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。

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。

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!

元宵节

元宵节是中国的一个传统节日。通常在阴历年的第一个月的第十五天庆祝。

元宵节是中国最大的节日之一。在元宵节到来的几天前，人们就开始做灯笼，有的被做成动物，有的被做成蔬菜，有的被做成水果，各种样式都有。做灯笼时，人们通常在上面写上谜语。在元宵节前夜，所有的灯笼都被挂起来。

在元宵节这天，人们都出来看灯笼和猜灯谜，也许你还能看见一些精彩的民间表演龙舞和秧歌。每件事都很有趣，每个人都很高兴，我们的生活丰富多彩。

Ushered in the annual "Lantern Festival". To celebrate "yuanxiao" fireworks are popular all over the country, yuanxiao is not exceptional also this year, dad bought me a $one hundred worth of fireworks, this can be more one hundred yuan to buy fireworks, there are two value of 25 yuan "all over the sky star," there are two boxes of "fluorescence line", there is a row of "bee", also have three packs of "small rocket", and...

The night of the Lantern Festival, the streets here, flowing, crowded packed; Smoke in the sky, colorful. Look at everyone with fireworks, I also cant wait to come up with a "baby", lit it fuses, soon see fireworks fly into the air blast scattered pieces of colorful flowers, cheering people around "wow! How nice!" At this time I feel very proud.

Then, more and more people, the more excited I picked up the "small rocket", only to hear "sou" with a straight at the clouds take, 1 of "boom" is falling down.

All of a sudden, a light "kongmin light" slowly up to you and the people around you are continuously suspected with the lamp, seems to be the heart pray: "kongmin light to illuminate my future way!"

That night, people gradually dispersed in the streets, and I also with my father and mother went home.

一年一度的“元宵节”又迎来了。为了庆祝“元宵”全国各地的人都流行放烟花，今年的元宵也不例外，爸爸给我买了一百元的烟花，这一百元买到的烟花可多了，其中有两个价值25元的“满天星”，还有两盒“荧光线”，还有一排“小蜜蜂”，也有三包“小火箭”，还有……

元宵节的夜晚，街道上人来人往，川流不息，拥挤得水泄不通;天空中烟雾弥漫，五彩缤纷。看着大家放烟花，我也迫不及待地拿出一个“满天星”，点着它的引线，很快看到烟花飞向空中炸开了一朵朵五颜六色的花朵散开了，周围的人不断欢呼“哇!好漂亮哦!”此时我感到非常自豪。

紧接着，人越来越多了，我更加兴奋得拿起了“小火箭”，只听见“嗖”的一声直冲云捎，“嘣”的一声就坠落下来。

突然，一盏“孔明灯”缓缓地向上飘去，周围的人都目不转睛的疑似着那盏灯，似乎内心都在祈祷：“孔明灯给我照亮前程吧!”

夜深了，街道上的人群渐渐地散开了，我也随着爸爸，妈妈回家了。

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.

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。

The annual Lantern Festival finally arrived, on this day, every family hangs red lanterns and set off firecrackers before they can eat, of course, dinner is different also, want to eat yuanxiao.

一年一度的元宵节终于到了，每到这一天家家户户门前都挂着红灯笼，而且吃饭之前还要放鞭炮，当然，晚饭也和以前不一样，要吃元宵。

大约五六点了，“怎没还不开饭呀。”在一旁的我说道。这时，爸爸说到楼下放鞭炮去，我便去看一看。爸爸把鞭炮挂到树枝上，拿起了打火机。“噼里啪啦”，鞭炮声响了起来。“开饭了，开饭了。”妈妈喊道。我端起了一碗元宵，品尝了一个，那种香喷喷的气味让我回味无穷。吃完元宵后，我便来到了厉山公园去看烟花，来到现场，还没有开始，我们又等了一会儿，烟花终于开始放了，因为离得太远了，看不清楚，我也挤进了人群之中，忽然，一位小孩子说了一个字，看。我仰起头来，只见天空中有很多一闪一闪的星星，噢，不对，星星哪有那么多颜色，这是烟花，大约五六秒过去了，颗颗流星般的烟花落了下来。哇，真是太逼真了。再看看大街上，真是好不热闹，车水马龙。

十点了，我也该回家了，但看着耀眼的烟花，还是不忍心走，又过去了五六分钟，我才依依不舍得离开了厉山公园。

lanterns in the first row of the "door", which say "congratulations on the new

year"; 10 lanterns in Row 2; There are 16 in a row below; Until the penultimate

row, there are 10 more; There are also four in the last row, with four big

characters on it, which are "Happy New Year".

