终于盼到了元宵节啦！我们又可以行通济啦！

今天下午，学校组织我们五年级去行通济，同学们兴高采烈地排着队出了校门，向通济桥进发。

一路上，同学们有说有笑，大家叽叽喳喳地讨论着通济桥到底有多热闹。看！马路上挂满了红彤彤的条幅，行人道上站满了许多来行通济的队伍。有格力的、苏宁的、美团的……他们手上举着各种风车，还举着各式各样五颜六色的广告牌子。看！还有外地的旅行者呢！

大约十五分钟后，我们走到了通济桥前。一个巨大的牌坊映入眼帘，上面挂着大约有几百个灯笼，灯笼前还挂着一串又一串的大风车。牌坊整个呈红色，再配上南瓜般大，火焰般红的灯笼和五颜六色的风车，到处都洋溢着一股喜气、祥和、热闹的气氛。

走上通济桥，放眼望去，到处都是人，人流络绎不绝。兜售风车的摊位密密麻麻排列在大街与通济桥的两旁，俨然成了人与风车的海洋。

风车、生菜是行通济的吉祥物。人们一手拿着风车，一手提着生菜，随着人流挤过通济桥，来到桥西头的生菜池，把生菜使劲地往生菜池里扔。他们都希望把生菜扔到生菜池中那颗巨大理石生菜的最高处，把好运带回家。我们在那里呐喊助威，大家都融进了这欢乐的笑声中。

时间过得很快，该回学校了。我们怀着依依不舍的心情，告别通济桥，明年再来吧！

元宵节到了，家家户户都团圆在一起吃元宵，今天我要自己亲手做元宵，心里别提有多激动了!

爸爸从厨房把早已准备好的面粉和调制好的芝麻馅、红豆馅拿了出来。妈妈把面粉倒进盆里，然后加入热水和面。他一边和面，一边告诉我，一定要加开水，不然温度不够，糯米粉就不能黏在一起。接下来就轮到我大显身手了，我洗好手，卷起袖子，从妈妈和好的面团里揪出一个小面团，放在手掌上搓圆，接着用大拇指在中间按一个小窝，然后用勺子把芝麻馅放进窝里，再慢慢的收拢五指，而且不断的转动面团，就变成一个圆球了。因为我馅放的太多都漏出来了，

妈妈提醒我：“包汤圆时馅不能放太多，也不能太少，太多的话，馅会流出来，太少的话没味道。”我又轻轻的把馅拿掉了一点，再把面皮补上，一个小小的汤圆诞生了。

然后开始包第二个，这次有经验了，馅放的不多不少，刚好合适，我用均匀的力道把汤圆粘好搓圆。这个比上一个漂亮多了!真是孰能生巧，反复几次，我已经是“熟练工”了。

汤圆包好了，爸爸把水早已煮沸了，我小心翼翼的把汤圆一个个放进锅里。过一会儿，汤圆慢慢的从锅底浮出来，好像一粒粒大珍珠。汤圆熟了，我舀起一个，迫不及待的咬下去，软软的，甜甜的，让人回味无穷!

爸爸妈妈吃了我包的汤圆，都夸奖我能干。我心里美滋滋的。今年元宵节真幸福!

每年的正月十五就是我国的传统节日——元宵佳节，今天就来说说元宵佳节的一些花絮吧。

元宵佳节是一个有别于其他节日的节日，它既要吃节日的食物，又要搞节日的活动，而且还要搞得轰轰烈烈，称得上是一个别具一格的日子。

说起元宵佳节的食品，大家首先想到的是汤圆。圆圆的汤圆看起来就像一颗颗洁白的玉珠，里面嵌满了黑黑的芝麻糊，吃起来又香又甜。只要一到元宵佳节，全家人就会坐在一起开开心心地吃汤圆。吃汤圆是象征着一家人能在新的一年里都能团团圆圆、平平安安地生活。

