Why, then, the Lantern Festival to admire the lanterns? There is a beautiful legend there also!

The fifteenth day of the first words in ancient times a year, a scholar in the palace garden for a walk. Suddenly, he heard from the corridor there came the voice of the cry, he went over to look.

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 Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday, as far back as two thousand years ago in the western han dynasty, yuanxiao watching lanterns began in the Ming emperor of the eastern han dynasty period.

I quickly made a wish. Over kongmin light high, like to play with the moon. Is really a happy Lantern Festival.

元宵节是中国的传统节日，早在两千多年前的西汉就有了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期。

明帝命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。所以现在有元宵燃灯的习俗。晚上我和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起吃了汤圆，甜甜的，真好吃。吃过晚饭后，我们出去玩。我看见圆圆的月亮挂在天空，家家户户都点亮了红红的灯笼，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，满天的焰火有的像天女散花，有的像菊花盛开一样，美丽极了。

我们来到江北 ，市民广场的人真多啊!满天飞舞着孔明灯。我们也买了个孔明灯。首先，我们把一块蜡绑在孔明灯底部，然后用火点燃，再用手拿住孔明灯的四个角，过了一会儿，灯里充满热气，渐渐地鼓起来，我们就慢慢地松开手，孔明灯缓缓地飞上天。

我赶紧许了一个愿。孔明灯越飞越高，好像要跟月亮去玩耍。真是一个快乐的元宵节。

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!

一年一度的元宵节开始了。虽然我们必须上学，但班上似乎也暖洋洋的。下午，我们班破例召开了猜灯谜活动，但我对这些活动兴趣一般，因为我等着晚上……

终于熬到了晚上，天已经完全黑下，外面不时传来鞭炮和礼花声，天上一朵朵“花”争着开放，看，又一个大的礼花点燃了，“嗖”的一声第一发礼花冲向黑黑的夜空，随着“咚”的一声一朵绚丽的菊花开放在空中，紧接着一朵又一朵的礼花在黑夜中绽放，有红的，像牡丹;也有白的，是梨花;还有红白相间的礼花，更是美上加美。他们的形状也各不相同：有的像足球;有的像鸡蛋;甚至有的商家为了生意，还把自己的商标做成礼花，我就看到了一个三菱标志的礼花，我心想：现在的科技真高级，连礼花都能做成这样!

过了一会儿，礼花停了。可是声音却没停，因为我们听到了一种沙沙的声音，好像流星雨一样，正在我们仰头观望的时候，一些碎碎的、五颜六色的纸屑落在了我们的头上身上，我们叫着、笑着、躲着……

这个元宵节既有趣又充实，让我自己的心情又一次进入了高潮，真美呀!在阵阵鞭炮和礼花声中，我甜甜的睡了。

大家都知道，元宵节是中华民族的传统节日，在那天全国各地的人们都在看花灯吃元宵，我们家乡这也不例外!

元宵节这天到处张灯结彩，喜气洋洋。他别是舞龙、舞狮最热闹，龙是花布做的，有的用十个人舞，龙头前面有一颗珠子。这个珠子叫“龙珠”，龙舞起来时很好看，像真的的龙一样，观众不断叫好，有些观众去摸龙，他们说摸了龙能治百病，一年都不会生病，舞的人舞的满头大汗，观众拍手叫好。

说舞龙精彩，还有根有意思的，这天人们都要走出户外，到处游玩，亲戚们一起去游玩，听他们说，又完了以后一年都不会生病，不过我想人们出去走一走，还是有一定道理的，春节间吃的好，喝的好，人们出去活动活动，锻炼身体当然不会生病。

On the occasion of the Lantern Festival, there is a festive atmosphere

everywhere. You see, guessing lantern riddles and setting off fireworks... There

are all kinds of strange activities, ranging from astronomy to geography. Now

Ill take you to see the fireworks party!

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,

from blue to white, very beautiful! Colorful, large and small fireworks are

reflected on the sparkling lake, as if fish are also setting off fireworks in

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.

"Boom", the air exploded one after another "Phalaenopsis", which was very

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.

