元宵节的来历用英文来介绍汇集20篇

每年农历正月十五，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，古人称其为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节而十五日又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，也是庆祝新春的延续，是春节之后的第一个重要节日。元宵节又称为“上元节”。

中国幅员辽阔，历史悠久，所以关于元宵节的习俗在全国各地也不尽相同，其中吃元宵、赏花灯、舞龙、舞狮子等是元宵节几项重要民间习俗。元宵节我和奶奶、爸爸一起做“元宵”，我认为元宵其实是和汤圆一样的。都是那么园，那么白，像一个个白白胖胖的小娃娃。我觉得包元宵好好玩，在元宵里放入各种馅儿：芝麻，豆沙，桂圆，果仁等等，然后再包好。我想“元宵”这个“元”和团圆这个“园”是谐音，大概就是要把元宵搓得很圆才行，包好的元宵再放入锅里煮。这样元宵就做好了，家家户户就围在一起吃元宵了。就像这句话“闹元宵，煮元宵，骨肉团聚，满心喜。”

元宵节那一天最热闹的无过于放礼花了。街上人很多，每个人都站在了最佳观赏烟花的位置。放烟花的人来了，他点燃了烟花，“呯呯”开始放了。看，一只像老鼠一样的烟花冲上天了，一炸五颜六色的花点儿就在天上飞舞，过了一会儿又不见了。

紧接着，又飞上了一朵花像流星雨一样从天而降，就像天女散花……人越来越多了，笑声越来越响了，一朵朵“花”也越来越好看了……大伙儿沉浸在欢声笑语的元宵夜之中。

元宵节家家户户聚在一起，累了，困了，一会儿就进入了美妙的梦乡，我想，人们也一定会笑得很开心的。

元宵节的来历中国的传统文化，光辉灿烂，有绘画、剪纸、民间工艺、民间艺术，但我最喜欢的是元宵节放烟火的传说。

传说在很久以前，有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间，却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道后十分震怒，就下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火，把人类通通烧死。天帝的女儿心地善良，不忍心看百姓无辜受难，就冒着生命的危险，把这个消息告诉了人们。

众人听说了这个消息，犹如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得不知如何是好。过了好久好久，才有个老人家想出个法子，他说：“在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天，每户人家都在家里挂起红灯笼、点爆竹、放烟火。这样一来，天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了”。大家听了都点头称是，便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上，天兵往下一看，发觉人间一片红光，以为是大火燃烧的火焰，就禀告天帝不用下凡放火了。人们就这样保住了生命及财产。为了纪念这次的成功，从此每到正月十五，家家户户都悬挂灯笼，放烟火来纪念这个日子。

传统节日的传说，是我国传统文化的精髓。我们要让更多的人去了解它，让它发扬光大。

Elder sister, my name is XXX, I think I was a lively and cheerful, sunny boy positive. My motto is: simple life, practical work, to do their best. What is the simple life?

And what is called best? That is the last person to form their own the style, then this Style provides a reference for others to learn and live by themselves and others

重阳节是汉民族的传统节日。中国古代以“六”为阴数，“九”为阳数，九月初九正好两个阳数相重，所以人们把它叫做“重阳”，也叫“重九”，又因为“九九”与“久久”谐音，所以人们认为这天是个特别值得庆贺的日子。

《中华人民共和国宪法》规定：中青年必须履行孝敬老年人，爱护老年人，赡养老年人的义务。因为“九九”与“久久”是“但愿人长久”的谐音，所以规定农历九月初九日重阳节为“敬老日”。这给重阳节赋予了新的内容。

重阳节的习俗有登高、赏菊、喝菊花酒、插茱萸、吃年糕等，这些习俗一直流传到现在。

元宵节起源于“火把节”，汉代民众在乡间田野持火把驱赶虫兽，希望减轻虫害，祈祷获得好收成。直到今天，中国西南一些地区的人们还在正月十五用芦柴或树枝做成火把，成群结队高举火把在田头或晒谷场跳舞。隋、唐、宋以来，更是盛极一时。参加歌舞者足达数万，从昏达旦，至晦而罢。当随着社会和时代的变迁，元宵节的风俗习惯早已有了较大的变化，但至今仍是中国民间传统节日。

元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

农历正月十五夜，是我国名间传统的庆典元宵节。俗称“灯节”。旧习元宵之夜，城里乡间，到处张灯结彩，观花灯，猜灯谜，盛况空前。届时，不论皇室贵戚，平民百姓，深闺淑女，均可破常规，顺习俗。制灯玩耍，出游嬉闹。