and there are also 10 groups of large lanterns. On average, there are four large

lanterns on each small lattice and each marble seat, which are arc-shaped, and a

of rabbits. The rabbit holds a gold ingot in his hand. On the side of the rabbit

is a pair of cranes. Behind the main body are some gifts, firecrackers,

正月十五闹元宵，在元宵节这一天，春节就算是真正地过完了。在这一天，人们要观灯，放烟花，吃元宵或汤圆。我，最喜欢在元宵节看花灯，赏灯了。

来到大街上，只见大街路灯上都挂满了灯笼，16个路灯为一组，一边8个。我们走走走，走到桥上，桥上也支起了灯笼“门”。“门”的第一排有4个大灯笼，上面写着“恭贺新春”;第2排10个灯笼;下面就16个一排;直到倒数第2排，又是10个;最后排也是4个，上面也有4个大字，为“新春快乐”。

再看桥中心的小广场的休息长廊，一共有10个大理石座椅，大理石座椅上方有4个大灯笼，大灯笼也是10组。平均每个小格格，也是每个大理石座椅上都有4个大灯笼，呈弧形，最侧边还挂着一个大灯笼。

好了，让我们再去其它地方看看吧!

元宵·赏灯上

到了大广场中间，只见一个大灯笼，大概是我的10倍，大灯笼上边挂9个小灯笼。大灯笼中间有一头麒麟，麒麟代表祥瑞，而麒麟两侧刚分别有一只仙鹤守护。仙鹤旁边是一对小兔，小兔手中抱着一个金元宝，小兔侧边还是一对仙鹤。大主体后边则还有一些礼品，炮竹，对联福字等。其实，这是一辆花车!它的主题是“玉兔送福”。

元宵·赏灯下

别只顾看中心的，我们还有一些小兔在草坪上愉快地玩耍呢!

草坪中心有一对兔子，兔爷爷戴着一副小眼镜，向大家“恭喜恭喜”，而兔奶奶却提着一个果篮，可能在发给小兔们吧!瞧!兔奶奶旁边有两只小兔，一只小男兔一只小女兔，小女兔手拿一个苹果，哦，这是兔奶奶给她的吧!小男兔则一边笑，一边拿着灯笼想去看看元宵节到底怎样热闹呢!而兔爷爷身旁有三只小兔，两只小女兔，一只小男兔。看!兔奶奶也给了那小女兔苹果，她正开心地笑呢!另一只小女兔则坐在她最爱吃的大蘑菇上戴着大红蝴蝶结，笑嘻嘻地想说些什么。那只调皮的小男兔手拿一串鞭炮，也不怕把自己给炸喽!胆子真够大呀!

旁边还有一些小兔子我就不再一一介绍了，花灯多极了，下次有空我再带你们去亲眼看一看!

到了八点整，文化宫外不在热闹，你一定觉得很奇怪，这是为什么呢?因为大家都去运动场外准备看烟花。开始放了，烟花像一个淘气的小孩子，一个个的，从纸箱里钻出来，飞向高高的、美丽的夜空。随着一声声震耳欲聋的响声，夜空绽放出一朵朵绚丽多彩的花朵，它们的形状颜色各不相同，有五颜六色的满天星，金黄色的蒲公英……

随着一声声炮响，人们在惊呼，赞叹，脸上露出了幸福的笑容。烟花表演在欢呼声中悄悄结束，但刚刚那一幕幕精彩的烟花表演，将永远留在我的脑海里。

In the joy of the Lantern Festival, a tree, bamboo pole, beautiful lanterns are hung, far look like a beautiful flower, the modelling of each hand carry lanterns, in the darkness of the night, appear more bright beautiful, and huge lanterns, light up every dark corner.

Traffic on the road, everyone is permeated with a happy atmosphere, the side of the roads shouts and cries, let the streets become more lively. In this cold weather, people eat a bowl of bowl of warm dumplings, eating a chain of moments of squid balls, listening to the sweet songs and after night! But people still boiling, forgot the time.

Looked at the pairs of friends and partners together talking, then ask yourself the answer, my good friend! Where is she? Isnt forget time, or have a problem on the way, my heart try so hard, like a cat on hot bricks went around every corner, I couldnt find her, dont have time to listen to the beautiful lanterns. When I was about to give up, just saw, the front is not my friend? I quickly ran to the front of her, she handed me a cup of hot cocoa, and warm let me so moved, cold hand, and warm up.