元宵佳节之际，处处洋溢着喜庆的气氛。你瞧，什么猜灯谜、什么放烟火呀……各种各样，稀奇古怪的，上至天文，下至地理的活动都有，现在我就带你去看看烟火晚会吧!

穿过熙熙攘攘的小道，便到了波光粼粼的湖边，我们焦急而又耐心地等待着，时间一分一秒地过去了，人越来越多，最后挤挤挨挨，人群从西望不见头，从北望不见尾，人山人海，人声鼎沸，有的坐在石椅上，有的弯腰，有的前俯后仰，有的踮着脚尖望着。有白发苍苍的老爷爷，有眉清目绣的青年人，有四五岁的小孩。

过了许久，只听嘣的一声，天空中出现奇花异卉，激动人心的烟火晚会开始了!人们顿时雅雀无声。接着，天空出现了万紫千红、争先恐后、由黄变紫、由红变蓝、由蓝变白，美极了!花花绿绿，大大小小的烟花倒映在波光粼粼的湖面上，仿佛鱼儿们也在它们的家园里放烟花呢!天空中的奇花有的绿草如茵，有的桃红李白。婀娜多姿，美不胜收，仿佛清香扑鼻，馨香阵阵。

“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。

今天的晚会结束了，一次又一次的烟火晚会一次比一次的精彩，让我看到了祖国的科技繁荣、发达。

probably more food is consumed during the new year celebrations than any other time of the year. vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

on new years day, the chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai. although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. the chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

in south china, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

in the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. the tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival.

正月15是中国的元宵节。

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.

根据中国的传统，新年伊始，当空中出现一轮明亮的圆月时，成千的彩灯就会被悬挂出来。

During the Lantern Festival, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball).

在元宵节期间，人们会试着猜灯谜，吃汤圆。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century, Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala performances.

在六世纪的隋朝,当时的隋炀帝邀请他国的外交使节来中国欣赏彩灯，观看节目。

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century, the lantern displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew, allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

在七世纪的唐初，彩灯的展示会一直延续3天。当时的帝王还颁布了宵禁令，允许人们昼夜地庆祝节日。

In the Song Dynasty, the festival was celebrated for five days and the activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

到了宋代，人们会用5天的时间来庆祝元宵节，该节日也开始蔓延到许多中国的大城市。

Today, the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of the first lunar month throughout China.

今天，正月15挂花灯在整个华夏大地仍就是一项很隆重盛大的活动。

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts, sesame, osmanthus flowers, rose petals, or jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat, vegetables etc.

汤圆的馅有甜，也有咸。甜馅可以由糖，胡桃，芝麻，桂花，玫瑰花瓣，或者枣泥做成。一个成分或者任意几种成分的组合都可以用来做汤圆的馅。咸馅则可以由碎肉末，蔬菜等做成。

The annual Lantern Festival will come. I will introduce the history of the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival on January 15th lunar. Also called the Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival. Legend, the Chinese emperor (179-157) before the former to celebrate bo zhou on the fifteenth day of the first to determine the lv ping, on this night, will be out of the palace, and the citizen, in ancient times, night night, in the first month on January, also called Chinese emperor is declared the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the night is called yuanxiao.

There are a lot of programs, said all say dont come over.

In a word, the Lantern Festival must be very busy today.

一年一度的元宵节又要来到了。我就介绍介绍这个元宵节的历史吧。

元宵节农历正月十五。又称上元节、元夜、灯节。相传，汉文帝(前179—前157年)为庆祝周勃于正月十五勘平诸吕之乱，每逢此夜，必出宫游玩，与民同乐，在古代，夜同宵，正月又称元月，汉文帝就将正月十五定为元宵节，这一夜就叫元宵。

吃“汤圆”是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“汤团”、“元宵”。吃汤圆的风俗始于宋代，生意人则美其名日：“元宝”。宋元元初时，汤圆已成为元宵节的应节食品，所以人们又称它为“元宵”。如今，北方叫元宵，南方称汤圆。元宵依馅论，分有馅和无馅两种，有馅元宵又有咸、甜、荤、素之分。

猜灯谜是元宵节的项目之一。中国最大的一次灯谜盛会是1979年在南京举行的“九城市灯谜会猜”，设有灯谜上万条，3天里参加的人次达两万多人。

还有好多好多的节目呢，说都说不过来了。

总之一句话，今天的元宵节肯定特别热闹。

Lantern Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festival, is also one of the childrens favorite holiday.

