和积极意义。

元宵游花灯，历来盛行。明嘉靖刻本潮剧《荔镜记》“睇灯”一折，就说“三街六巷好灯棚”。清嘉庆《澄海县志》引旧志云：“十一日夜起，各神庙街张灯、仕女游，放花爆，打秋千，歌声达旦。”又说：“今俗元夜，各祠庙张灯结彩，竞为鳌山，人物台榭如绘……竞赛花灯。”最盛名的当推潮州。清初潮州青龙庙兴起之后，每年游安济圣王一连三夜，花灯鼓乐，满城如醉。每次在第二个晚上，齐集北门箭道评比，年复一年，精益求精，使潮州花灯闻名海内外。潮州民歌有《百屏花灯歌》，可见潮州赛花灯之盛。

除大型游花灯盛会之外，家家户户都挂喜灯。自十三日起，到宗祠神庙去挂灯笼，十五日将灯提回挂于家门，称为兴灯。“灯”与“丁”同音。旧俗都想“人丁兴旺”，便于元宵节在灯（丁）上大做谐音取意的“兴灯（丁）”文章。现在的元宵赏灯，基本上已没有了这种内涵。在城镇和一些文明建设搞得好的农村，已经摒弃旧俗，代之而起的是各式各样的商业广告霓虹灯、机关团体的装饰性照明灯、公园和马路的满天星和孩子们玩赏性的装有干电池的各式提灯。各家各户多有彩灯，也有依传统挂上装有电灯泡的红灯笼的。各市县也举办大型花灯展，火树银花，五彩缤纷，旧瓶新酒，其乐融融。

今天是新学期开学的第一天，又恰好是元宵节，学校要举行猜灯谜和做元宵的活动。同学们都非常高兴，连空气里也洋溢着欢乐的气氛。

我随着人流来到学校的体育馆，一进去我就看见了许多五颜六色的灯笼，高高地挂在空中，漂亮极了。同学们有的在仰头观看，有的还在驻足思考，还有的已经跳起来摘灯谜了。我走过去随意挑了一个红灯笼，打开了纸一看，谜面是：像人又像狗，走路时像狗，又有人的手。我看了心里面暗暗高兴，因为我以前已经猜过这个题目。我不假思索地把灯谜纸条给摘了下来，准备去体育馆外面领奖。

我走到外面，把纸条给大队委的时候，我心里面暗暗祈祷：“对!对!一定要猜对啊!”果然，那个大队委说：“正确。”我心里面有说不出的高兴，想：“终于可以抽奖了。”我虽然只抽到一个学分，但我还是乐滋滋地跑回了教室。

猜灯谜之后，我们又回到教室里面来学做元宵。

三位热心的妈妈和一位奶奶已经做好了前期准备工作，陆奕帆同学的妈妈和陆老师负责教我们做。

陆妈妈先来给我们做演示。首先，她拿起一个面团子，放到手心里，用另一只手的手掌放到面团子上面，像转圆圈一样搓。好了!一眨眼她已经把元宵外形做出来了。接着，她用拇指在元宵中间按一个洞，再把元宵托在手心里，用中指、食指按住。突然，陆奕帆妈妈手里的元宵像风车一样转了起来，不一会儿，用来放豆沙馅的洞就捏好了。

这动作看似容易其实非常难，许多同学捏得不是奇形怪状就是粉身碎骨，不得不重头开始。我也是在陆老师帮助下才做出来的，最后，再把豆沙放进洞里去，可有些人因为刚才做的有些裂缝，面皮子不是扯断了就是撑破了。我慢慢地摸索出了诀窍，先把四周的皮拉一拉，再封口粘好，搓圆就完成了。

元宵被拿去煮了，许多同学都迫不及待地想吃了，老师看着我们的滑稽样，便给我们每人先分了点剩余的豆沙馅解解馋。元宵终于出锅了，许多同学口水流下三千尺，放下装豆沙的盆子，就狼吞虎咽地吃起元宵来。

不一会儿刘同学就叫道：“我吃完了，锅里还有吗?”其他人也在飞快地吃着，王同学一个还没吃完就急着把第二个塞进了嘴里，丁同学干脆就直接把一个元宵一口塞到嘴里。大家吃着自己做的元宵都觉得很幸福，个个脸上都露出了灿烂的笑容。

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.