唐宋清明，元宵节成了年节中重要的民众娱乐活动。墨客骚人，常吟诗作画，作为增添雅兴。今天，元宵放灯、观灯，仍是中国广大地区人民喜闻乐见的民俗娱乐活动。特别是近几年，出现了空前繁荣的景象，可它究竟是什么时候起源的呢?在1983年出版的《中国年节》中认为：“到了汉明永定十年(公元67年)，蔡愔从印度求得佛法，汉明帝为了提倡佛法，命令在元宵节点灯，以表示对佛法的尊敬。”

这就是元宵节的来源。我喜欢元宵节。

元宵节俗的形成有一个较长的过程，根据史料与民俗传说，正月十五在西汉已经受到重视，汉武帝正月上辛夜在甘泉宫祭祀“太一”的活动(太一：主宰世界一切的神)，被后人视作正月十五祭祀天神的先声。

正月十五真正作为民俗节日是在汉魏之后。东汉佛教文化的传入，对于形成过元宵节的风俗有着重要的推动意义。

汉明帝永平年间(公元58—175年)，因明帝提倡佛法，适逢蔡愔从印度求得佛法归来，称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五，僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利，是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法，下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院“燃灯表佛”。因此正月十五夜燃灯的习俗随着佛教文化影响的扩大及道教文化的加入逐渐在中国扩展开来。

又有一说元宵节起源于“火把节”，汉代民众在乡间田野持火把驱赶虫兽，希望减轻虫害，祈祷获得好收成。隋、唐、宋以来，更是盛极一时。 直到今天，中国西南一些地区的人们还在正月十五用芦柴或树枝做成火把，成群结队高举火把在田头或晒谷场跳舞。

另有一说是元宵燃灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”：正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。

就节期长短而言，汉代是一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

今天是元宵节，我们边吃着汤圆，爸爸边给我讲着一个元宵节的传说。 这是一个又有趣又美丽的民间传说：

据说在很久以前，有一只神鸟因为迷路，然后降落到人间，却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道后十分愤怒，就下令让天兵天将在正月十五日到人间放火，把人类通通烧死。天帝有一个女儿心地善良，不忍心看百姓无辜受难，就冒着生命的危险，把这个消息告诉了人们。众人听说了这个消息，有如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得不知如何是好。过了好久好久，才有个老人家想出个法子，他说：“在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天，每户人家都在家里挂起红灯笼、点爆竹、放烟火。这样一来，天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了”。大家听了都点头表示赞同，于是分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上，天兵往下一看，发觉人间一片红光，以为是大火燃烧的火焰，就禀告天帝不用下凡放火了。人们就这样保住了生命及财产。为了纪念这次的成功，从此每到正月十五，家家户户都悬挂灯笼，放烟火来纪念这个日子。

啊，原来元宵节有这么一个传说，我现在才知道为什么人们在元宵节要挂灯笼、放烟花。

Hi,everybody. Good to be here. Facing the audience, a thought occured to me. Mama has alway told me not to make a fool in public. But somehow I just couldnt follow what she said exactly. Well some people always treat me as a crazy loon. For Im never part of any crowd and have some dreams far-off look. Id even crash into someone with my nose stuck in a book. Now Im standing on the stage, giving a speech in English. Circumstance being that Im pretty nervous. Maybe some guy would just think that itd embarass me as frightened speechless. Never mind. Im always good for a laugh.

有这么一个人，我对她最熟悉不过了。

她呀，个子还算高，瘦瘦的，像根弱不禁风的豆芽菜;一条马尾辫常常甩在后脑勺;两道月牙一样的眉毛下是一双炯炯有神的眼睛;高挺的鼻子下有一整小巧的.嘴。

她的性格怎么说呢，这样说吧：她有时泼辣，有时文静。她的爱好广泛的很，读书啦、运动啦、写作文啦……说到写作文，她还与它有一段冤缘呢。起初，她并不喜欢写作文，可是老妈的命令下，她哪敢不从呢!写着写着，既然喜欢上了写作文，你说怪不怪?

她也有一颗善良的心：一天，她下午在学校教室与同学扫地。本与同学商量好，教室总共有三组，一人扫一组，中间一组一起扫。可是，她的同学肚子疼，她已扫完一组，可她的同学还是不舒服，所以她就自己一个人扫完了三个组，并且还不忘送她的同学去给老师看看。看吧，她就是这么一个好心肠的女孩。

同学们，你们猜猜，她是谁啊?告诉你们，她就是我。怎么样，猜着了么?

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

元宵节的由来

Lantern Festival

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.

According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