说到元宵佳节有什么活动，人们肯定会想起闹灯会、猜灯谜。先说说灯会吧，闹灯会时，这场面可别说有多壮观了！熙熙攘攘的人群都聚集在一起，热闹非凡，人们提着形态各异的灯笼在大街上，在人群中不停地穿梭，那些造型别致的灯笼在灯光的照耀下，显得更加的迷人。

在闹灯会中，人们还会猜起灯谜。那些写有谜语问题的纸条高高地挂在墙上或者树上，只要有人猜对了，就可以拿着猜对的纸条去领奖。各种各样的奖品令人们笑颜逐开，尤其是那些孩子们个个都不愿意回家了！

元宵佳节真是一个我们国家传统的、有意义的节日，也是我们国家的一种历史文化，让我们都来保护它，把这个传统节日子子孙孙延续下去。

送走了热闹的春节之后，我们又迎来了一年一度的元宵节。老师让我们带上糯米粉，元宵馅和盛水的碗，下午一起包元宵。

下午，我一来到教室，就看见课桌上到处都是糯米粉，元宵馅和水，同学们在自己的座位上正“叽叽喳喳”的讨论着怎么包元宵。

同学们带来的元宵馅真是五颜六色：有漆黑的芝麻馅、土黄的花生馅、绛紫色的紫薯馅、红艳艳的山楂馅、雪白的白糖和鲜绿的菠菜馅。带来的糯米粉，闻起来有一股醇香扑鼻而来，让你闻了一遍还想着再闻第二遍。

这时候老师来了，刚才还在吵吵嚷嚷的我们立刻变得鸦雀无声，因为老师要教我们如何做元宵了。老师边说边示范着，首先先用元宵馅捏成一个小球，再在加过少许水的糯米粉里“打滚”，不一会元宵馅就裹上了一层厚厚的，雪白的“外衣”，元宵馅也变成了圆圆的元宵。老师讲解示范后，下面就是我们大显身手的时间了。照着老师的方法，我们都认真做起来，可是看着简单得事情，做起来却一点也不简单，由于我们掌握不了晃动的速度和频率，我们滚出来的元宵大都变成了椭圆形。不服输的我们再次捏起馅料滚动起来，终于在不懈的努力下做出了圆圆的元宵，同学们看着自己辛勤汗水做成的一个个战果，都开心的露出了灿烂的笑容。

放学后，我迫不及待的把我亲手制作的元宵拿给妈妈，让她赶紧煮给我吃，煮熟后，我狼吞虎咽地吃着鲜美的元宵，放佛感受到了元宵节欢乐的气息，这时妈妈又给我讲了元宵节的来历，在我吃的津津有味的同时了解到民俗文化的伟大。

我爱元宵节，不仅爱元宵节，还爱这鲜美还吃的元宵。

一提到正月十五，很多人都知道这一天是元宵节。 When it comes to 15th, many people know that this day is the Lantern Festival.

早晨，鞭炮噼里啪啦，这是人们迎接元宵节的到来。外面白皑皑的一片，连雪花也来向我们庆祝元宵佳节的到来。

一转眼到下午了，迎来了元宵节最热闹的时刻。

晚上，我们吃着香喷喷的元宵，爸爸说："在元宵节吃元宵是中国的传统，代表全家团团圆圆，生活像元宵一样甜蜜，元宵是在春节后第一个重要节日，又称元夕节"灯节”和“灯夕”。”

在元宵节的夜晚，我们在外散步，走在充满喜气的大街上，看见了一个人群，里面还传出敲锣打鼓声，我赶紧挤进去一看：原来是一群老人们在扭秧歌，她们在腰间系了根红色的丝绸带，向左，右，前，后地扭着，她们虽是老年人，但她们很灵活，在扭秧歌的时候，犹如一只只美丽的蝴蝶，上下翻飞着，很有秩序，

很整齐。看的人有的也不由自主地跟着节奏扭起来。

然后我们又去了商场，商场的灯各形各色，有玻璃的，塑料的，纸糊的……灯的种类也有很多如：走马灯，宫灯，纸灯，还有纱灯。但灯的形状大多是虎头形的，灯上的图案大多也是老虎。

