在爆竹声中，迎来了我国的传统节日——元宵节。

元宵节，早晨起床当然应该吃一碗热气腾腾的汤圆。汤圆用黏黏的面团搓成，有大有小，有粉有白，放在锅里蒸上一会儿。煮好的汤圆，像一个个可爱的胖娃娃。咬一口，烫烫的黑芝麻像流水般滚入心脾，嘴巴里充满了浓浓的芝麻味，舌尖上留着那种甜蜜蜜的情思和味道，代表着一家和和睦睦的生活。

晚上，我到外边去玩，大街小巷都张灯结彩，最美的还要数护城河边了。护城河边灯光辉煌，人声鼎沸。我漫游在这灯的世界，细细观赏，栩栩如生的金鱼灯，形象逼真的莲花灯，古朴典雅的宫灯——各式各样的彩灯造型优美，装饰考究，做工精细，真让人眼花缭乱，美不胜收。在平静的河面上，映照出了灯的影子，好像河的底下也点着一盏似的。一阵微风拂过，河面上微波荡漾，灯的影子也跟着摇摇晃晃了。

“好!”一阵喝彩声吸引住了我，原来是不远处有人在猜灯谜。我也想过去猜猜，可无奈人太多，形成了一堵‘人’墙，把猜灯谜的舞台围得水泄不通。我站在‘人’墙外，听着里面传来的阵阵欢笑声。主持人开始说灯谜了：“一人一张嘴(猜一字)。”我心想：那是什么呢?我正想着，一位老爷爷举起了手，回答道：“是个‘合’字。”主持人笑眯眯地说：“恭喜您，答对了。”话音刚落，周围就响起了一阵雷鸣般的掌声。

元宵节，这个热闹非凡的节日，在人们的欢笑声中结束。

the 15—day celebration of chinese new year

the first day of the lunar new year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth。"many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them。

on the second day， the chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods。 they are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs。

the third and fourth days are for the sons—in—laws to pay respect to their parents—in—law。

the fifth day is called po woo。 on that day people stay home to welcome the god of wealth。 no one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck。

on the sixth to the 10th day， the chinese visit their relatives and friends freely。 they also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health。

the seventh day of the new year is the day for farmers to display their produce。 these farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion。 the seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings。 noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success。

Festival of Lanterns.I spent the Festival of Lanterns with my grandparents this year.

My family went to my grandparents‘ home and had dinner with them.We had lots of sweetdumplins.After the dinner, my grandparents and I went out to play fireworks.

We had a very good time together.

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.

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.

Tangyuan is made from glutinous rice flour. You can prepare glutinous rice flour in a bowl and slowly add hot water until they mix into dough. Then you can pinch off the dough and roll them into small balls.

汤圆是由糯米粉做成的。首先在碗内准备一些糯米粉，然后慢慢地加入热水，直到二者混为一个面团。将面团搓成长条并掰成一段一段，将每段揉搓成一个小圆球。

Then you can fill tangyuan with either sweet or savoury fillings. Sweet fillings are often made from peanut butter, black sesame seeds or red beans. But some people prefer the savoury fillings made from meat, mushroom and green vegetables.

然后就可在圆球内加入甜的或咸的馅料。甜的馅料通常由花生酱、黑芝麻或红豆制成。但也有人喜欢由肉、香菇和青菜做成的咸味馅料。

Then try to enwrap all the fillings into glutinous rice dough.

然后将所有的馅料包进一个个面团里。

You can make different forms for different fillings.

你可以针对不同的馅料包成不同的形状以便于区分。

Ready? Then you can drop these balls into boiling water and cook them for about 8 minutes until they float. Okay, Just enjoy them!

准备好了吗?那么将这些小圆球倒进开水里面吧，煮八分钟后，汤圆浮在锅里就熟了。然后，好好享受吧!

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。

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!

X month X day is a day of the first lunar month 15 Lantern Festival. This day every household to eat dumplings, guess lantern riddles, light firecrackers and lanterns to celebrate yuanxiao.

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。

元宵节是中国的传统节日之一，早在2000多年前在西汉就存在了，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形成民间盛大的节日。该节日经历了由宫廷到民间、由中原地区到全国各地的发展过程。

每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。 正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。元宵节又称为“上元节”。

按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵，合家团聚、同庆佳节，其乐融融。

新年的喜气还没过去，元宵节就到了。我怀着激动的心情，盼望着天快黑下来。晚上，早早地吃过晚饭，爸爸就陪我去看花灯。

一进大门，我就被眼前的一个大红灯笼给吸引住了。灯笼上有古代的四大美女：杨贵妃、王昭君、貂婵和西施，她们那动人的姿态使每位观赏的人啧啧赞好。继续向前，我便想起一首儿歌：“一个和尚挑水喝，两个和尚抬水喝，三个和尚没水喝。”看到那三个和尚哀声叹气的神情，我禁不住哈哈大笑。这个故事也告诉我们一个道理，做什么事光顾着自己的私人利益，推来推去结果只能是一无所获。所以说，我们无论做什么事都要为别人着想，放得大度一点儿。

我跨过小石桥，在转弯处看到一只美丽的孔雀，只见它慢慢地展开它美丽的羽毛，很多游人禁不住发出“哇”、“哇”的感叹声。河的对面是两只龙舟，中间夹着一处“鱼跃龙门”，两只鱼儿不停地跳跃前，好像真的跃过了龙门。再向前方走，那场面简直太壮观了。只见九条形状颜色各异的龙翻腾着向天空飞去，这象征着腾飞的中国。我们的国家将一天天地繁荣昌盛起来!

看过花灯，我们回家了。路上，我一边走一边想：明年的花灯一定比今年更美!
