Through the bustling trail, we came to the sparkling lake. We waited
anxiously and patiently. As time passed, more and more people were crowded. The
crowd could not see the head from the West and the tail from the north. There
were a sea of people. Some sat on stone chairs, some bent over, some leaned
forward and backward, and some stood on tiptoe. There are white haired
grandfathers, young people with clear eyebrows and embroidered eyes, and
children of four or five years old.
After a long time, just listen to the bang, strange flowers appear in the
sky, and the exciting fireworks party begins! People were suddenly silent. Then,
the sky appeared colorful, scrambling, from yellow to purple, from red to blue,

their homes! Some of the wonderful flowers in the sky are green grass, some are
peach red and plum white. It is graceful and beautiful, as if it smells
fragrant.

realistic. After a while, the orchids turned into red lanterns, slowly down and
straight into the water. White snakes soar into the sky, and the "s" walking
method is attractive. Small boats shot out of the lake and stood gracefully on
the lake, as if warships were coming to us, solemn and solemn. Suddenly, a
"meteor shower" appeared in the sky. The white "meteor shower" turned the night
into the day. The houses two kilometers away from me were obvious. It was as
dense as a cobweb, like the end of the world, and the stars crashed into the
earth. Then, colorful lines burst out on the ground and made a "crackling"
sound, like setting off firecrackers. Suddenly, the earth became a colorful
world.
Suddenly, a crystal clear waterfall appeared by the lake. The waterfall was
different. It was condensed by countless small white spots. It was very
lifelike. The waterfall rolled down and emitted wisps of clear smoke, like
Penglai Fairy Island floating on the sea.
Finally, flowers of various forms appeared in the sky, with a deafening and
soul stirring sound.
Todays party is over. The fireworks parties are more and more wonderful
again and again, which let me see the prosperity and development of science and
technology in the motherland.

“轰”的一声,空中炸开一朵朵“蝴蝶兰”,逼真极了。过了一会儿,只见兰花变成了一盏盏红灯笼,缓缓而下,直入水面。一条条白蛇直冲天,“S”走法引人看。湖边射出一条条小船,亭亭玉立在湖面,仿佛一艘艘战舰向我们开来,庄严肃穆。顿时天空出现了“流星雨”,白花花的“流星雨”把夜晚照成了白天,离我二公里远的房屋都显而易见,它密如蛛网,好象世界末日,群星们撞向地球。接着地上又冲出一条条五颜六色的线,还发出“噼里啪啦”的响声,好似放鞭炮,霎时,大地都成了五彩缤纷的世界。
忽然,湖边出现了一条晶莹剔透的瀑布,那瀑布与众不同,它是又无数个小白点凝聚而成的,逼真无比,那瀑布滚滚而下,还冒出一缕缕清烟,有如浮在海面的蓬莱仙岛。
最后,天空中又出现了千姿百态的繁花,响声震耳欲聋,惊心动魄。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.
通常用黑芝麻做馅,但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好,吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆,所以正月十五元宵必备。
Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.
正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。
Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.
从宋代开始,猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯,供人猜射。通常,谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。
The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.
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。
Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.
舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样,每逢佳节,人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成,每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。
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。

又到了正月十五,我国最热闹的节日之一元宵节,那一天我们一家过得其乐融融。
元宵节有个习俗就是吃汤圆,寓意着让每家团团圆圆,今晚奶奶“权力下放”,把煮汤圆的重要任务交给我来执行。我把它看成一件十分重大的任务,生怕煮破了,因此心里好像揣着一只小兔子“怦怦”直跳。我想起以前奶奶教我煮汤圆的经验:先将糯米粉用开水调和成皮,注意水不可以太多,多了会过稀;也不能过少,少了没粘性。然后取一块皮在手掌中搓成圆形,再用手指在上面按一个窝,把芝麻捣碎做馅,放在里面“包”好。放馅时一定不可以太贪心,否则会把皮的“肚子”给撑破的。终于包好后,可以下锅了。我又按照奶奶说的煮汤圆的四个诀窍:“开水下锅,慢水煮,点冷水,勤换水”于是便将自己辛辛苦苦做好的元宵放进水里。没多久,可以起锅了,掀开盖子,只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水上,彼此紧贴着,好像一粒粒大珍珠,看得我直流口水,将它们舀到碗里,闻着那香喷喷的味道,忍不住先咬了一口,真好吃啊,又香又糯。我刚把汤圆端上桌,大家就狼吞虎咽的吃开了。大家高兴地吃完了我煮的汤圆,“美食家”奶奶还给我打了一个九十五分,夸我长大了,懂事了。我兴奋不已,第一次煮汤圆就得到这么高的评价,我心里美滋滋的。
品尝着自己亲手做的汤圆,觉得特别好吃,心里特别开心。盼望着明年元宵节时再做更好吃的汤圆给大家品尝。

“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。