当我们回家时，广场上放起了烟花。哇!好美的夜空呀!只见深黑的夜空中顿时盛开了五彩斑斓的礼花，开放的礼花如一个个彩球，似一朵朵金花，又像一颗颗拖着彩带的流星，把漆黑的夜空照得如白昼一样，把元宵之夜变得无比美丽，我被迷住了，那一颗颗腾空而起的五彩的礼花炸开以后，一朵朵纸花飘落下来，带着亮晶晶的东西，像下起了流星雨，刷刷的往下落，还有的如同一道提到道彩色的光环，把天空变得光彩夺目!

这就是热闹欢腾的元宵之夜!

一年一度的元宵节终于到了，我高兴到了极点，马上就问爸爸妈妈这元宵节的过法和我买烟花的数量。

“妈妈!妈妈!”我喜笑颜开地问着妈妈，“今年您给我买多少烟花呢?”妈妈极其平静地对我说：“明明，今年和以前不一样，你大了，所以我决定给你二十五元钱，你自己去买。”我想：自己买，这不是就更自由了吗?我马上骑着自行车，来到了濂江桥头，因为濂江桥头离卖烟花的地方很近，所以我把自行车停下，放在了那里，像火车一样跑到卖烟花的摊上，左挑右选。回家时，我满载而归，冲天炮、彩雷等烟花都有，就期盼着夜幕降临了。

哇!晚上到了，我带着所有的烟花和打火机，冲到了东江源大桥上，看见了我的好朋友?唐羽中，我们都心潮澎湃，一下玩这个，一下玩那个。时间过得真快，一转眼就九点三十分了，由于时间太晚，我们才依依不舍地回到了家中。

我爱元宵节，这是没有夜晚的一天，大家都沉浸在“隆隆”的烟花声中，我非常兴奋，难于入睡。

元宵节是一个快乐有趣的节日，我们家过元宵节也是，乐趣多多，使我不能忘怀，这件事为我的生活抹上了一道亮丽的色彩。

元宵节当然要做汤圆。丰盛的晚饭后，妈妈招呼大家来帮忙，她拿着做汤圆要的材料。大家围着桌子准备大干一场。妈妈面带微笑对我说：“滢滢，要看清楚我怎样包哦！”我一本正经地答应：“一定遵命，长官！”妈妈迅速从柔软的面团中扯出一小团面，右手配合左手搓一搓、捏一捏一个弧形的面皮瞬间形成。妈妈勺一勺糖花生到面皮中央，面皮两边对折再对折，最后妈妈搓了搓，一个圆溜溜、完美的花生汤圆神奇地出现了。我脑子回放着妈妈一系列流云似水的动作，我看呆了。我甩甩头回过神来，大声嚷嚷：“我也要学！”

我抓起一团面，想像妈妈那样，捏一捏、折一折、搓一搓就诞生出一个漂亮的汤圆，可现实很残酷，一个芝麻馅露出来，不忍直视的汤圆软趴趴的躺在我手中，我难过得几乎要哭出来。

妈妈安慰我：“不着急，慢慢来。”她手把手地教我，我认真观察妈妈的动作，自己也仔细耐心地做起来，一发现差错，立即补救，我的良苦用心终于感化了汤圆，很快，一个圆溜溜的汤圆在我手中出现了。我倍受鼓舞，漂亮的汤圆一个又一个在我手里出现，经过我的不懈努力，一盆汤圆成功倒进黄澄澄的黄糖水里。五六分钟后，妈妈把汤圆装盘，在上面撒上椰丝，淋上甜腻腻的糖浆，一盆美味出来了。

