今天是正月十五——元宵节，我在傍晚看见天上的月亮很圆，像一个白玉盘。妈妈说：“元宵节是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，元宵节又称上元节。”

晚上，我们早早的吃了糯米、豆沙制成的宁波汤圆。我还知道一些关于汤圆的知识，汤圆圆圆的，甜甜的，代表我们一家团团圆圆，甜甜蜜蜜的生活。汤圆又叫浮圆子，还叫汤团，也称为元宵。

吃了完宵，我们一家去看花灯，花灯五光十色。大街上张灯结彩，人山人海，车水马龙，可以说是灯的海洋，光的世界。中山广场有许许多多的树灯，让我想起了几句诗：“火树银花合，星桥铁锁开。灯树千光照，明月逐人来。”走近点，那灯就像金银财宝一样，闪闪发光。

元宵节的晚上，民心一片欢腾。沿着市民广场回家，我看见了龙灯、鲤鱼灯、大红宫灯、状元灯、八仙过海等数不胜数的花灯，心里非常欢畅。

祝大家元宵节闹的开心，闹的红红火火。

Because the ancient "night" and "night" synonymous. 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". From then on, the sui and tang, to the tang dynasty lung-chi lee, to show the datang prosperous, peaceful country and safe people, by using the ancient customs, every day "Lantern Festival", decorating and celebrating carnival, "a song and spring like the sea, thousand door light night like day", make the holiday more flourish.

“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。

我们一进门就看见了灯火辉煌的彩灯，有飞马灯，还有龙灯呢!妈妈说：“今年是马年，所以马就非常多，别看这些有意思，好看的还在后面呢!”一路上五彩缤纷，有白白的大象灯，我说：“这大象可真大呀!”还有一个好大的灯笼，它得上面闪着彩色的灯，大灯笼的旁边，还有几个小灯笼，看起来壮观极了。我们走到看水幕电影的地方，那有一个塔叫“紫云阁”，我们爬到了紫云阁的顶端，看着大唐芙蓉园里美丽的景色尽收眼底，漂亮极了!我们不准备看水幕电影，因为我们已经看过了，我们沿着湖走，走到了水幕电影的对面，那有许多飞马灯，还有一条巨龙，我说：“这不就是万马奔腾，应该是龙马精神了。”还有许多有趣的灯笼，最好玩的灯笼就是光头强、熊二、和熊大的，它们正在踢足球，我想：“光头强应该是和熊兄弟们在比赛踢足球嘞!”很好玩吧?

我看完灯展后，心里很开心，元宵节过完，我们也快要收假了，马上就要见到老师和同学们了，我好开心呀!

一年一度的元宵节终于到了，每到这一天家家户户门前都挂着红灯笼，而且吃饭之前还要放鞭炮，当然，晚饭也和以前不一样，要吃元宵。

大约五六点了，“怎没还不开饭呀。”在一旁的我说道。这时，爸爸说到楼下放鞭炮去，我便去看一看。爸爸把鞭炮挂到树枝上，拿起了打火机。“噼里啪啦”，鞭炮声响了起来。“开饭了，开饭了。”妈妈喊道。我端起了一碗元宵，品尝了一个，那种香喷喷的气味让我回味无穷。吃完元宵后，我便来到了厉山公园去看烟花，来到现场，还没有开始，我们又等了一会儿，烟花终于开始放了，因为离得太远了，看不清楚，我也挤进了人群之中，忽然，一位小孩子说了一个字，看。我仰起头来，只见天空中有很多一闪一闪的星星，噢，不对，星星哪有那么多颜色，这是烟花，大约五六秒过去了，颗颗流星般的烟花落了下来。哇，真是太逼真了。再看看大街上，真是好不热闹，车水马龙。

十点了，我也该回家了，但看着耀眼的烟花，还是不忍心走，又过去了五六分钟，我才依依不舍得离开了厉山公园。

正月十五，正是元宵佳节。天上那闪烁的孔明灯。美丽的烟花，地上那欢乐的儿童，满怀笑脸的大人们，都让人萌生一种节日的喜庆气氛……

大街上人山人海，传来一阵阵甜甜的笑声，我看到漆黑的天空，有着闪烁的会飘动的“星星”，原来是那是人们放的孔明灯。望着它，从地上一点点的升上天空，好像很想快点的投入到天空中的怀抱里。“真想买个孔明灯哟。”我心里想，并争取妈妈的意见，妈妈同意了。於是我去买了一盏。

到了天台，我急忙把孔明灯展开。有一个说法：“在孔明灯上写上自己的愿望，会美梦成真的。”我赶紧拿起笔甜甜美美的写上了自己的愿望，找来了哥哥，帮我点上蜡烛，刚刚点亮就飘上去了。放之前还是大的，可到了天空中却一点点变小了。

孔明灯飞走了，寄托着我的愿望，渐渐的消失在天空中……

元宵佳节可真好啊!大街上，小巷里大家聊着，可真是热热闹闹的。真想下一个元宵佳节快快来到，那该有多好啊!