Still remember when I was a child of the fireworks are diverse, drill day, a small bees, have all over the sky star, a... Every fifteen, dark night is always a bright day, decorated with are all kinds of fireworks, the reflecting pool. Spring Festival in recent years the state advocates civilization, advocating less people set off firecrackers and fireworks, less so now, the Spring Festival, the lantern in a noisy degree than before, but even so, when the Lantern Festival is still a lively scene.

After ten years of the Lantern Festival, put ten years of fireworks, however, only the most let me remember this year.

Before the Lantern Festival is spent in their own homes, only behind the dinner would be allowed to run into the street with friends. But this year is spent in my uncles house. And because of that, this years Lantern Festival didnt let me so memorable.

Sister-in-law the year before last Septembers just add a child, this year has been one and a half, it is carefree, lively and active, so the scene is particularly lively. We first had a sumptuous dinner, and then enjoy the beautiful fireworks fly kongmin light, the next step is to watch my show little nephew of the age of one and a half.

He also is very good and we in the "audience" interaction, occasionally pulled my 13 year old brother and his dance together, or go to our side to give us a kiss, when we are going to hold him and ran away quickly.

The laughter of the room, the fireworks out of the window is gorgeous. The laughter of the room through the window, across the are in full bloom of fireworks, fly far away...

元宵灯节，是中国传统的节日之一，也是孩童们最喜欢的节日之一。

仍记得小时候的烟花多种多样，有钻天坠，有小蜜蜂，有满天星，有……每到十五，漆黑的夜晚总是亮如白昼，被各色的烟花装点着，照映着。最近几年国家提倡文明春节，提倡人们少放鞭炮，少放烟花，所以现在春节、元宵的热闹程度大不如以前，然而即使如此，元宵灯节时仍是一片热闹场面。

过了十好几年的元宵节，放了十好几年的烟花，然而只有今年最让我记忆深刻。

以前元宵节是在自己家中度过，唯有晚饭后方才被允许跑到大街上与小伙伴们一起。然而今年却是在舅舅家度过。而正因为如此，今年的元宵节才让我如此难忘。

嫂子前年九月份刚添了个小孩儿，今年已一岁半了，正是无忧无虑，活泼好动的时候，所以场面格外的热闹。我们先是吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，然后欣赏了美丽的烟花并放飞了孔明灯，接下来就是观看我一岁半的小侄子的表演。

他也很会和我们这些‘观众’互动，偶尔拉上我十三岁的弟弟和他一起跳舞，或是跑到我们身边给我们来个飞吻，当我们要去抱他时却又迅速跑开了。

房间内的笑声不断，窗外的烟花也绚烂夺目。房内的笑声穿过窗户，越过正盛开的烟花，向着远方飞去……

The Lantern Festival is a very busy holiday.

The Lantern Festival this year, father, mother and I go to the small square watching lanterns. When we walk on the road, I far saw is a small square was a sea of people, very lively. I eager to small square, where the light is multifarious, a pagoda in the shape of a light, have a big fish in the shape of a light... , only heard a whoosh, fireworks into the sky, and emit colored light in the sky. Kongmin light slowly rising into the sky, gradually to the east.

Reading lamp, on the way home, I decided to go to the small square Lantern Festival next year will see light, I believe that next years Lantern Festival scene will more busy than this year!

元宵节是个非常热闹的节日。

今年元宵节，我和爸爸、妈妈一起去小广场看花灯。我们走在路上时，我远远就看见小广场上是一片人山人海，十分热闹。我迫不急待地赶到小广场，那里的灯真是五花八门，有宝塔形状的灯、有大鱼形状的灯……，只听见嗖的一声，一个个烟花冲向天空，在天空放射出五颜六色的光芒。一个个孔明灯缓缓地升向天空，渐渐地向东面飘去。

看完了灯，在回家的路上，我决定明年元宵节也要去小广场看灯，我相信明年的元宵节的场面会比今年更热闹!

The fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the whole city is immersed in a happy festive atmosphere.

Night after eating fragrant osmanthus dumplings, my parents and I go to wushan square lanterns. Along the way I see the decorated on both sides of the road, even on both sides of the river lane street, are full of red lanterns, a shop which is the gate and the eaves hang bamboo lanterns, as if returned to the song dynasty. Look at these I think the song dynasty yuanxiao also lanterns to do so?

In a short time, arrived at wushan square. The people here like the tide come in. A gate into the square on both sides of the arrangement of all kinds of lights, I saw the six groups in off the large lights, theme is "lights" eight horses, a symbol of the rides are always fit. Next to several groups of lights fuwa, carp, carp as a symbol of fish every year, and the fuwa symbolizes on horseback, happy immediately. A lot of people in the crowd waved a sparkling glo-sticks, let whole square emits light extraordinary splendour.

With joy the yuanxiao, is really a happy happy holiday!

正月十五元宵节，整个城市都沉浸在欢天喜地的过节气氛中。

晚上吃过香喷喷的桂花汤圆后，我和爸爸妈妈一起去吴山广场赏花灯。一路上我看见马路两边都张灯结彩，连河坊街两侧挂满了红灯笼，其中有一家店的大门口和屋檐下挂的是竹灯笼，仿佛又回到了宋代。看着这些我想是不是宋代过元宵也要如此挂满灯笼?

不一会儿，来到了吴山广场。这里的人就像潮水一样涌进来。一进广场大门两侧都布置了各式各样的彩灯，走到里面我看见了六组大型彩灯，主题是“八匹骏马灯”象征着策马扬鞭飞腾之意。旁边几组彩灯有福娃、鲤鱼，鲤鱼象征着年年有鱼，而那福娃开心骑在马背上象征着马上有福。人群中有不少人挥舞着闪闪发亮的荧光棒，让整个广场散发着流光异彩。

欢欢喜喜闹元宵，真是快乐开心的一个节日啊!

In the firecrackers, ushered in the traditional festival - the Lantern Festival in China.

The Lantern Festival, of course, in the morning should eat a bowl of steaming hot dumplings. Dumplings made with sticky dough rub, powder white, thin, on the pot steamed for a while. Cooked dumplings, like a lovely baby. A bite, very hot hot black sesame roll like water flowing into the lungs and mouth is filled with thick sesame flavor, emotions and thoughts on the tip of the tongue with that kind of sweet honey and taste, represents a HeHeMuMu life.

In the evening, I go play outside, streets are decorated, the most beautiful is the moat. City moat lights, thronged. I wander in the light of the world, watch carefully, lifelike gold fish lamp, image lifelike lotus lamp, of primitive simplicity and elegant palace lantern, all kinds of lights elegant, exquisite decoration, fine workmanship, really make a person dazzling, breathtaking. In a calm river, which reflects the light shadow, as if under the river also lit a lamp. There was a slight breeze, surface ripples, light shadow followed the wobbly.

"Good!" Attracted by a burst of cheers me, turned out to be nearby someone guess riddles. I also want to guess in the past, but we had too many people, formed a "person" wall, enclosed as the stage of guess riddles. I stand outside the people wall, listening to the sounds of laughter from inside. The host began to say lantern riddle: "a man a mouth (guess a word)." I thought to myself: what is that? Im thinking of, an old man raised his hand, replied: "is a or word." The host and smiling said: "congratulations to you, right." The words sound just fell and around there was a thunderous applause.

The Lantern Festival, the boisterous festival, in the laughter of people in the end.

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。

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!

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!

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.

Today is our traditional festival - the Lantern Festival. This day, people eat tangyuan, fireworks.

On the Lantern Festival, we are eating in the supermarket to buy frozen dumplings. But this year, with very different, the mother in order to increase the festive atmosphere, decide to do your own dumplings. I listened to my heart: dont mention how excited.

