中国有很多很多的传统节日，例如：端午节、中秋节、重阳节等等。元宵节是我最喜欢的节日，因为在那天，我能看见各种各样的花灯。

那么，元宵节为什么要赏花灯呢?这里面还流传着一个美丽的传说呢!

话说古时候某一年的正月十五，一个文人在皇宫的花园中散步。突然，他听见从走廊那边传来了哭泣的声音，便走过去看个究竟。

原来是一个宫女在椅子上哭泣。文人问她：“你为什么哭呀?”宫女说：“我叫元宵宫女，这几天过来，我想回家看一看父母。可是，皇宫中不同意宫女出宫。”听了这话，文人非常同情她，就为她想了一个好主意。

文人骑马出宫，来到大街上。他对人们说：“今晚，火神降临人间，你们都要在门上挂一个小灯笼，谁不挂，谁家就会发生火灾。”文人又给皇上写了一封信，信上面说，今天晚上皇宫中会发生大火灾。只有宫中所有人都出宫赏花灯，才能避免这个灾难。皇上看完信，立即下令皇宫的所有人在今晚都要出宫赏花灯。

从此，正有十五赏花灯便成为了中国的一种习俗，大家都把这一天称为“元宵节”。

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.

我国是世界文明古国之一，传统文化数不胜数，丰富多彩，但我还是喜欢我们家乡的花灯。

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.

On the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, just after the

Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is

ushered in. The Lantern Festival is also called "little first month", "Lantern

Festival" and so on.

The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients

called night "Xiao", so they called the fifteenth day of the first month the

Lantern Festival. The 15th of the first month is the night of the first full

moon of the year. It is also the night of the beginning of the year and the

return of spring. People celebrate it and celebrate the continuation of the new

year. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is also called "Shangyuan Festival".

According to Chinese folk tradition, in this bright moon hanging night,

people point out thousands of colored lights to celebrate. Go out to enjoy the

moon, set off lights and flames, like to guess lantern riddles, eat yuanxiao,

have a family reunion and celebrate the festival together.

I spent the Lantern Festival in my hometown this year. I not only saw

beautiful colored lights and colorful fireworks, but also saw dozens of colorful

floats and floats.

The crowd poured in, and my parents and I crowded past and saw floats

"passing" by me. All kinds of decorations make the car look like beautiful

girls.

Just then, there was a deafening sound in the sky. The crowd looked up at

the sky and saw fireworks "bloom" on our heads. I said to my mother, "Mom, look

how beautiful they laugh!" Mom looked at me and smiled.

"Its Lantern Festival!" Every tree put on new clothes. Whenever people

walk by the tree, the colored lights on the tree are like eyes staring at you.

Among the big trees, red lines were "led". On the red line, small lanterns hung

one by one. The small lanterns looked at the people and smiled red.

Then we went to the lantern riddle exhibition. A corridor was covered with

riddles. Everyone guessed. Im not idle either. I look around. "Oh, its so

difficult to guess! Oh, its also very difficult!" Its really a little hate

when books are used! I secretly complained about myself.

Back home, grandpa has cooked my favorite dumpling. "Grandpa, why do you

want to eat dumplings? Cant you eat dumplings?" Grandpa smiled and said to me,

"of course you cant eat dumplings. The custom of our Southerners is to eat

dumplings, which symbolizes reunion!" At this time, everyone gathered around,

you and me, laughing and enjoying the delicious dumplings. The room was full of

laughter.

This lantern festival also makes me understand that as long as the family

gets together, it is the happiest and happiest thing in my life!

