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。

今天是元宵节，我和爸爸妈妈一起去广场看花灯。广场上人真多，好热闹。我还看到我的两个同学，小文和小倩。我和他俩打了招呼，他们也是和我一样来看花灯的。我们看到了许多花灯，五颜六色、不同形状，有的是奥运福娃做成的花灯、有的是可爱的小老鼠做成的花灯、有的用纸做的老虎花灯――太多了，太多了，我还是第一次看到这么多漂亮的花灯，看的我眼花燎乱。

爸爸妈妈也给我买了一个，是我自己挑选的。一个很漂亮的轮船小花灯：红色的手柄下挂着一个可爱红色的心，底下串联的是黄色的轮船，轮船两边还有两个船浆。打开电开关，小轮船花灯还发出黄色美丽的灯光，最让我兴奋的是发出“小叮铛”音乐，实在太美妙，太动听了。我一路走，她一路在唱歌。如果拉下她的小屁股，小轮船就开始在地上行驶起来，乐得我不停地在后面追跑。

在回家的路上，我还观看了许多烟花，真是五彩缤纷!一串串烟花飞上天空，发出美丽的图案，像一个大火球，像一个大圆盘发出许多美丽的花辫!路上很多人也和我一样停下来看，我们足足看了十几分钟，看到了有十多个放完了的烟花盒。爸爸说可能是那个烟花店的老板卖不完了，就在今天一齐放掉。妈妈说可能是有钱的老板今天要开张了就在今天拼命庆祝。我不管这些，我只知道今天他们放烟花就是用来庆祝元宵节的。

最后，我们还去信江河边，把过年时没有放完的烟花和鞭炮一齐放了。

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.