大家对这盆美味垂涎欲滴，我迫不及待夹了一个，嘴里咬着自已无比美味的佳作，心里明白了收获的喜悦。

这次元宵节将成为我童年永远的亮丽色彩，永远也不能抹去。

昨天是元宵节，很多地方都在热闹的准备着一顿饺子或是一锅汤圆，而在异乡的我，也和当地的人们一样，去超市买了点饺子，准备过自己的元宵节。

在我的家乡，我们不过元宵，而是过小年——正月十六，所以今天我们那里才是热闹的。其实我的家乡和我现在所在的地方相离不远，可很多习俗都有所不同。在这里，人们吃饺子和汤圆，可在我们那里，我们这两样都不吃，我们吃草米糕。在大年三十的晚上，几乎每个家庭都会买一个圆圆的米花团放在供桌上，米花团上用颜色画成像花的样子，到正月十六的晚上，就会把供着的米花团从供桌上拿下来，把上面的颜色削掉，然后用水煮着吃，我就很喜欢。

可能很多地方都没有听说过米花团，更没有这样过小年的习俗，那如果你有机会，就去我的家乡——建水去看一看，虽然平常没有米花团卖，可有纸包的米花糕，虽然它没有米花团漂亮，但味道基本一样，你可以尝一尝，包你喜欢，呵呵！

说到这里，我都有点想家了，虽然前久才从家里回来，可在家的感觉是在任何地方都无法代替的，那里有我的亲人和我的朋友，还有那二十几年的回忆！

今天我会像在家里一样，煮米花糕吃，呵呵！

201X月X日 星期X 晴

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，我们召开元宵节庆祝活动，我们进行的第一个环节是讲元宵节的故事。宁老师微笑着说：“谁先坐好谁就第一个上台讲故事。”同学们纷纷坐好，我也赶紧端端正正的坐在座位上，心里像揣了只小兔子“呯、呯、呯”直跳，希望老师叫到我却又怕讲不好。结果没有叫到我的名子，我心里才平静下来。

第二个环节是猜谜语。老师让我上台说谜语时，我高兴极了。我给大家猜了一个谜底是“天”的谜语，有的同学猜错了，我告诉他答案时，同学们都恍然大悟。

接下来是怎样给家人今天的祝福。老师给每个回答这个问题的同学每人一个汤圆，我也想回答这个问题，但是老师没有叫到我，我只有在心里默默的祝福我的家人、老师和同学，都过的像元宵一样圆润、香甜。

我国有很多啊传统的节日，有春节、元宵节、端午节、中秋节……这些节日我都很喜欢，但是，我最喜欢的节日是元宵节。今年的元宵节更是特别，因为我是在南方过的，那里的元宵节和我们北方的元宵节有些不一样。

元宵节那天上午，我和爸爸来到了当地的街心公园。走了漂亮的水上长廊，就到了公园的中心地带。那里挂了各种各样的灯笼，有的像活泼的小鱼，有的像乖巧的小兔，还有的像可爱的小猫，还有的像一条腾飞的巨龙……真是应有尽有啊。听爸爸说，到了晚上这些灯全亮了，那就是一个灯的海洋，五光十色，漂亮极了。可惜，晚上我们没有时间来观看。

不过，每个灯笼下面都挂着一条谜语，我很喜欢猜谜语，我猜中了两条字谜：一个是草上飞；一个是“手脚并用”。小朋友，你猜到它们是什么了吗？

过元宵节，在我们北方，不可缺少的美食就是元宵。而在南方却不同，他们南方人吃的不是元宵，而是汤圆。汤圆和我们北方的元宵差不多，比元宵小许多，大概有元宵的三分之一吧。一般是煮着吃，吃的时候，要连汤一起喝掉。

这个元宵节，不仅吃到了好吃的汤圆，而且还能看到美丽的花灯，猜灯谜。我喜欢这个特别的元宵节。

傍晚七点多，我就拉着妈妈去星月广场看花灯。到了星月广场，首先映入我眼帘的是八个用塑料花装饰的大字：“幸福、和谐、富民、安康。”街道两旁热闹非凡，有卖孔明灯、红牛角灯的小摊，我便停在一个小摊的前面，让妈妈买了一个孔明灯。