在欢乐的元宵节中，树上、竹竿上，都挂着漂亮的花灯，远看彷彿是一朵朵美丽动人的花，每人手上提的造型花灯，在黑暗的晚上中，显得更加亮丽，而巨大的花灯，照亮了每个阴暗的角落。

路上车水马龙，每个人都洋溢着快乐的气氛，路边的吆喝声、叫卖声，让街道上变得更加热闹。在这寒冷的天气里，有人吃着一碗碗温热的汤圆、有人吃着一串串的花枝丸，听着一首首悦耳动听的歌曲，夜深了!可是人潮依旧沸腾，彷彿忘记了时间。

望着那一对一对的朋友及伴侣走在一起谈笑，便自问自答，我的好朋友呢!她在哪?是不是忘记时间，还是在路上遇到问题，我的心如热锅上的蚂蚁一样的着急，我跑遍了每个角落，就是找不到她，也没时间理会那漂亮的花灯。当我正要放弃时，才看见，前面不就是我的朋友吗?我飞快的跑到她面前，她递给我一杯温暖的热可可，让我感动不已，冰冷的手，也温暖了起来。

the 14th day should be for preparations to celebrate the lantern festival which is to be held on the 15th night。

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month is a traditional festival in China. This year I had a special and lively night without curfew.

Special, because this is the first time Im not at home for the festival. In the past, on the 15th day of the first month of each year, our family was ready early to see the lanterns. Every year, I can enjoy the beautiful, novel and colorful lanterns, as well as the beautiful, charming and colorful fireworks. According to my mother, the lantern show in Zhangye is clearer than that in Linze. Therefore, with the consent of my parents, I went to my uncles house for the Lantern Festival.

My uncle cooked the dumplings early. They were round and sweet to the heart, but I only ate a few and pestered my uncle to take me to watch the lights.

When we got to the square, ah, it was a sea of people. Around it, there were lanterns of different sizes and shapes, which made people dizzy. There are red goldfish lanterns, Fuwa lanterns symbolizing the Olympic Games and peacock lanterns... This year is the year of the horse. Of course, the horse is the protagonist. There are horse spring lanterns, shepherd childrens horse lanterns, horse fighting lanterns and rows of shining lanterns. I wish people to take the lead in their body, career and life this year.

In the distance, the flashing lighthouse attracted me. It took us a lot of effort to squeeze into the front. The high lighthouse is inlaid with beautiful neon lights, red, blue, yellow, green and colorful. It stands in the middle of the square. It is very beautiful.

After a while, we came to the park again. There are many lights hanging here, especially those flashing in the willows. There are lovely doll lights, beautiful peacock lights and golden ingot lights, which are really unforgettable.

At this time, with the roaring sound, the sky of the square suddenly lit up. Oh, it turned out that fireworks began to set off. This is what I look forward to most. I saw fireworks bloom in the air like beautiful flowers, and then slowly disappear. Some crossed the sky like beautiful meteors, and some scattered flowers from the sky in the distance. It was very beautiful.

How lively Zhangye is on the fifteenth day of the first month and how charming the night scene of the Lantern Festival is!

正月十五元宵节是中国的传统节日，今年我度过了一个特殊而热闹的无宵夜。

说特殊，因为这是我第一次不在家过节。以前，每年正月十五，我们全家早早就准备好了去看花灯，每年，我都能欣赏到漂亮新颖、五彩缤纷的花灯，还会看到美丽迷人、五颜六色的焰火。听妈妈说，张掖的灯展比临泽更清亮，所以，我征得爸妈同意，到舅舅家过元宵。

舅舅早早就煮好了汤圆，圆圆的，从口甜到心，但我只吃了几个就缠着舅舅带我去观灯。

到了广场，啊，真是人山人海，四周挂满了大大小小、形态各异的花灯，让人目不暇接。有火红的金鱼灯，象征奥运的福娃灯，开屏的孔雀灯……今年是马年，马当然是主角了，有马闹春灯，牧童戏马灯，斗马灯，一排排闪亮的马灯祝福人们今年身体一马当先，事业一马当先，生活越来越好。

远处，一闪一闪的灯塔吸引了我，我们费了好大的劲才挤到前面，高高的灯塔上镶着漂亮的霓虹灯，红的，蓝的，黄的，绿的，五彩纷呈，耸立在广场中央，美丽极了。

过了一会，我们又来到了公园，这里也挂了许多灯，特别是闪烁在柳树丛中的，有可爱娃娃灯，美丽的孔雀灯，金灿灿的元宝灯，真叫人念念不忘啊。

这时，随着轰轰的声响，广场的天空一下子亮了起来，噢，原来是开始放焰火了，这可是我最期待的了，只见焰火像一朵朵漂亮的花在空中绽放，又缓缓消失，有的像美丽的流星一样划过天际，有的像天女散花一般，从远处的天空慢慢飘落，美丽极了。

正月十五的张掖多么热闹，元宵节的夜景多么迷人啊!