We make glutinous rice flour with boiled water conversion, dad told me to water not too much, much more will dilute; Dont too little, will not adhere to it. Then took a piece of leather palm rub into a circle, press with finger on a nest again, put the stuffing in the bread and put the stuffing must not be too greedy, otherwise it will give the skin to be broken. Good package dumplings, can begin at last. Before long, the soup mellow, I saw a white dumplings floating in the water, like the great pearl bead, make my mouth water, cant wait to bite. Ah! Are nice, so sweet and so delicious. Best wishes for happiness in the small dumpling contains our family.

Eat dumplings, we started with fireworks. Dad put a big one. I saw a few bright planet rushed into the gray sky one after another, in a flash, Mars exploded, into pieces of coloured flower. The whole sky turned out to be a beautiful big garden, a wahoo golden flower make dumplings!

Finally, our whole family to see with relish yuanxiao party, feel happy.

今天是我国的传统节日——元宵节。这一天，人们要吃汤圆、放烟花。

以往对元宵节，我们都是吃超市里买的速冻汤圆。可是，今年却截然不同，妈妈为了增加节日气氛，决定要自己做汤圆。我听了心里别提有多兴奋了。

我们先把糯米粉用开水调成皮，爸爸叫我水不要太多，多了会过稀;也不要太少，少了会粘不住。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，把馅放在里面包好，放馅时一定不能太贪心，否则会把皮给撑破的。包好汤圆后，终于可以下锅了。没过多久，汤圆熟了，只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水中，好像一粒粒大珍珠，看得我直流口水，迫不及待地咬了一口。啊!真好吃，那么香甜，那么可口。小小的汤圆包含了我们全家人的美好祝愿。

吃完汤圆，我们便开始放烟花。爸爸放了一个大的。只见几颗明亮的火星一颗接一颗冲上灰暗的天空，刹那间，火星炸开了，变成一朵朵五光十色的花蕊。整个天空变成一个美丽的大花园，真是火树金花闹元宵呀!

最后，我们全家津津有味地看元宵晚会，其乐融融的。

"The fifteenth day of the first make yuanxiao", every year after the Spring Festival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also called "Lantern Festival" and "the Lantern Festival", is China since ancient times in another 2000 years of history of folk traditional festival.

Spread to the song dynasty, in this day night hanging lanterns scale of joy more pomp, adornment modelling is more exquisite lanterns, Lantern Festival bring people more joy, more light. Poet su dongpo had did: "home of lamplight, strike in floor". Big words men xin qiji also had a famous words: "or spend the night of dongfeng, more trees, stars like rain. BMW carving car perfume road. The wind sound moving, horse-ray turn, night fish dragon dance." These poems depict the city lanterns fang, Lantern Festival night, music, song and dance sheng spectacle. In the qing dynasty, according to the Kyoto customs records: the taiping years every year, the Lantern Festival is in the qing dynasty: "JieWei lane, bead light star cloth hanging, her honey haired day", "prince guests, aspects of children, the whole stay, GuangDeng" means, so the Lantern Festival lamp lively scene.

“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。

The evening of the Lantern Festival, my parents and I a line of three people go to square to see fireworks together. Along the way, the lamp can be more people, men and women, old and young, they happily juggle said laughing, the whole city is a festival atmosphere.

Suddenly, a "missile" spray a fly to the sky, just like a plane, exploded in the sky, colorful fireworks like paratroopers float however, disappeared when fast to the ground. A few "meteor across the sky," see, the meteor shine, fly to the clouds, then there is countless small fireworks, small fireworks scratching noise frighten my brother quickly cover your ears, for a while, small fireworks will disappear without a trace.

The Lantern Festival is busy in the evening, people mountain people sea, people at the lamp people smile.

元宵节晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一行三人一起去广场看礼花。一路上，看灯的人可多了，男女老少都有，他们兴高采烈地边说边笑，整个城市一派节日的气氛。

忽然，一个“导弹”喷的一声飞向天空，就像飞机似的，在天空中爆炸了，五颜六色烟花像伞兵一样飘然而落，快到地面时就消失了。几颗“流星”从空中划过，看，那流星闪闪发亮，飞向云层，接着出现了无数小礼花，小礼花噼里啪啦的响声吓得我弟弟赶忙捂住耳朵，一会儿，小礼花便消失的无影无踪。

元宵节的晚上可热闹了，看灯的人人山人海，人们笑逐颜开。