然后我和妈妈就开始看花灯。啊！广场上到处亮堂堂，远远望去，点点灯光在黑暗的衬托下与天空中的星星融为一体。正是“接汉疑星落，依楼似月悬”呀！广场上早已人山人海。这里的周围挂着各式各样、五彩缤纷的花灯，望着这些数不胜数的花灯，我仿佛看到了许多五颜六色的星星。这个花灯上画着嫦娥与后羿；看，那个花灯上画着一棵很高的槐树；哎，那边还有一连串不同造型的动物花灯：有米老鼠、牛、大老虎、大熊猫。等等。花灯在五颜六色灯光的点缀下，真是美丽极了。让我犹如置身在童话梦幻般的世界中，只见大家都抢着合影，相机闪个不停。

看完花灯，我和妈妈坐在一个楼梯休息，看见有许多人在放孔明灯，我便让妈妈和我一起放孔明灯。妈妈把孔明灯从袋子里取出来，把铁架子支好，我用手把孔明灯撑起来，妈妈马上把孔明灯下面的那一小块蜡点着了，我把孔明灯轻轻地往上一推，它就飞起来了。我的孔明灯越飞越高，天上的孔明灯有很多很多，但是，我的眼睛始终盯着属于我自己的那个孔明灯。

放完孔明灯之后，我就和妈妈回家了。在回家的路上，我心里想：花灯可真漂亮，真希望家乡一年有好几个象这样的元宵节，这样我就可以多看几眼那美丽的花灯了，还可以放漂亮的孔明灯。

每年的正月十五是元宵节，是春节后面第一个重要的节日，也叫上元节或灯节。

元宵节有吃元宵的习俗。过春节的前几天，我和妈妈去超市买元宵，不过超市卖的大部分都是汤圆。汤圆是南方的一种食品，比北方的元宵皮要薄，馅要多。我更喜欢汤圆。元宵节的早上，我一家人就吃了汤圆。

元宵节还有看花灯、猜字谜的习俗。傍晚，我们一家人去看花灯，花灯的种类很多，有可爱的卡通人物，有逼真的小动物，有美丽的花朵，还有吉祥如意的龙凤呈祥等，美轮美奂、壮丽无比，漂亮极了。

印象最深刻的是爸爸给我讲的元宵节还有踩高跷的习俗。爸爸说，他小时候，每到元宵节，村民们就会穿上古代服装，扮成传说中的人物，踩在特制的木跷上，在锣鼓声和鞭炮声中，边舞边走。但是，现在这种活动很少了，我都九岁了，一次也没见过，我非常想去看一看，感受一下这样的氛围。

元宵节英语作文三

The chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced.

Several explanations are hanging around.

All agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, wasoriginally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared.

One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian.

To nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it didswallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

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.

关于元宵节的英文介绍

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。

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。

每年的正月十五是元宵节，是我国的传统佳节，都非常热闹，我们主要是观看放烟花。但今年与往年不一样，因为今年是龙年，我们是龙的传人，所以我们看了一场非常精彩的戏。 The fifteenth day of each year is the Lantern Festival, which is the traditional festival of our country. It is very lively. We mainly watch fireworks.But this year is not the same as in previous years. Because this year is the year of the dragon, we are the descendants of the dragon, so we watched a very exciting scene.

正月十五那天，我去了世纪广场，那里人山人海，有几千人，大家都围成一个圈看节目，我和我妈妈赶到时，节目已经开始了。有玩龙灯的，有玩狮子的，有跳舞的等等。听说玩狮子的人是从广州请来的，要花几万元才能请来，可令我印象最深的是玩龙灯。

玩龙灯开始了，这时上来了一条巨大的长龙，前面有一个人举着一个球，而龙就在后面追那个球。当那条长龙走到中央时，向对面的观众敬礼，拜年。那条龙又接着在空中飞腾，突然那条龙好像弹簧似的形状绕了起来，越来越快，越来越快，这时观众们的尖叫声和掌声大起来了，接着那条龙慢慢的盘成了一圈一圈的，像一个大饼，接着又散开了，最后向大家敬个礼就出场了。