每年农历的正月十五，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日——元宵节。元宵节又称为“小正月”、“元宵式灯节”等。

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，人们对此加以庆喜，也是庆贺新年的延续，所以元宵节又称为“上元节”。

按中国民间传统，在这皓月高悬的夜晚，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。

今年元宵节我在老家度过。我不仅看到了美丽的彩灯和五光十色的焰火，还看到了几十辆五颜六色的花车、彩车。

人群蜂涌而来，我和爸爸妈妈也挤了过去，看见一辆辆彩车从我的身边“走过”。各式各样的装饰品把车子打扮得漂漂亮亮，像一个个俊俏的姑娘。

正在这时，天上响起了一声声”震耳欲聋的声音。人群纷纷不约而同仰望着上空，看见焰火在我们头上“开花”，我对妈妈说：“妈，看它们笑得多美啊!”妈妈看着我，笑了。

“过元宵喽!”一棵棵树都穿上了新衣服。每当人们从树旁走过，大树上彩灯就像一个个眼睛一闪一闪地盯着你看。一棵棵大树间都“牵着”一条条红线，红线上挂着一个一个的小灯笼，小灯笼看着人们，笑红了脸。

接着我们还去看了灯谜展。一条走廊粘满了灯谜。大家都纷纷猜了起来。我也不闲着，到处看，“哎呀，这个怎么这么难猜呀!哎呀，这个也很难!”真是书到用时方恨少啊!我暗暗地埋怨着自已。

回到了家，爷爷已经煮好了我最爱吃的汤圆。“爷爷，为什么要吃汤圆呢?吃水饺不行吗?”爷爷笑着对我说：“当然不能吃水饺啦，我们南方人的习俗是吃汤圆，象征着团团圆圆!”这时大家都围了过来，你一碗我一碗，一边说笑，一边享受着美味的汤圆。屋里充满了笑声……。

这个元宵节，也让我明白了：只要家人团团圆圆在一起，那才是一生中最快乐、最幸福的事!

Lantern Festival, every family hanging lanterns, burning fireworks, firecrackers, is this why? I bring this problem to book to find the answer.

I took a try, to find the answer.

元宵节到了，家家户户挂灯笼、燃烟花、放鞭炮这是为什么呢?我带着这个问题，到书本中去找答案。

我花了九牛二虎之力，才找到了答案。原来，有一位猎人无意中打死了一只神鸟，天上的玉帝听到了这件事情，大发雷廷，打算在正月十四、十五、十六三天烧掉凡间所有的畜生。天上有一位善良的仙女，她听到了玉帝的话，马上来到凡间，把这件事告诉了人类，人类听了非常着急。这时，一位老人说：“我们在这三天家家户户挂满了灯笼，燃放烟花，手拿火把。”到了这几天玉帝看见人间火光冲天，就以为大火正在熊熊燃烧呢……

哦，我恍然大悟。原来这就是元宵节挂灯笼、放烟花的缘由啊!祖国的每一个传统文化里都藏着一个神奇的传说啊!我深深地又一次陶醉在祖国优秀的传统文化里。

明年元宵节，我一定要亲自挂上灯笼，燃放烟花，让我们家团团圆圆，红红火火过上一年又一年。

今天，是一年一度正月的元宵节。等到了晚上，我们一家人去公园去看烟花。我们到了公园，这里人山人海，热闹非凡。我们随着人流到了楼房上，打开窗户，眼望八方，不知从哪放起。就这样等着，盼着。

开始放烟花了，我心潮澎湃。首先，几颗明亮的火星一颗接着一颗冲上了灰暗的天空，刹那间，火星炸开了，变成了一朵朵五光十色的巨大的花蕊，又好似一位美丽的仙女，把希望的花瓣洒向了人间。有时候又像一团团金色的火光“毕剥毕剥”地炸开来。红的，黄的，蓝的，绿的，紫的各种各样的颜色把天空打扮得绚利多彩，特别是是紫色，那么耀眼，使人心旷神怡。炸完了，在场的观众一呼百应。

接着，还放了玉花门的烟花，千姿百态。令人滑稽的烟火像一条条活蹦乱跳的小鱼，又像一只只到处乱跑的老鼠从又粗又短的爆竹里蹿出来，飞来飞去，数量越来越多，千丝万缕。彩虹桥令人拍手叫好：两个爆竹，一个烟花飞向左边，另一个飞向右边，形成了一座五颜六色的彩虹桥，又似月牙。许多烟花令人赞叹不已。有的像许花环套在一起，有的像一把撑开的彩色雨伞，有的像彗星，还有的像长长的瀑布倾泻而下，又像下起了圆圆的小水珠，壮观极了。天空已是光辉灿烂，烟花更是光彩夺目，目不暇接。