看完节目，亲戚们都到我家去吃午饭，桌子上摆着一碟碟美味佳肴，我们坐到了桌子上。“大家吃吧。”爸爸说完，我对着一大桌让人垂涎三尺的佳肴，立刻狼吞虎咽的吃起来。由于盆子里的冬菇实在太滑，我夹了很久才夹到，可是不小心把冬菇汁贱到了爸爸的脸上，把爸爸搞成大花脸，我们全都哈哈的笑，妈妈却捂住嘴偷笑。爸爸一看，马上装出可怜相，我们笑得更厉害了，爸爸拿出纸把脸上的冬菇汁擦干净了。“咦，怎么有一股焦焦的味道呢?”爸爸说道。“天哪，我的汤圆。”于是，妈妈像火箭似的冲进了厨房。

过了一会儿，妈妈端了一盆黑黑的东西出来了。爸爸一看，笑着说：“你好棒呀。”黑汤圆你也做得出来。“哈哈……”这笑声奏出我家和谐乐曲。

今年的元宵节我们全家人在广场看了精彩的表演，还在一起吃了汤圆，一家人团团圆圆，其乐融融，真好!这快乐幸福的元宵真让人难忘呀!

舅舅家的村子里，元宵节的时候，有个习俗就是舞龙灯。那时他们的龙灯称为板凳龙，是由很多很多的花灯固定在一块块宽宽的板上面，然后一块连接一块，作为龙身子，加上龙头和龙尾，就组成了一条长长的美丽的板凳龙。

到了元宵节前，家家户户都在家里设计制作花灯。长的板凳龙，有好几百节组成呢，各种各样美丽的花灯，浩浩荡荡的，场面可壮观了。

外公在世的时候就自己制作过龙灯。先挑选很粗的木头锯成一块块宽宽的木板，在木板的两头打上用于串联其他龙灯的孔。其次设计花灯的形状，用竹篾制作花灯的模型，买来各种彩纸糊在模型上，一盏美丽的龙灯就这么做成了。然后把这美丽的龙灯固定在这块宽宽的木板上，然后等除夕一过，在大家商定好的某个日子，各家各户把制作好的龙灯从家里抗出来，在操场上集中排队，比比谁家的龙灯设计最奇特，看看谁家的龙灯糊得最漂亮，把所有的龙灯首尾相连，一条美丽的板凳龙就这么诞生了。当然，一条板凳龙最重要的是龙头，龙头的形状也是不同的，有仰龙，有卧龙。而舅舅村子里的板凳龙的龙头是仰头式的，一般会由好几户人家一起合作制作而成的，而且摆放在固定的位置，龙头前会供奉一些水果啥的，看上去比较神圣的。

妈妈说，以前舞龙灯，是为了祈求风调雨顺，让农民伯伯们在新的一年里有个好收成。现在舞龙灯，是为了丰富大家的业余生活，活跃元宵的喜庆气氛，图的就是开心快乐。

人人都知道元宵节，月亮比中秋节还圆，喜庆味儿比除夕还足，美丽的灯笼把黑夜照得比白天还亮。

元宵节是正月十五，也是农历新年的第一个月圆之夜，天上的明月与彩灯交辉相映，美得宛如人间仙境，所以它还有个“小名”——元夜，之所以叫元夜，是因为“夜”和“宵”在古代是一个意思。元宵在很久以前是一个祭祀的日子，后来才逐渐演变成了一个娱乐的节日。

明朝和清朝的时候，元宵节迎来了“节生”中的巅峰，朱元璋先是把吃豆粥改成了吃元宵。元宵又叫汤圆，外面是一层白白的糯米粉，又柔又韧，里面的馅更是多种多样，有绿豆沙馅的，有红豆馅的，有芝麻馅的，还有各式水果馅的呢!我最喜欢芝麻馅，吃起来香甜可人，美味极了!元宵还有团圆的意思，十足的美味又美好。

明朝时期，有一种龙灯，民众和军士们都玩，有十余丈的，也有百余节的，玩起来多则上百人，龙会跟着绣球灵活地做出扭、挥、仰、跪、跳、摇等动作，用来祈求平安与丰收。而另一种纱灯则是在上面作画，越是高手画的，灯就越有价值。我最喜欢走马灯，一圈圈地动着，有《西游记》、《水浒传》、《三国演义》等，人物都有趣又不失美观，好玩极了。

美味诱人的元宵，气势磅礴的龙灯，精美绝伦的纱灯，这真是“银烛影中明月下，相逢俱是踏灯人”啊!

春节的喜庆还没有散尽，我们便迎来了我国的传统节日——元宵节。

早上，我起床时，厨房传来一阵阵声音，我无精打采地问：“妈妈，您在做什么啊？”妈妈问答到：“啊！你说这个啊，我在做汤圆。”我说：“啊！瞧我这记性，都忘记了今天是元宵节了！”妈妈说：“没关系，幸亏我还记得！来过来吃汤圆吧！”我说：“好。”

过了一会儿，我吃了6个汤圆。”妈妈说：“好！这代表六六大顺。”爸爸说：“我吃了8个。”妈妈说：“这代表要“发”了。”妈妈说：“我吃了10个，这代表十全十美！”我说：“耶！我们大家都吉祥！”奶奶说：“你们忘了我啦！我吃了4个，代表金三银四。”我们大家笑了起来。

我缠着爸爸要带我去看灯，爸爸答应了。

我们来到广场，真是人山人海，台上的灯真是各种各样！有：猫、龙、鸡……但最多的还是狗，有哈巴狗、大狗、小狗……还有一些我叫不出名字的狗，过了一会儿爸爸问我：“你知道元宵节的历史吗？”我摇了摇头。爸爸说：“让我来告诉你吧，“元宵节”原名“尚元节”它起始于隋朝隋炀帝时，当时过元宵节要举办盛大的活动，戏台长八里，表演者三万多人，音乐人有一万八千多人。然后就唐代唐玄宗时期，当时长安灯市规模大，燃灯五万盏，花灯花样繁多，灯楼广达20间，高150尺，成了全民狂欢节……到了现代就是老百姓自己举办。”我说：“哦！原来是这样呀！不说了，专心看灯吧！”爸爸说：“好！”

过了几个小时，要到下午了，舞灯结束了，人们都散了，我们也回家了。

元宵节多么有趣呀！

今天是元宵节，所以爸爸妈妈带着我出去好好的逛一下。早晨，我们吃好鲜美可口的汤圆就出发。

我们第一个景点是广袤的世纪公园。到公园，我们急急忙忙地租一辆三人的自行车。刚开始，我们还有点不习惯，所以妈妈一直说：“你们怎么骑的！要摔下来……”后来，我们团结起来，越骑越快，越骑越好，越骑越开心。接着，我和爸爸一起去玩儿游乐场的“惯性列车”。“叮铃铃”，铃声响，列车开始慢慢上升。哇，我看到整个世纪公园。还没等我反应过来，列车就随着“旋涡”往下滑，吓得我心惊肉跳。“哗”，列车像是从浪尖掉下谷底。唉，真是有惊无险。

第二个景点是古老而端庄的城隍庙。一进大门，就看到一棵高大的树，上面还有成千上万的红色飘带，这是为什么呢？哦，原来它的名字叫“许愿树”。然后，我看一下简介，就到对面买两条许愿带，使劲地往上扔。啊，我的梦想“成真”。

随后，我们到九曲桥那里看四大名著。令我印象最深的就是西游记里的猪八戒背媳妇儿。孙悟空变的猪八戒欣喜若狂地背媳妇儿，而在一旁的猪八戒傻眼，哪来的另一个我？

元宵节真快乐！