不过最出众的还是“流星雨”，只见火苗一飞冲天，顷刻间在空中炸开，声音如雷贯耳，炸开的流星拖着细长的尾巴四散奔逃，又飘飘然燃地落了下来，拖去了小尾巴，瞧!尾巴们成了才展开带黄色的嫩叶的柳丝，随后升腾起一缕白烟，宛若春风袅袅，我的思绪飞到了“碧绿妆成一树高，万条垂下绿丝绦”的柳树群中。夜空像是一条包罗万象的锦缎，绣上了一个又一个五光十色的花卉，绚丽多彩……

烟火晚会结束了，我依然沉浸在那火树银花美丽的境界中，久久不能平静。我真希望今后的生活，也能象这烟花一样绚丽多彩

Happy New Year arent in the past, the Lantern Festival. I am excited and looking forward to its getting dark. In the evening, early supper, my father to accompany me to go to the lantern.

Enter a gate, I was impressed by a red lanterns. Lanterns are the four most beautiful women in ancient: Yang, wang zhaojun, sable chan and xi shi, the moving posture they make every person who watch the tut praise good. Move on, and I will think of a childrens song: "one boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no water to drink." See the three boys cry sigh, I couldnt help laughing. This story also tells us a truth, do look beyond their own private interests, pushed around the result is nothing. So, whatever we do, we are of others, to put a little generous.

Across the small stone bridge, I see a beautiful peacock in corner, saw it slowly unfold its beautiful feathers, a lot of tourists can not help a deep sigh of "wow" and "wow". To the other side of the river is two dragon boat, with a "leap" in the middle, two fish kept jumping before, and if really jumps the gantry. Go forward again, the scene is spectacular. Only nine shape with different color dragon churning the fly to the sky, a sign of the explosion of China. Our country will be prosperous day after day!

Have seen lanterns, we went home. Walk the road, I think: next years lantern certainly is better than this year!

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!

The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so its not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.

People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.

Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the horse-racing one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern.

The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

介绍元宵节风俗的英语作文

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar

pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

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。

元宵主要的活动就是看灯。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。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。

猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚，除了五颜六色的美花灯之外，还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放，而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会，当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时，人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。

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!

元宵节很想去看花灯，可是回家后发现爸妈的工作都没完成。

妈妈让我先写好作业，大部分作业在学校里就完成了，剩下的我一会儿就做好了。

可是爸妈还是没做完。为了等他们，我又看了一会儿书。

好不容易，爸妈的工作都做好了。妈妈说没来得及做饭，还是出去吃吧，等晚上回来在家里煮汤圆就是了。

可是我都饿了，去哪里吃饭呢?妈妈问我。后来我们又去了味千拉面。

虽然是团圆的日子，餐馆里的人也不少，点了餐还要等。我和妈妈先去旁边的书店转转。书店里没有人，我有点累，就坐在地上看了，妈妈说只要不到处爬就可以。

吃了饭，我们就往世纪广场走，但是很遗憾，那里没有花灯。爸爸说现在去豫园太晚了，我们只好往江边开，爸爸又开始在科技馆附近的路上辨不出方向了。我真有点儿累了，躺在妈妈的腿上，迷迷糊糊地睡着了。

过了好久好久，车停了，发动机的声音也没有了，妈妈叫我，我还以为到江边了呢，结果是已经回到家了。妈妈说，到江边的时候看我睡得那么好，不忍心叫醒我，就掉头开回来了。

连正大门口的灯都没有看到，我不高兴了好一阵子……后来大家吃了汤圆，节就这么过了。

希望明年的元宵节能去看花灯啊!
